Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

GermanyActually we liked everything! Please note that the rooms have different sizes, so when you book it, check it first.
Very cozy place with a very good kitchen, where you can prepare your own meal. This guesthouse is located right in the center of the town, so all the shops were very close by. Our room was very clean and mattress was fine, not too soft neither too hard. Shared bathroom actually was not the only one, but plenty of them on the second floor and on the first floor, shower is clean and good, with different new towels on the shelves, clear sanitary rules. We don’t watch tv, but this one was equipped with a streaming platform, so most probably if you need to watch anything you will find something. Very helpful generous Icelanders working and running this place, we could get to know many interesting things about an island and town and got a guided ride to the lighthouse when the weather could be getting harsh. Thank you!

United StatesCould use a couple pillows per person, or just one big thick pillow. Two beds have a windowsill corner at them. So constant adjusting small flat pillow and could concuss yourself:) the house was a little drafty. It was horrible winds that day and every once in a while could feel the breeze come into the room. It’s ground level and could hear people walking by on the street. But it wasn’t often at least.
Nice to have a place for a family of five without the cost of two rooms in most places. The bathroom was fantastic! Great shower, heated floor, lots of space. Comfortable beds

We would definitely stay here again. Our room slept our family of 5 and we had a very nice private bathroom. The location was perfect. The shared kitchen was an added perk. My husband was able to wake up early and make breakfast while the kids slept. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked and very clean. The host was very welcoming.
