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...).

SingaporeWe spent a night here on our journey to Snaefellsnes, and we couldn't be more pleased with our choice. The small, cozy cabin features 3 bedrooms. While there wasn't much room for our luggage, the welcoming atmosphere was what truly mattered. It had a homey vibe, offering us privacy and a sense of serenity. With the chilly weather outside, the cabin felt clean and warm. Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful space, what's more, there's a private hot tub right outside the door step!!!! :))

AustraliaAll six beds were singles! We would have preferred one of the 3 bedrooms to have a double bed.
This rustic cottage was a few kilometres out of Blonduos, just off the main road. It was easy to find and very private. The location was picturesque and convenient for an overnight stay. The rooms were small and cosy with very comfortable furniture. The kitchen was also small but well-equipped. We had a very pleasant stay.

United KingdomWe were expecting to use the hot tub for a soak but unfortunately the pipes to fill the hot tub were broken (we were informed a few days before our arrival). We would normally expect an extractor fan in the bathroom but there wasn't one here which made the bathroom humid for the next person.
Property is located in the middle of a farm land, so it is a bit remote but it would be great for seeing the Northern Lights (there are windows on all 4 sides of the property too). Two of the room sizes are cosy (enough for 2 single beds with a night stand in the middle), there is another double bedroom too. Spacious hallway with a bench and coat hangers for plenty of boots (and a place to sit whilst removing/ putting on boots), coats and luggage space. Kitchen only has 2 stove tops and no oven, but this is fine for those not looking to cook extravagant meals.

ThailandThe water has some natural smell like Geysir Hot Springs. But it did not bother me at all. Just not drinking it.
The cottage is well fit with 6 people since there were 3 rooms with 2 beds in each room. The mattress and pillows were clean and soft. I also like the blanket which can keep me warm all through the night. We could cook Thai food easily using the kitchenette provided. Many thanks.

SwedenThe place is a little outdated and the floor in the bathroom is wonky. Anyways it was good value for money.
The cottage is cozy and has a lot of space. The location is remote and quiet. Bet it would be a good spot to see northern lights, if it hadn't been so cloudy.

United KingdomSmall bedrooms and beds with nowhere to put luggage. Cooking facilities inadequate for more than very basic meals with a small 2 hob stove with no oven. Bathroom facilities need to be completely refurbished. The shower is tiny and the bathroom floor has obviously suffered with water damage.
Is a cosy and comfortable cottage just off the main route 1 which is very convenient for a nights stopover. Good value.

United StatesThe shower was awful small. My kids and husband are all over 6 feet tall and even I had trouble fitting. The floors in the kitchen/living room are just plywood. Seems I fished to me. It is very clean and well decorated just unfinished. Also so many candles but no way to light one! Lol. Could use a washer and dryer? As we always seemed to be wet in Iceland.
The space is nice. Three bedrooms, a mud room and living room/kitchen. Great space for a family. We got in late so didn’t see the hot tub.

United Kingdom3 small bedrooms with single beds in all of them. The floor in the bathroom was rotten and was very unstable, almost to the point of going through it. The toaster didn’t work and given that it sleeps 6, there were only 4 chairs at the small dining table. It’s advertised as having a hot tub, which it did, however, we received a message saying that we would need to fill it upon our arrival and empty it on departure. We only stayed one night and therefore, didn’t have the opportunity to actually use it. The kitchen only had two hobs and as a family of 5, caused a bit of a problem when cooking. Also didn’t have an oven. The whole place felt tired and a bit dilapidated and could do with a makeover.
Location for what we needed as a family was perfect.
