Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

SloveniaAs mentioned above, regarding Reynivellir II.
Actually we managed to change Reynivellir II - room with shared bathroom to Gerdi house - room with private bathroom for an additional payment, but it was worth it. From our experience the first choice is o.k. for young backpackers, as it has kitchen and dining room very close to some rooms. We preffered a quieter and more private room at Gerdi house, close to the seaside.

IrelandWe expected to stay in a cabin instead of the farmhouse. It was noisy, lots of doors banging at all hours. Suitable as a young persons hostel. We were extremely disappointed not to stay in one of the cabins
Was warm, clean. The view the next day was spectacular

GermanyIt was the accomodation we liked least during our journey. It was okay, but the room was so small the suitcase did not even fit in, and in general the whole atmosphere was quite spare. Unfortunately the pictures did not match to the accomation in reality. We had to the pick up the keys 2 km away, in the end it was not even a key, just a password they could have written us online.
Very good location.

GermanyThere are two bathrooms for more or less 5 double rooms and one family room (so for a lot of people) Everything can be heard. It was my worst stay in Iceland. Even though the keys are at the location in a lock box, they make you go 3 kilometers to another location to tell you the key code. This information could have been written in a message.
The hotel is very close to the lagoon Jökulsárlón. I recommend you to go early and enjoy the peace and quiet alone, before the busloads of people arrive and the motorboat tours start at the lagoon at 10am.

IcelandLocation, tidiness, calmness.
We booked last minute room for three with shared bathroom being on the way already. (There is two of them for not a l lot of rooms- don’t worry) We’ve got instructions how to get in and went back to the house (it was written in an email that reception is 3km up the road-we just missed it 🙈). House is cozy, warm with spacious kitchen&living room. It was clean & warm inside. You have an access to all basics as hairdryer/soap/toilet paper/towel/kitchen equipment etc. You basically don’t need to have anything with you. House is located close to the waterfall and mountains. I can only highly recommend this place for an inexpensive stay! It was super cute! Takk fyrir!

United KingdomNothing - everything was just great :)
There was an initial issue re rooms for our group that was I think atributed to the communication between booking and the accommodation. This was soon cleared up and we were upgraded to two cottages rather than one cottage and the others being a few miles away. Good on the accommodation for sorting this out in good time for us. The views are amazing and to be in the hills, overlooking the ocean and with a 'private' waterfall behind the accommodation was amazing!!!

TaiwanElectricity isn’t stable. When we tried to open the oven during our stay the electricity of the whole building just went out. We wait for 15 minutes for the host to fix it. But it was late at night so at the end we couldn’t cook our dinner. There was just a tiny heater in the room so it was not warm enough at night. In the bathroom, there was no shelf to put all the toiletries.
Beds are comfortable. Rooms are cozy and clean.

Germany- the stairs to the upstairs bedroom are very steep, our son preferred to sleep on the sofa downstairs - (not a problem for us because we only stayed one night) the bedrooms would easily fit some missing shelves or cabinets for clothes - it takes an hour of driving to the next bigger town (Höfn)
- The cottage is located near the glacier lagoons, so that a night trip there can easily be managed - the house is cosy and two bathrooms with spacious showers are a real comfort - the kitchen is also very good equipped - the staff at the reception and in the restaurant is more than friendly and helpful, they made room for us although we were very spontaneous - the surroundings are quiet and picturesque with two lovely waterfalls nearby - there is a terrace

United KingdomThe pictures in the post are deceiving make sure you know that anything besides the cottage you are in a home with at least 8 other rooms that could hold up to 4 people each and sharing 4 bathrooms between all rooms. one kitchen for all. Our room was said to have a private kitchen, but it was shared with all. The balcony from our room was a square with stairs and it is lit with signs because it is a fire escape for the whole upstairs. As notified you do have to drive a little ways down the road to check in, but it is their other location the Gerdi guesthouse where tours are ran out of next door. It was unnecessary in my opinion because all they did was give you a key code to pick up the key that was already in the house to begin with. So it was an extra 15 minutes to drive to the place where their restraint and check in was. It misrepresented and it is just a hostel with a private room.
The location was nice. The shared kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed and they had a washer machine. We brought our own detergent, but it seemed like they may have it supplied. It was empty when we were there.
