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.).

United StatesThe bathrooms and floors were often wet from guests using the small sinks. But this was not a huge deal! It was also a little outside of Vik which I did not realize but was not a problem.
Very cool hostel with great amenities.

SingaporeThe main building has reception, bar, kitchen and shared room. There’s a few building next door and opposite for individual room. So if the booking is an individual room, got to walk a few mins without shelter to the main building which has the bar, reception and kitchen. Vik is the place that has strong wind and during our time there, it’s a bit inconvenient for us to walk in a rain just to get to the kitchen.
We spend a night at The Barn, we like the design of the hotel, our room and the facility like a bar/restaurant, laundry services (28 euro per bag). The kitchen has the basic thing we need for cooking. Our room is big and warm in winter time :)

TurkeyThis was my second time at The Barn. Everything was perfect as it was 4 years ago, and the facility has even improved over time. When we arrived at The Barn, we asked if we could get an upgrade with a ensuite bathroom and they gave us a free upgrade. The room was a very adequate size and the bed was very comfortable. The Barn gave us an all-around excellent experience.

I loved the location! It was a walking distance from Reynisfjara Beach. Spacious area, with very well equipped kitchen. There's a bar in the lobby, lots of private clean showers, cosy atmosphere. Recommended 100%!

PortugalThe bedroom barely had space for the luggage of 5 persons, considering that it's a 8 person bed-room (4 couple beds) that could run a little bit out of space.
Stayed in a nice, clean and well-maintained 4-bed room dorm. The beds were nice and there was enough privacy with the curtains. The hostel contains all the required facilities: plenty of toilets, showers, a very well equipped and big kitchen. The staff was always very friendly and happy to help.

Australia2 shower/toilets wasn’t quite enough for the floor. Having separate toilets would have been ideal instead of combined toilet/shower rooms as you’d sometimes be waiting for people to finish showering to be able to use the toilet.
Perfect amenities and clean hostel. We had a private room and it was a great size for a couple. Great kitchen / communal area. Loved having a coffee shop downstairs also.

NetherlandsThe beds are king beds for two people to share, this meant that you had to climb over each other if you had to get out of the bed.
The shared kitchen had a lot of equipment, therefore many guests could use it at the same time. Nice location near Reynisfjara beach, also enough free parking.
