Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United KingdomThe drive to get to the town is lovely along the fjord. A great place to see the northern lights especially at this time of year (late October when they are low on the northern horizon.) we only spent a night arriving in the dark and leaving in the dark but the town felt fairly basic but the bungalow was clean tidy. Perfect for a night

LatviaFound a used towel in the closet. Electricity did turned off once after turning on the microwave. We expected sofa bed but instead we got a double bed built above the kitchen table (a loft). That was a bit weird. A bit too small for 4 grownups.
When we arrived the heating was already turned on it was nice to step in in the warm house. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. Good place to stay overnight.

Very nice village. The house has a very good hot tub, you can fill it yourself. We asked the landlord to prefill it and it was good. After long drive we had a good time in it. Nice houseI think we were only missing cutting board.

United States of AmericaThere is no signage for this place, we almost went and knocked on private property in the same parking lot thinking the owner might be there. Ended up going to the hotel across the street, which we were very hesitant to do, "we aren't staying with you, but can you tell us where this place is" Well, low and behold, that is where you check in, we have been in the middle of changing things over. Signage should be the first thing. Also, put individual instructions for each different cabins spa. The manager had to come over, then told us the manual is not correct for our cabin, they are all different. It's the little things that will make a difference.
We loved this cabin. I would have liked it to have one bed instead of two twins, but it was just one night. The kitchen has anything you could need, the bathroom was very clean. We did use the hot tub, it was very relaxing. We would definitely stay here again. They just need to work out a couple of things.

BelgiumThe location is wonderful, next to a lake between the mountains. However, as it is a small village, it is quite remote so it really depends what you are looking for.
We stayed here for 4 nights with 2 adults and 1 baby. A baby bed and high chair was provided by the hotel next to the cabins. The cabin is made entirely out of wood, this is very cosy. Hot tub is very nice to relax. You can use all the facilities of the hotel for free (laundry room with washer & dryer, lounge area, coffee, kayak,...)
