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 are 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 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.).

IcelandThe bathroom sink could be a bit bigger but thats just a tiny detail.
This was a great place to stay in the westfjords! The common room has everything you need in order to prepare your dinner/breakfast. The place itself was clean and comfortable. The location is beautiful and its not too far away(within walking distance) from a hotspring which is great to relax after a day of exploring!

United StatesMy only complain, not just here but many place sin Iceland is the flat pillows. Woke up with stiff neck/neck cramps. Otherwise, no complaints!
New facilities. Communal space in the back and spacious kitchen area. Rooms were named after major sights in the area. swimmable hot spring right down the road, less than 5 minute drive. Stayed for 1 night on our journey around the island. Met owner, nice guy and talked about future plans to had to facilities. Very clean, and basic necessities provided.

United StatesThe only improvement would be adding some hooks for hanging towels up in the bathroom. Not a huge deal since there is a coat rack by the door.
Clean, self check-in was easy. Beautiful location. Heated floors!! Didn't stay long enough to enjoy the patio, but it was a lovely feature for a multiple night stay.

United StatesLovely location with great views! Hard to close the blinds at night because the ocean and mountain view was so great. Very clean, very nice. Kitchen was well stocked. Check in was easy. I got a very well thought out email before check in. It's brand new so everything is flawless and carefully designed. No freezer in the kitchen and ice isn't something you can purchase anywhere that I found within an hour or two. Local town markets just don't have it. Not that the Guest House should have provided this, but it's a good thing to know if you are bringing your own food and cooler. Also, worth knowing, the nearby pool, while lovely, isn't as hot as I'd have wished and they do want you to pay a bit more than most places. To be clear, not a complaint about Guest House, just wanting to share information.

United StatesI agree with a previous review that it would be nice to mention that the nearest store is 30 min drive. Travelers should come prepared and bring food with them.
Guesthouse is new and clean, had a private bathroom in a room and a shared kitchen with all necessary supplies. The staff was responsive and answered right away when we needed help. Only 10 min drive from the ferry.
