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...).

AustriaThe fire alarm started making beep beep in the evening, probably because of someone cooking. The box for it is at the entrance. So we all gathered there trying to guess what to do. The instructions on the box are in islandic language! Hello? For foreign guests? How about english? There is no staff near the house. We pressed some button and it went off. We were so happy. But then it started making beep beep at 4 in the morning! Half of the house woke up. We could not make it go off again. I called the telephone number I had. Someone answered and said that she will give the information further and someone will come. One hour later the beep beep stopped by itself. Finally the old lady in charge came to turn it off only at 8.am! Well thank you (irony)! Some group of guests left the house already at 5.am because it woke up from this beep beep and could not sleep. Please write instructions in english for turning that thing off!
The house and the rooms are OK for 1 night. The house is a former school, there are common bathrooms, but the bathrooms are nicely renovated. The rooms were clean and nice, the beds comfortable. There is a common kitchen with 2 big tables in the eating room. There are appr maybe 15 rooms in the house, so the kitchen was full of cooking people alls the time, actually there are 2 kitchens in one room and 2 big tables for appr 8 people each, but this is not enough if everyone is there at the same time. Still everyone was nice and considerate of the other guests and made it work. We code the code for opening the door from booking in the afternoon (so the phone always has to be charged and to have internet in Island, you get the code sent always in the afternoon the same day). The fotos are as in reality. So for Island and for a 1 night stay it was OK. The price is good. The location is good, near Egilstadir. Some tips depenting on where you are going - don't miss the GeoSea Termal baths in Husavik with a view to the ocean, plan some time for the Studlagil canyon between Myvatn an Egilstadir , because we missed it due to lack of time, so sorry about that, maybe skip the Myvatn baths instead and visit the beautiful Vök baths in Egilstadir, you can also bathe in the lake from those. And don't forget to buy moskitoe nets for wearing in Myvatn area in a tank station - we missed that and were very annoyed by thousends of mosquitoes (not biting) in Myvatn area and in Krafla.

United States of AmericaWe had no cell service until we arrived, so we did not see the message telling us to call a half hour before arriving. So upon arrival, we had to wait 15 minutes for the host to arrive back on location to check us in and collect payment. It was not a huge deal, but did delay our evening plans. Zero channels available on the TV.
Spacious room with decent amount of counter space. Beds were comfortable. Having a kitchen was nice.

United States of AmericaLayout is quirky, 1 bedroom is off the entryway, and the other is down a hallway off the common living area. No bedroom doors, just accordion partitions. Shower is tiny and only shampoo/bodywash combo is provided. Walls are a little thin, could hear our neighbors.
Large apartment with nice kitchenette, fridge, and large bathroom. Beds and blankets were comfy and had black out shades on the windows. Spacious entryway perfect for dropping shoes and coats. Private forest view outside of town. Check in is through lockbox so check your messages for the instructions. No one is onsite.
