How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewProperty was very nice and very clean although small compared to American standards. The outside of the building is not very appealing but inside is very nice and clean.
Little pricey but it is the peak season.

Verified reviewLocation has 2 very clean spacious full bathrooms. Full kitchen to cook. Better get your own food/breakfast because no grocery or restaurant near by . Separate dining tables to eat . Bed very comfortable. Great Mountain View from room .
No laundry . It’s needed because of isolated location . Little expensive. It would be good if they served breakfast.

Verified reviewNice hard beds, clean room, good price and location. Had a washing machine and great kitchen with good coffee maker and good coffee.
6 rooms with two toilets and one shower can get crowded sometimes. Radiators in the room had no instructions on how to turn them off or change settings.
Two rooms have a private bathroom.

Verified reviewA nice room with shared bathroom and kitchen. We were unlucky that on the day we arrived one of the two bathrooms was locked because the toilet had broken, so we had to share one bathroom with 4 rooms. It was okay, though, and it was fixed on the next day. The kitchen is very spacious. Kudos to the hard-working cleaning lady, making sure that everything is super clean.

Verified reviewThe position and the room and bathroom dimension.
Kitchen was very old and dirty. Into the drawers and into the cabinets the dirt was really bad. The outside of the building was old and shabby. Kitchen equipment also was old and not sufficient for all the guests.

Verified reviewYou have everything you need for a short stay in Vik. We only stayed for 1 night and booked the room with own bathroom. The facility in the room is basic but everything in good condition and everywhere is super clean and there is a lot of space for putting your stuff in bathroom. Bed is very comfortable. Self check in worked out without problem and driving to Vik town is just 5min by car.
Unfortunately the neighbor next to us were a bit loud. Maybe it would be good to have a short reminder to the guests to be a little bit careful with their voice volume as the rooms are directly next to each other.
