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.).

LithuaniaMore furnishings would be nice (like bedside tables or a closet). Some staircases are narrow and steep. Also, a water filter might be needed - water has a specific smell (probably healthy, but still).
It is a small and newly constructed hotel in the middle of the fields with Icelandic horses and mountain views. Property is expanding, but all the construction is done very discreetly. Rooms are clean and very new. Beds are comfy. Breakfast is a very nice addition. Check-in is easy, and the staff is very nice. You will always find a hot coffee in the lobby.

CanadaThe bathroom could use a fan so the condensation doesn't collect and drop from the ceiling to the floor (this isn't a criticism, most hotels don't have bathroom fans). The staircase downstairs was quite narrow and difficult to manoeuvre luggage, but there was a fire exit door that we utilised.

NetherlandsThe water in the sink and douche smells like sulphur. Rooms are very small. No mosquito nets on windows. Expensive dinner. The room on the ground floor (aka basement) has a small window looking at the car wheels.
Cozy and clean, self-checking, thermal baths are nearby. Good breakfast. A lot of board games in the lobby.

IcelandMaybe what would be needed is, night stands and a lamp next to the beds. But I assume that that is on the to do since it looked like the renovation is still in process.
The whole house is newly renovated, and we were surprised how great everything was looking, since there were still some old pictures on the side. The location is great. The view Stunning. Breakfast was amazing. All in all amazing and in my opinion worth to book. For the price I expected something else, but was surprised how great it was! The family room was great

DenmarkIt is remote, but I didn’t mind it personally.
We had such an amazing stay and felt truly welcome and appreciated! The staff were so sweet and we had some good chats together. It was a super breakfast, which I love was included, especially for that price, which was one of the lowest on Iceland. We also enjoyed the most beautiful sunset looking over the fields and mountains.
