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.).

United StatesFinding reception was a little confusing but we figured it out quickly
We stayed in a cottage house and it was very cozy. It was spaced far enough from the other cottages to have privacy but the toilets and showers were still close enough.

We loved everything about the place, the cottage itself (with shared bathroom) was a jewel - cosy, warm, enlighted during the day and sufficiently dark for a good sleep. A fully equipped small kitchen within the cottages with a table, chairs, fantastic raised up beds, a small heating radiator, fridge, kettle, cups, plates, curlery and also apossibilty of sitting on the patio where was another set of chairs and a table. The scared bathroom and lavatory was also very warm and clean, owners have thought of every detail needed during these private time :) For us Stora Sandfell place offers a full comfort one needs when travelling through Iceland. Gladly will return, thank you !

The cottages are in the woods, making the atmosphere really magic! Our cottage was tiny but it included everything we could possibly need: the bed was comfy, the kitchen simple but well equipped. The temperature was great!

Czech RepublicJohanna greeted us on the driveway and showed us the way to our cottage. In a few square meters of a privately located cottage, there was everything we needed for our two-night stay (and we would have liked to stay longer!). A double bed in the living area (plus a third bed that we didn't use), a table and a small kitchenette with the necessary equipment, a bathroom with a toilet and shower. Although it is clear that not all the equipment is brand new, everything was clean and cozy, carefully prepared for our arrival. A small terrace overlooking the horse paddock - we were lucky with the weather, so we used it for coffee and an evening drink. Our stay was also greatly enhanced by the opportunity to go on a horse ride with Johanna through the most beautiful Icelandic landscape you can imagine... thank you again!! We will be happy to come back. We wish all the people and animals on the farm good health... In the area, we recommend a trip to Hengifoss, walks in the Guttormslundur forest and the Vök spa.
