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.).

GermanyEverything was perfect
Well equipped, spacious and very cosy apartment with a beautiful Mountain View. The booking was very short termed and we arrived late but everything was well prepared nonetheless. Our hosts were very friendly, helpful and even surprised us with delicious homemade pancakes! The apartment is well located for exploring the golden circle area and we can definitely recommend it also for a longer stay. We had an awesome time even though the weather was very rainy. Thanks Svetlana for hosting us!

We had a fantastic stay at this countryside house. The location is a peaceful quiet countryside, and it’s a great base for exploring attractions you want to drive to. The house (entire ground floor) was clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed and even more. Svetlana is friendly and helpful, providing clear instructions, local tips and fantastic breakfast pancakes! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet, comfortable place outside the city.

IndiaThe entire place was superb. This is the ground floor of the cottage where travellers stay, while the owners stay right upstairs. Hence, we were the only tourists there. It was a huge place. Very well maintained, tastefully decorated place. It was really nice to chat Svetlana and her husband. We stayed at a lot of places and farm houses during our 13 day trip to iceland (4 people). I have to say, this was the best accommodation we stayed in, with all being on similar price points. Most places had a double bed and a sofa cum bed. Only here we could get two large double beds. Everyone in our group were ecstacic about it. We stayed here for two nights, and saw amazing aurora right outside the door. We had clear skies both the days. Also there was little light polution here.

IndiaWe liked everything . Nothing to dislike about this property.
The location is on a farm very near to the ring road . The house is in a scenic location . The rooms are comfortable and you have all the facilities for a comfortable stay. we were just there for the night before we started to Vik . we all would have liked to have stayed longer. Will definitely book this property again the next time I am in Hella.

The host was so awesome and had arranged everything for us in order to make our trip very memorable. We arrived late after a long journey overnight and a road trip to Golden circle, the host greeted us with warmth. She made sure rooms were all clean and setup appropriately. Kitchen was fully loaded and she made sure to bake bread pudding fresh for us. Such an experience on the first day of our visit to this heaven country with heavenly host. The host took my daughters to the greenhouse and showed them the vegetables they were growing and also hand picked the baby radish fresh from the garden to eat. Loved the location of the guesthouse. It was reasonable and did not pinch at all.

The best apartment during our trip to Iceland. Thank you so much for being so welcoming and helpful. A shame we couldn´t see the Northern Lights (it was cloudy) but if you´re lucky you´ll be able to see them just outside the house :) The dog is so friendly! The house is beautiful too.
