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.).

Stay was very basic and not value for money. There was a smell in room and bed was very small. Cooking area can get very busy for the number of people the property can have stay.

United StatesNo dish cleaning sponge. Shower room pathetically small and water stops every minute, has too keep pushing to keep water flowing It is very odd that customers were required to take out the bedding covers, pillow, comforter and bedsheets. This obviously should be staffs job. Price does not reflect the value.
Large dinning area with great view.

We Had a room in the main building, close to toilet, showers, and kitchen. The room was basic but comfortable. Kitchen and dining area was spacious and well equiped. Alltogether, it was a very good experience.

NetherlandsWe stayed in the main building and slept horribly, mainly due to the quality of the beds in our family room. The double bunkbeds make a horrible squeaking noise whenever anyone moves, which x4 means waking each-other up countless times during the night. And if it isn’t the beds, it’s everybody’s squeaking doorhandles, from the rooms to the toilets.
Nice guesthouse, situated in a beautiful landscape, only 20 minutes from Diamond Beach and 30 minutes from Höfn. Everything you could need is available on-site. A large shared kitchen, breakfast or dining room, sitting room, etc.

HungaryWe had a room in the guest house. Other options might have been better, but this one had a stinky and warm entrance room with shoe racks. The common kitchen was dirty. The shower cabins had broken doors. Hangers were only inside the cabins, so you couldn’t place your things outside. The walls were thin—you could hear if someone opened a soda on the other side of the building and even tell the brand by the sound. NOISY, LOUD doors—after 6 a.m., there was constant door shutting. It would be so cheap to stick something on them to dampen the noise… One pillow per person. I prefer two. Another thing: you have to remove the bed sheets and take them out yourself. Nonsense for the price. OK in a youth hostel, but not in a guesthouse. Early check-out time for the season..
The host was cool. The location is great The option for self check-in is nice, especially in the long days of summer. The kitchen is well equipped and the eating area on the terrace is nice. Comfortable beds.
