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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 KingdomArbakki is a family home that has been turned into guest accommodation. This led to a very welcoming feel. We had free use of the kitchen and dining areas and a hot tub. Despite us being the only guests the breakfast was still extensive and delicious. Our Ukrainian host, on behalf of the home owner, was excellent company and a pleasure to meet.

IcelandI would have liked to see more options for breakfast to accommodate allergies and lifestyles: gluten-free, refined sugar free, foods made solely from whole ingredients (without additives, preservatives, etc.).
Quiet and homey feel. Lots of cozy spaces throughout the property to rest in and take in the sun and beautiful nature surroundings.

The owner has really organized and maintained the place very well. The place is very clean and the owner does make it a point to emphasize this using notices on walls, which we liked. The breakfast was okay. The surrounding of the property is very green and scenic, with quite a number of trees around that we were missing elsewhere...

United StatesThere are two towns with the same address. Make sure you put the entire address and your GPS.
Somewhat remote, though we loved it. We liked the restaurant across the road from B&B where you could see the cows. The Trout was wonderful. Homemade ice cream was good, too. One hour, 15 min from Reykjavik. Two hours from Vik. You can see two great waterfalls on your way to Vik, black sand beach, and great restaurants in Vik with little effort. We also drove back towards Vik to see Caves of Hella, 50 minutes towards Selfoss/Reykjavik off Route 1. Excellent location for us to explore. We drove to see a recent volcano eruption on our way back to Reykjavik. While a little out of way due to road closure on the coast, we would do again. We saw the mountains and a creek outside our bedroom window. Owner and son were great people! You can see the Northern Lights if they're out that night. Would go back. Was recommended by a cousin of mine from usa.
