Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PanamaI would have preferred real milk and brewed coffee in the morning. We don't care for Nescafe and powdered creamer.
It was a lovely guest house with a charming and helpful host. Excellent location, good value.

United KingdomThe bathroom is tiny and the sink really too small to wash in.
An Icelandic house converted into a guesthouse I was lucky enough to have the ground floor room which was both very light and very convenient. Very comfy bed and I borrowed a suitable chair to sit at the desk available to use my computer. Very close to all amenities but quiet and well furnished. My flight was delayed and Gisli kindly came to pick me up from the airport and book me in for an extra night at a reduced fee.

ItalyIf I had to find a “negative thing” it would be the shower curtain that didn’t close very well and it kept on sticking onto our wet legs.
The self service check-in and out is very convenient. There’s also a reception area but we didn’t meet anyone of the staff in our stay. Anyway they always respond via booking and they’re always willing to help. The accommodation in Akureyri is up on a very slope road and on the day we stayed in the city it was snowing so the road was also slippery. We recommend people to drive very carefully and use a 4x4 car with appropriate winter tires. There are multiple parking spots nearby. The room was on the first floor and it was a bit difficult to carry our heavy luggage. The room was by far the best one we’ve booked in our trip in Iceland. It was very spacious, the bed was big, it had different windows so natural light could pass through, the host provided us fresh towels, sheets, there was a hairdryer and a mini fridge as well. The bathroom was amazing, it felt luxurious. It had a tub big enough to fit 2 people, a small shower and a little balcony with a nice view of the streets and trees covered in snow. It was a really nice experience, thanks

Great location with easy free parking with such a price. Clean and comfy beddings in hotel quality. Spacious bedroom and toilet, allowing two big suitcases to be opened while having place to walk around. Friendly host, always available. Beautiful wooden staircase.

FinlandNo complaints!
The house is beautiful and in a really good location. Our room was spacious, including the private bathroom. The room also had a mini-fridge and a table for two. We loved the art on the walls, and the owner was really nice and gave us tips about the nearby sights and also talked about the history of the city. Everything was really clean and comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights, and were really happy with the accommodation!

United StatesThere are a couple stairs to get into the building (even if staying on the first floor), and it is on a large hill with a steep walk back from the city centre. Not really a negative- just something to be aware of if a guest has limited mobility.
We had an upstairs room with balcony in this guesthouse. It was a very beautiful and restored historic hotel on the inside, which was a nice change from most of the very new, minimalist cabins and guesthouses we stayed at on our trip. Couldn't have been happier with our stay, and only wished that we have booked more than one night to explore Akureyi. The hotel is a very short walk from the city centre, with plenty to do nearby. The botanical gardens are worth a visit!
