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...).

Cozy lodging, very clean, beautifully renovated bathrooms, well stocked, thermal spa. This family is ready for guests. They’re organized and prepared.

AustraliaNot a single thing!
We loved our cottage! It was rustic but modern and clean. The cooking facilities and equipment were great for self catering as there isn't really much around if you want to eat out. The location is beautiful and it includes a lovely hot pool with gorgeous view. Whilst the reception/check- in is in a different location (*read the directions given) it's very easy to find and the hosts are wonderful. I went for a ride on an Icelandic Horse at the stables that are apart of accomodation which was beautiful. We had a problem with our car and the very kind man in reception organised for someone to sort it out for us. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's fabulous.

ThailandNothing! I was just a bit sad to see that there were horses nearby the accommodation when we drove off.
The accommodation was excellent. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything I needed, and the surroundings of the property were simply the best. The outdoor hot spring was amazing; at first, I thought I wouldn't be able to enjoy it because the weather was so cold, but it turned out to be even better than I expected.

PanamaVery nice spot. The house is a dreamhouse in the middle of the land. To see northern lights is a really good spot. There is a viking bathtub or natural hot water bathtub in the middle of the area. The house is really beautiful. Check in instructions might be a little bit tricky for some people but we did not have any issues finding the house, they are accurate. The only thing we did not lik is that we found out serveral flies inside the house and I had to take them out. The rest, only beautiful.

United StatesWe got an INCREDIBLE Aurora show from the cabin, the hot tub was really nice and relaxing, the cottage itself was huge and our largest accommodation in Iceland so we were cozy and able to spread out. The full kitchen was very nice and we loved the slippers provided to get down to the hot tub. It was all very thorough and thought out for a really great stay. We wished we had more than one night here.

Czech RepublicWe would prefer to have the cottage already warmed when we arrived. It was very cold that day and the heating was not on. So we needed to wait 30 minutes to feel comfortable 😊
The peaceful environment, the view of the mountains and the hot bathtub. The cottage has a big kitchen (for a cottage) and there’s even space for “living room”. The books and puzzle were a nice add on. Comfortable bed.

United StatesThe upstairs is accessible by a steep staircase (no problem for us, but some people may find it difficult). The notes on the heater were confusing, because we were cold and did not think we were able to turn it up…I had to message and was told we could increase the heat.
Nice hot tub that was easy to use with the provided shoes and robes. The location was close to the ring road, but was quiet and had pretty views.
