Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United KingdomI was on my own on a work trip. I felt safe, warm and comfortable. My colleagues were all in the harbour on a boat but I had to be onshore. Great WiFi for working and a lush bed for relaxing. A beautifully presented apartment with everything you’d ever need and more. I cannot fault this accommodation in anyway. I need to come back in 2024. Unfortunately it’s all booked and I’m at a loss as nothing in Lerwick compares. Gutted.

NorwayVery noisy shower enclosure. Not a problem, we got a lot of laughs from that.
The apartment was very homely, and detailed, even plates on the beside table for your glass. Fully equipped kitchen. There was also a backpack, lots of games, brochures and books about the island. We felt welcome.

United KingdomIt is expensive (accommodation in Shetland is). Car definitely essential as there’s no pavement on fast road into town, so while distance is walkable, for us with kids the road wasn’t. There’s a building site of some kind immediately behind property which was noisy on weekday but quiet at wknd. It’s also brightly lit 24 hours which was not ideal.
Best equipped holiday house I’ve ever stayed in. Could have comfortably stayed much longer. Spacious, spotlessly clean.

United Kingdomthe only downside was the broken window in the bedroom which had been siliconed closed and was held in place with a tea towel and the shaft of a shovel. we werent informed about this until we arrived. there was no blind either and we had to get the owner to cobble together a way of blacking out the room or we wouldnt have been able to use the room. also the ceiling is slanted so you cant sit up in ned properly and the damaged window added to the difficulties.
the self containd apartment was well equipped, clean and inviting. the owner was there to show us around and there was a welcome pack with information about the area. they supplied tea and coffee as well as milk and a can of beer from the microbrewery from across the road. they also had a walkers pack if required. the TV is a smart TV so you can also log into your Netflix account if desires. there is ample parking which is a bonus. The bed was comfortable. there is a seating area so you can sit and have a meal at the table and the cooking utensils are supplied.
