Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

We stayed in the bungalow and it was so nice. The bungalow was big and clean. The breakfast and dinner were great!

United States of AmericaThe access to the "hut" we stayed in is via steps so you have to carry your own luggage up and down those stairs. no car access to the one we were in. it was a bit of an inconvenience. the road access to the guesthouse is super bumpy so drive slowly.
A very nice guesthouse, with a nice breakfast included. we also enjoyed their dinner on our last night there. the little "hut" we stayed in was very cute and cozy. this location is about 30 min drive from Hofn and approx 40 minutes from Glacier Lagoon which was very convenient for us.

DenmarkWe were only here for 2 nights and couldn't fault anything.
The hotel staff were extremely friendly and so welcoming, just what we needed after a stressful drive in the snow. The food was very tasty and came in big portions, all freshly cooked. Location is great for visiting the glaciers and Diamond beach. Our daughter loved feeding the sheep! Small but comfy rooms with great showers. The breakfast was also good.

CroatiaThe Guesthouse is situated off-road, on a beautiful farm. The cabin we stayed in was cozy and equiped with bathroom and towels. The view was amazing and the food delicious. We've booked it randomly because we needed a best value place to stay near the Diamond Beach, and we certainly did not regret it. A warm recommendation to anyone who finds themselves needing a shelter between Vik and Höfn.

GreeceAbsolutely stunning location, I can’t emphasise this enough. We were lucky enough to experience some of the aurora borealis just a short drive from the guesthouse. The rooms are very clean and warm in the winter, and the breakfast included in the price is a real plus and, from our experience, this is quite rare in Iceland. Probably the most memorable accommodation from our whole trip.

CanadaRooms were on the warm side and you are unable to control the temperature as it is central heat. It was very windy so the window wouldn't stay open. A few more hooks on the wall for clothes would be handy and more towel hooks on the WC.
Beds were very comfortable. Lovely view of the mountains and ocean. Staff helpful and extremely friendly. We had dinner at the restaurant twice and both times were excellent. Love the warm fresh bread at breakfast. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

We were expecting really less, but the room was big and cosy, with bathroom in the room. View from the window was amazing, over the fields and glaciers in the distance. Breakfast buffet to die for - the best breakfast we had in Iceland! Not to mention the dinner - be there at 19:00 start to order the lamb (do not go for the burger, seriously try the lamb!).

AustraliaBedroom door handle was broken when arrived. Young staff member very understanding, older staff member blamed us for breaking it when we had only just arrived. Asked for alternative room. Instead they “fixed it” only to nearly get locked in our room in the morning.
Breakfast was great. Beautiful surroundings. Quiet rural atmosphere with great views of the glaciers

United States of AmericaIt was further from Jökulsárlón than I might have liked, but I would have happily stayed there a few days and figured out nearer glacial adventures from there.
Absolutely gorgeous surroundings with glaciers and mountains on all sides. The room had 3/4 length windows onto the mountains. Stunning. Spacious room for one, but 3 could have stayed in it and it would've been a bit more cozy. Dinner was great. Breakfast good. Staff just lovely!

United States of AmericaThere was no shampoo or conditioner in the shower, however the receptionist kindly gave us a bottle of shampoo for us when we asked. We greatly appreciated that as we were coming off a long day!
We loved our cozy cabin! It was perfectly warm, and the bedding was really nice. Breakfast was very good, great selection of meats, breads, cheeses, and fruits. Definitely well worth what we paid for! It was cloudy when we stayed but I’d imagine this would be a great place to see the northern lights on a clear night.
