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...).

GermanyWe had a blackout : no electricity and no internet in the evening till next day early morning 8:00am. Personally feeling, it is a bit overpriced.
The mattress is amazing comfortable. Nice view to the beach and also can really enjoy the quiet. 10 mins walking distance to the nice sand beach. The owner and staff are very friendly and it is a nice cozy place to chill out.

AustraliaRooms and dinner were over-priced given the quality, clearly the remote location allows for very high prices. Refused to advise the cost of the set menu dinner prior to our arrival and also told us they couldn’t store a few items in a fridge overnight.
Excellent location to see the bird cliffs. Rooms were spacious and well heated. Dinner portions were adequate.

United States of AmericaWe were unable to stay for our second booked night, and did not expect to get any refund. However, we asked our host if they could provide us with sandwich lunch the next day, which seemed not unreasonable under the circumstances, since the hotel would receive the extra night's revenue. In the morning, we were told that we could make our own sandwiches from whatever was leftover from breakfast (which wasn't much), and the hotel then charged us for these leftovers. Very poor guest service..
Everything was comfortable, clean, friendly, and delicious food.

SwitzerlandThe rooms are outdated. Since our rooms are at backyard, I guess it requires to open the window to get some fresh air and to avoid the smell since both rooms had their windows open when we got in. Downside was then there were quite many flies in the rooms, hardly had chance to expel them out and that was huge annoying. There was no place in our bathroom to hang towels even. No TV available but that's not a problem.
We booked two rooms for the family (2 adults and 2 kids). One room is on the ground floor at backyard, one goes further downstairs also at backyard. The space of the rooms are good. Regards Breakfast, I think at this corner of westfjord, we should be satisfied with the offered breakfast. The host met at breakfast is a kind man. I saw he cared his guests and talked pleasantly with them.

United States of AmericaThis is a great base to explore the Latrabjarg Peninsula (puffins, gold beach, red beach, etc.), but not so good if you plan to spend time in Patreksfjordr or some of the other fjords. Compared to other properties in Iceland, it's a touch expensive for what you get - however, there aren't many options in this area.
The family that runs the property is delightful and full of local insights and knowledge - be sure to ask them for tips when you are visiting! The property itself is a bit older, but has been well maintained - fresh paint everywhere. In the evenings, the property is extremely quiet - only the local sheep making any noise.

IcelandOne of the only options available close to the Látrabjarg cliffs but if you're a bird enthusiast it is absolutely worth the investment. Do check out the nearby Hnjótur Museum for a very thorough look at life in the southern Westjords in the old days, it is surprisingly complete for such a remote location. The owner also played us some french music during breakfast!
