Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaNo staff on site, but this is common it seems for the guesthouses in Iceland. Still, as a solo female traveler there were only 3 other men staying there and they were drinking. I'll stress that nothing inappropriate happened and they were respectful but being that the place is very isolated it wasn't a great vibe and I spent most of my time in my room.
Fantastic location, very interesting drive. Place met every need (though kitchen seemed a little sparse on some utensils). There was a nice common area and I believe they even had a shelf full of board games etc. for some entertainment. Plus wifi...

We are not used to shared bathrooms, but it was comfortable and not an issue. everything was very clean and cozy. The shared kitchen was well equipped and the dining room was big and cozy.

RomaniaSome windows and doors are quite old and could use an upgrade. Also, the beds were not that comfortable.
Clean accomodation with everything you expect to have. The road to get here is a gravel road and it is a little bit long, but the scenery you see on the window is worth it. We were lucky and in the morning in which we checked out we were able to see some whales in the water which was an amazing bonus!

GermanyThe location was as advertised - but for this accomodation the journey was the reward. Still, especially with a small car (Hyundai i10) the ride was adventurous but doable. Enjoy the view from the mountain top while driving and inside the fjord after arrival.

the view was just amazing - after managing the drive with our little car, not easy but doable, we had the perfect sunny weather with an spectacular view of the fjord.

United StatesRooms have very thin walls. Not a problem for us, but we overheard neighbors complaining about snoring from the next room over (it wasn’t us!). Gravel road would be a tricky drive in winter, but fine in summer.
Lovely location at the end of a fjord. Very quiet outside. Beds were comfortable, including bunk beds. Can easily accommodate large groups and good common spaces.

United StatesIt had a bed, a shower, and a kettle. That's all I expected, and all I needed. Luckily, I had my own blanket and sheets, otherwise it would have been a chilly night. A very quiet house in a VERY beautiful valley. But be ready; if you have a 4WD, it will take around 45 - 50 minutes to reach the hostel, down a steep and winding road. Don't be fooled by distances in Iceland. Ten kilometers can sometimes mean an hour or more. The views are absolutely worth it.

The fjord around is an incredible view, while arriving by the mountain, or simply enjoy it from the guesthouse spot.

ItalyThe guesthouse is in one of the most beautiful fjord of Iceland with wonderful landscapes and a magical atmosphere. We also had the chance to see a whale and the Northern lights. It seemed to live in a fary tale. The guesthouse is pretty basic with small rooms and bunk beds. The common area tho is quite big with big kitchen and dining room. One of the cheapest place we slept in, but alone is worth the trip.
