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...).

FranceThe sofa bed wasn't comfortable and there was disruptive noise from the fridge, air conditioner, hot tube.
Very friendly staff and great views right in the middle of lava field! It was super clean and had all ustensiles that you might need! The inside room is comfortable!

United KingdomThe owner was slow to respond to messages. We tried to order breakfast a few days before we arrived but they didn’t see the message until after we had already stayed.
A lovely cabin with views over the lava fields. Very clean and good storage space. We loved the hot tub.

United StatesIt’s advertised to sleep 4, which it does, but the 'bed' in the living room is not very comfortable at all.
Loved the isolation. House was clean and accommodations were well maintained. We appreciated the kitchenette and the availability of coffee and tea.

BulgariaBlinds are a kind of transparent so they can’t isolate the sunlight fully
A really nice secluded place. If one needs peace and quiet,that’s the right location. It has one bedroom,so definitely it’s challenging for more than two people. The hot tub is a great addition

GermanySome doors didnt close well. Some irritation to find the right house - despite signs. Noise from a water pipe directing roof water against a wall during a rainy night. But all not a big issue. It is really nice! Absolutely recommend it.
Very good. Very friendly family. One of our favorite stays. Beautiful rich nature. Well equiped home. 6 beds (2 of them upstairs in open area) Pool ready for watching auroras in the dark.

We had an amazing stay here at Eldhraun Holiday home. The cabin was clean, very cosy and had everything one could need while staying there. Linda is an amazing host and very easy to communicate. Breakfast was delicious and hot tub was a perfect way to relax after a long day. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Iceland.

The property was nice and clean to a high standard and had everything promised. The hosts were so kind to leave the hot tub in a ready state on our arrival which was the prefect end of our busy day. The location was nice and secluded, exactly as we expected and offered us much needed quiet relaxing time. Highly recommend it and will definitely book it again!

SpainIt is a little bit pricey for two people, but then again Iceland is and you totally get your money's worth. We also booked like two weeks in advance, so maybe that also played a role...
I liked this little house very much! You could see that the owners think of every detail and for them it's important, that the people feel comfortable. They also provide a lot of information to get to the place and about the appliances of the apartment and activities in the area. You have everything you need and more. House number 1 was extremly cozy, there were even candles. In this place you have a lot of privacy, the house and jacuzzi views are really amazing. The jacuzzi is set to 40 degrees Celsius, which is really good, because it was quite cold outside and otherwise it would be difficult to enjoy it. I would definitely come here again every time. Thank you!! 😀
