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...).

AustraliaAccess via a gravel road after dark. The dinner was enjoyable but is dependent on the guests who participate (or don’t participate).
Rooms were quiet and ok size. Liked the idea of sitting with other guests for dinner. Potential to see Northern lights as it is well off the main road

The property looks wonderful- a home away from home. The house was warm and very clean. It had all amenities including a kettle for tea. The bed and pillow were comfortable. Great breakfast with homemade products. The WiFi connection worked very well. The road to the Guesthouse is a gravel one but should not be a problem for the rented cars.

United StatesThere was nothing we didn't like: the location, guest rooms, and meals were all wonderful.
We had an excellent dinner cooked by the proprietor, Hadda, and breakfast the following morning was wonderful as well. We enjoyed meeting the other guests, and hearing from Harkur, the other proprietor, about the history of the location. The guest room was very quiet, although attached to other rooms on both sides and below, because of the concrete construction. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom spacious, with loads of hot water and water pressure. The view from the room was spectacular.

United StatesNot many windows in my room #7, just the front door and a window looking at the dirt hill. I think other rooms had a really lovely view though.
Loved the homemade breakfast and dinner! We loved gathering with the other visitors to get to know them. Wonderful food and environment! Beautiful area with a lovely view of the glacier on a clear day. The geology in the area (mossy lava field) are really interesting.

United StatesYou do have to drive down a gravel road to get here so make sure to rent an AWD vehicle with good clearance.
I highly recommend having dinner there! The food was amazing and it was fun to chat with fellow travelers at the communal dinner table.

ItalyWe had a lovely dinner the night we stayed there and have the opportunity to sit at a big table with other guests it was a great moment to exchange stories. However, we expected more from the dinner. We had a lovely meat soup and there was option for a vegetarian soup (cauliflower). The rest of the meal was a buffet but it lacked explanation from the hosts. The soup was worth it and the highlight of the meal.
We loved the location. The cottage was cozy and comfortable.

United StatesTowels were a bit coarse.
The location is remote, but beautiful! There is a view of the glacier from the property! It is within a moderate drive to many of Southern Icelands best sites! The dinners are served family style and are delicious and hearty. There were not many lights around and we were blessed with clear skies and northern lights!

United StatesThis place is a gem. The owner is just so friendly, the dinner and breakfast were fantastic, and you get greeted by a very happy dog when you arrive. The common area has nice seating and is filled with beautiful photographs, old cameras, old sound equipment - it's just a neat neat place to stay. We had a shared bathroom - only two rooms share the bathroom and there is access to an "emergency" bathroom if someone is taking a shower and you need to go.....

We arrived very late and our hosts kindly gave us much needed food. We stayed for only one night on our road trip but had a very comfortable stay. The breakfast was excellent and the whole place had a warm and cosy feel.

United StatesIt was perfect. No complaints at all.
We had the most incredible stay. Everything was perfect from the rooms to the beautiful dining area to their wonderful dog, Garpur. Hadda is so welcoming and friendly, she even gave us great tips on what to do the next day! The rooms are extremely clean and have very up-to-date, electronics, furnishings, and decorations. We were very warm with the provided furnace. The view is breathtaking. We especially loved the shower with the river rock tile. Our breakfast was absolutely delicious with homemade bread and fresh homemade blueberry jam. Sadly, we did not have enough time to get there for dinner as we had plans on the other side of town and we are so sad we missed out because it looks absolutely incredible. Hadda is a true chef. We have talked about returning to Iceland just to stay at this hotel and try the dinner and stay a bit longer. The scenery is just gorgeous. It is only about an eight minute drive off of the highway to get there.
