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...).

GermanyIt would be great to have a possibility of the late check-out (10.00 am). That would be helpful for ferry passengers.
Very clean rooms with all necessary amenities. Accommodations are in bungalows, quite small but sufficient for two persons, including bathroom and coffee maker. The Guesthouse incl. well equipped and spacious kitchenette, laundry room and hot tube. Very unproblematic self check-in. Localized close to beautiful swimming pool in Laugarnes with stunning views over Breiðafjörður.

This is a brand new (well 2 years old) facility. Great location just off the main highway with a view of the water. Full kitchen with all the tools. Nice clean unit with a beautifully appointed bathroom. Access to inside and outside dining areas. Barbecue and a hot tub. Couldn't ask for more.

HungaryThe room is quite small, and there’s not much space for unpacking larger suitcases, which can be inconvenient for longer stays. The bathroom sink is so tiny that it’s practically unusable for washing your face or brushing your teeth, as the toiletry shelf above it prevents you from leaning over. The toilet and bathroom area is separated from the room by a sliding glass door that’s only about 30 cm from one of the beds. The rooms have an electric kettle, which is very useful, but there isn’t one in the shared dining area.
Very quiet and modern accommodation in a peaceful location, with self check-in and check-out and free parking. The kitchen is modern and very well equipped, with a dining terrace and an outdoor hot tub — unfortunately, we didn’t have time to try the latter. There’s also a separate laundry room with a dryer, which can be useful for those who need it, though we didn’t use it ourselves.

United KingdomEverything was great, no complaints at all.
The location, if you are visiting the puffins is perfect, right on the road about 75 mins slow drive on a gravel road from the cliffs - views are stunning, enjoy the journey. The hot tub and ice dip on site were spotless and so welcome after a long drive. The beds are comfy, the room has all it needs, it feels new and super clean. The communal kitchen is brilliantly equipped, as is the laundry. Huge bonus is the pool and hot pot right on the beach opposite - we went for an early swim first thing in the morning - stunning!

Strond Guesthouse was a very pleasant experience, from the size of the room, comfort of beds, laundry and kitchen facilities, and hot tub! We found the guesthouse easily from the road, and had no difficulty using the lock box. We really appreciated the laundry facilities.

Our room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, modern & well maintained. Lovely products with shampoo (& conditioner👌). The housekeeper was lovely & very good at her job, we’re big coffee drinkers & she happily accommodated us. We were never cold thanks to the underfloor heating. Shared kitchen was spotless with everything you would require & a dishwasher for guests. Washing machine & dryer facilities free for guests which was a big bonus for us! We also saw the northern lights right outside our room! Cannot recommend Strönd enough we honestly loved our stay, thank you!!

United StatesInstructions for the use of the dryer would have been very helpful, but otherwise everything was sparkling clean and very comfortable.
The location was beautiful and for our purposes, very convenient to the Breidafjord ferry. There was a geothermally heated pool near the shore, a short distance from the Strönd. We walked down to take a look at the pool but it was extremely windy so we didn't indulge in a swim. The kitchen and laundry facilities were first class. The closest restaurant is at Flokalundur about two km beyond the ferry landing. The restaurant was excellent and the restaurant manager, Janos, was very helpful and pleasant. Free range sheep and waterfalls abound in the area!

AustraliaThe sink in the bathroom was tiny and the shelf in front of the mirror actually made using the sink awkward. We had a room with a view but the windows had solid blinds so if you kept them up there was no privacy from people walking past to the facilities. If you closed them you saw nothing. Venetians would have been better.
Great location, nice and new. Comfortable and cosy with good shower. The self checkin went smoothly once I found the email with the key box code. Coffee maker in room was much appreciated. Wifi was good.
