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...).

United StatesThe shower was nice and big but the stone floor of it was not my favorite choice. A mat was provided to help make it more comfortable which was appreciated.
The Garage is a true gem of a place. Location is fantastic, directly on Ring Road and between numerous points of interest. Would be an excellent home base for seeing basically all of the South coast of Iceland but we unfortunately had just one night here. The property itself is a delight including homey and cozy interior spaces, and beautiful views in basically every direction. The warm welcome from the owner made us feel like we were visiting some of our favorite relatives (if we had any that lived somewhere as fantastic as this!). We had a charming room in the converted cow house, featuring a nice private patio/deck space that faced the sea, a kitchenette, and a nice-sized bathroom. Behind the buildings there is a waterfall under the cliff.

United KingdomThe kitchenette in the room was a bit small and awkward to use but manageable for two nights; can also use the communal kitchen utensils and facilities.
We loved the host and the cake & cookies (freshly baked daily on site by the friendly host, the smell was amazing as we entered the building to check in!), room interior & styling, location with stunning views, very informative booklet written by the host about the history of the place, main attractions & various handy tips, proximity to the famous waterfalls, games and entertainment for children.

Rooms are built in what was previously the garage on the family property. Room is spacious, homely, very well facilitated with a well equipped kitchen. Property is located next to the lake, backed by a mountain. It even has its own waterfall on the property that you can hike up to for a morning walk! There are no supermarkets or convenience shops nearby but the owners would have informed, so always check-in ready with food. The owners also have 2 Shollies (I think they are Shollies) who will accompany you and keep you entertained. One even followed us when we went for the walk up to the waterfall in the backyard.

SpainThe accommodation was a good size with a well equipped private kitchen plus a communal kitchen and seating area if required. The accommodation had a friendly laid back atmosphere and the owner cooked cakes and biscuits for everyone to share during their stay. There was electric charging available and also a hot tub outside which was a relaxing bonus. The Garage will definitely be on our list for future visits.

We stayed one night at The Garage during our honeymoon roadtrip in Iceland and absolutely fell in love with this place! We wish we would have stayed longer. We have travalled a lot over the world but this place was special: so warm and cozy - felt like home away from home. We had studio apartment which was beautifully decorated and we also loved the private terrace with view to the beach. Location next to the mountains and waterfall is just amazing! We also loved sheep, two dogs, elf homes and hot tube (that was perfect relaxation after the long drive). Hosts were amazing too - Anna had baked some sweets which we guests were welcome to enjoy, they were so good!

SloveniaAn extraordinary location with a waterfall just behind the location. Beautiful studio apartment, spacious, super clean and comfortable. Kitchenette perfect for preparing food, beds comfortable. The host was amazingly kind - we were coming late and she was kind enough to stay up late for us. There was even cake she prepared and we were more than happy to dig in. Don't forget the hot tubs.
