Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaThe rooms were tiny, no space even for a bag to fit. We had packed small backpacks for the night, which was good since there was barely room for that. The radiators had some issues, which the staff apologized for but since it was Christmas there was nothing we really could do.
Very remote if you're looking to get away from everything! We enjoyed the restaurant and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The teas, coffee, and hot chocolate were perfect on such a cold night.

AustraliaWe stayed in the single cottages and the rooms were on the smaller side so if you have a lot of luggage etc it can get a bit pokey if you were staying there long term. The front entrance of the cottages does get a bit icey and slippery in winter so be careful with stepping out
It was warm and cosy and the staff were lovely. No frills but has everything you need. We travelled in winter and there was more than adequate heating and doonas etc. the central main house area is great. Has a restaurant a bar and a games area for pool etc or if you want to read. We came late but the chef made some delicious mushroom soup just for us for dinner. We really enjoyed our stay

United States of AmericaIt was a little frustrating that the room wasn’t ready at check-in time but we went out and explored. Also it was a little funny that there was only a tub available instead of a shower but I was happy to have a private bathroom. Be forewarned the walls are super thin.
We liked the location and the view. It was nice they provided us with earplugs, slippers and eye masks

United KingdomIt was great.
Great location, very clean, excellent social area, inside was hotter than we ever imagined, great bathroom. Stayed in three different hotels during our trip to Iceland. This was the fist also cheapest. It set the bar really high. Oh yeah and it was really quiet as well.

CanadaThe staff at check in were not very specific in the exact location of the house the only downside is it’s not near the restaurant and main area.
The guesthouse was huge with a large common area and kitchen. The long dining table was perfect for our group to gather around. The bedrooms had amble space and very comfortable beds. We wish we could have stayed longer. It was a short 10 mins to Selfoss for dinner. Only thing that was missing was the Northern Lights!!

United KingdomThe room was very small with no real storage space so my case took up valuable floor space for 7 nights. The bathroom consisted of a tin shower although the shower itself was great it wasn't the cleanest. However on a positive note it looks as if they are in the process of refurbishment (pictures showed something different)
The location was beautiful and we were very fortunate to see the Northern lights there. We paid a very good price for 7 nights so I am loathed to be too negative but as my title suggests whilst I might return it would be one night only. The staff were all very friendly and the bins emptied daily with fresh towels We found the bed to be comfortable too. Free tea and coffee is available but only in the common area so if you leave before 7.30 am you can't access this facility but otherwise it works ok.
