Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

FinlandI had reserved a twin room (and understood it was with two beds) but when we arrived it was a bunk bed. It was metal IKEA bed, and the mattresses weren't good, we both woke up our back hurting. The mattresses also made noise when turning. The room was very small, with no other furniture than a small dresser, not even a chair because that wouldn't have fit in it. The price of the room (117€) was quite high for that kind of a box.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The bathrooms were clean and newly renovated as well as the common area and the room. The kitchen was well equipped and coffee and tea were included. Sheet were comfortable and very clean.

UkraineWe had a quad room (we were 2 adults and two adult children), and the room was very spacious with great views across the plain to the sea. The kitchen/living room has everything you need - oven, kettle, microwave, dishwasher, etc. The location is secluded and quiet but perfect for glacier/waterfall tours.

United KingdomThere was no freezer nor a hairdryer. I couldn't find any baking trays either. Would be handy to keep sanitiser spray in showerrooms so I could clean before and after use.
Loved this guesthouse. One of the best to stay in when in Iceland. It's cosy, clean, and in a beautiful location. Underfloor heating was bliss .

United StatesTruthfully, I only booked accommodation in Steinar because most properties in Vik had already been booked; those that remained were too expensive. If possible, I’d suggest booking in advance for Vik. Although kind at check-in, the staff forgot to collect my payment and were a bit difficult to communicate with after we checked into our rooms. I sent a message via Booking asking for more toilet paper after some of the guests seem to have taken some with them upon check out. I received an (automated?) message stating, “In this society, all garbage is sorted, if not the garbage trucks do not take the garbage.” I asked again and received the same message. After we checked out and were already on the road, I received a reply from a staff member saying that the toilet paper had already been refilled. I would have been better off stopping in to ask the staff in person at their restaurant across the street. Unfortunately, we were out both days until late at night and they were closed by the time we returned in the evenings. The bunk beds were also squeaky. We didn't spend any more time than necessary at this particular guesthouse.
South Iceland Guesthouse is located just off the main road Route 1 near Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss. The restaurant across the street had a great selection for lunches and dinners. Parking was free and easy to find.

GermanyThe rooms, unlike the common areas, are very simple. The bathroom does not offer any amenities like shampoo or soap.
The property is located along the southern route and easy to find. Its proximity to both Reykjavik and Vik make it ideal for a trip down south. The bathrooms and common areas, like the kitchen and the living room, are very comfortable and modern. There was tea and coffee available.

CanadaI was pretty happy with our stay here, but if there was one thing, it was that the shower I used did not drain properly, however this has probably been dealt with.
We enjoyed a comfortable stay in a very large and spacious room. There was a well-equipped kitchen with dining area and living area. There were also three (or four?) bathrooms, which was great.
