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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United KingdomCurtains were no good for darkening the room. The (tiny) bathroom was a bit shabby. Old looking wooden steps leading to the front door of the guesthouse. I think the price is a bit high for a room that size, but I only stayed for 1 night. I would recommend for a short stay.
Good location. Easy to book. Quite pleasant, basic accommodation. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast is included - it was good quality food and quite varied. I was pleased that soya milk was provided. Fine for a night or two.

TaiwanThe guesthouse which I expect to be simple, but this one is almost like a hostel with no amenity, only the towel, which is why the cost is much cheaper than the hotel. The building is not very sound-proof, so I can hear some machine running or door banging in the middle of the night.
The location is great, right in the center and close to everything. The breakfast selection is small, but covered the basic.

NorwayThe hotel was in a fantastic location, making it really convenient to explore the area. The breakfast was perfectly fine – simple but satisfying. I was happy with it. The service was excellent, and the room was clean, comfortable, and met all my expectations. Honestly, the experience was even better than I had anticipated, especially considering some of the reviews I had read beforehand. I’m really glad I chose this place and would absolutely recommend it to others!

NetherlandsDouble room itself was very small for two people with luggage. Fine in itself for one night and for what it is, but overall, very expensive for a very small double room. Accommodations in general in the city center were quite expensive.
Staff were nice and friendly, breakfast was good, overall location was good not too far from the ferry. Our room was next to the delivery area of the grocery store next door; truck deliveries started very early morning. Room was clean and clean fluffy towels were provided.

United StatesThe staircase in the back was steep/rickety. The kitchen was pretty lackluster (needs a little sprucing, flowers?!). The room, spartan (could use some Faroese art/textiles???)
The breakfast buffet was yummy and nice ambience. Location was so central - everything was walking distance (except the National Museum, but that’s a free bus ride!)

GermanyThe room itself is very basic furnitured, looks like a hostel, no furniture ( warderobe for clothes or at least a bedside), extremely strong mold smell, breakfast decent but all products mixed on the same plate for self serving( see foto). When you have a shower the bathroom seems like a pool due to the poor quality curtains. Very noisy as it is a old wooded building. I am not sure what happened when we booked, we started from the 62an hotel but somehow redirected to the guesthouse. Conclusion Guesthouse =hostel but for the money paid i would say too expensive.
Central location, free parking spot after 18:00 o 'clock, the heating properly worked. Supermarket right across the place

AustraliaI am not a fan of shower curtains.
A lovely guesthouse with a hostel feel. Communication was easy and responsive and check in was a breeze. The room was good, with a lovely large opening window. The bathroom was small but fine. Breakfast was simple but adequate. We managed to find parking on the street right outside, but it is time limited during the main part of the day. There is a supermarket next door - very convenient.

GreeceNothing in particular, just the fact that for this price I would have a deluxe room in, for example, Germany or Sweden, but I understand that prices are different in the Faroe islands :) Not a place you visit every day!
The room is quite basic, but it is spacious, comfortable and in a very good location. I appreciated the communication with the reception before I arrived because I would have a late check-in and at that time the reception would be closed. But no problem, everything worked well. The breakfast (at the hotel with the same name) is quite good too.

AustraliaWe actually upgraded to the hotel and regretted it. The upgradr cost of the small hotel room was excessive. The room was incredibly hot and we couldn't turn the heater down so were told to open the window which was a waste of energy. The guest house itself is pretty run down and there are really steep steps to the second floor which makes it tricky to carry heavy luggage- hence the upgrade.
Excellent location and nice staff

BelgiumUnfortunately the room was unimpressive and the bathroom was particularly disappointing. If you do not mind walking a bit, I would consider something outside the center. If you have a car I would even consider not staying in the capital at all. There are much better deals elsewhere in the country and Tórshavn is small enough to not necessarily warrant an overnight stay.
It is one of the cheaper options in the city center that does not involve a shared bathroom. The bed was comfortable, the place was clean, and it was nice to have a shared kitchen. The staff were friendly too and the breakfast room was a lovely place to start the day.

The accommodation is in the central location of the city, the city center is a 2-minute walk away.

Parking in front of the hotel is free between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m., at other times it is also free in the harbor (300 m) during the day.
