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...).

NetherlandsThe floors were not as clean as I would’ve liked; we walked without our shoes but it actually was not clean enough to do so. There is no ventilation while cooking and opening up a window was too cold, so the place and our clothes smelled like the food. We tried to use the oven but it smelled very burned so we quickly turned it off again 😅
The location is beautiful, calm and it’s a cute house. There are enough amenities to make a simple meal and the bathroom is spacious. We watched a movie and had a nice time. The hosts respond fast and are there to help.

United StatesThe location is NOT in Hvolsvõllur, as advertised - it's actually 45 km from Hvolsvöllur and 35 km from Vík. There are no restaurants or grocery stores close by, so if you want to eat, make sure to get meals or groceries in one of the two towns. We ended up having to drive back to Vík for dinner at the end of a long travel day, which we didn't expect.
Apartment was very clean and comfortable, very roomy for two single people. It might have been cramped for 4 adults: there is one double bed, one single bed, and a pullout couch, all in the same room with the kitchen, etc. Nice to have kitchen facilities, and there was coffee available for the morning. The two dogs were very friendly - so nice for this traveler who was missing her dog at home! Location is beautiful, in a lovely, quiet, peaceful rural setting.

United StatesFantastic place to stay out of the crowds on the south coast. While Höfn and Vik can be overrun, Hvolsvöllur is just out of the way enough to be pleasant. The cats and dogs are friendly and the apartment is very comfortable and quiet. We’d definitely stay here again! The local advice from the owners was very helpful.

IrelandIt's a single room with attached bathroom, not attached bedroom. Internet is a bit intermittent and not reliable.
The apartment is in a nice rural location, close to several attractions. The room is warm and well appointed with a large bathroom. Cooking facilities are more than adequate.

United StatesThe gravel road to get here can be a little rough in a small rental car, but it's okay so long as you go slowly. Some of the bulbs in the bedside lamps didn't work.
This was one of our favorite places to stay as we travelled between Stykkisholmur and Vik. Having our own bathroom and kitchen was absolutely worth the price. Check in was easy, beds were comfortable, shower was hot, kitchen was very easy to use, and the whole room felt inviting and comfortable (it was rainy during our stay). We learned that paying a little more for a room with a kitchen and purchasing groceries is less expensive and healthier than going out for every meal. The host was always responsive and there was a nice farm dog who said hello and supervised us as we checked out.
