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.).

CanadaNo instructions where to park if lot was full.
Nice area to stop over night while driving the ring road. A couple great casual fish and chip places hit the spot after a long day. Room was spacious and clean. Beds very comfortable. Large bathroom. The cereal/milk/juice/coffee was a treat and not offered at most places we stayed. Large fridge in the kitchen where guests labeled small items with their name if they choose. Parking was full when we arrived so we parked across the street. Not sure if that was allowed but the car was still there in the morning..I thought this place was way too expensive when we booked, however now having almost completed the whole ring road, you get what you pay for.

Czech RepublicIt is very nice guesthouse in the old pharmacy. It is very nice with welcoming owners. We had it booked only for two people, because bigger room wasn’t available. When we asked the owners, if it is possible to stay here in three and they have prepared for us one more bed, that was perfect. It was really clean with amazing well equipped kitchen.

United StatesHonestly, I can't think of anything! Our stay was really wonderful.
This charming guesthouse is so comfortable and clean. It's got nice bathrooms, comfy beds and linens, and the eating area/kitchen is well equipped. The breakfast is great, with many options! It's perfectly situated in the tiny town of Höfn, with stellar glacier views close by. The staff is friendly and gave us a warm greeting. We've been here before and it was great to be back... we'll be back again!

United StatesAs an American traveler, I’m used to a certain level of comfort, and while I did have a private bathroom, other aspects like room size and overall amenities were more modest than what I’m used to. That said, this is typical for the region. If you expect luxury or lots of personal space, reset your expectations and embrace the experience. It’s part of the charm of traveling in this part of the world.
The location was perfect, right in the heart of Höfn, with easy access to restaurants, the harbor, and local attractions. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the entire property was clean and well maintained.

CanadaI went on Booking.com the day we were arriving (July 5) and found the same room for $176 CAD less than what I paid when I made my reservation in early February. I messaged the guesthouse to ask why and the response I received hours later was that it was a Booking.com error. Funny, I didn't have a problem on any other Booking.com reservations in Iceland.
Our room was spotless and comfortable with a private bathroom. The room was not huge but we were not expecting it to be. The shared areas are very nice, there's board games and a small breakfast (yogurt, cereal, tea and coffee). The location is great and everything was very clean and tidy.

United StatesFire alarm went off in the middle of the night and owners had to be called to come to the property to shutoff. Maybe caused by a short power outage? Unfortunate, but I can report they have a really nice fire alarm system. They did knock on everyone’s door and checked on them. It wouldn’t stop me from staying there again as they were nice people .
No surprises. Good value for the money. Cleaning comfortable room.

Very clean kitchen, dining area, reception area, the room/bathroom. Convenient location to the stores and restaurants, and it was nice to have a small patio for us to get some fresh air while staying at the guesthouse.
