How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewCoffee machine, bathroom with a conditioner and a super comfortable bed
The bedroom window curtains were sheer instead of solid so compromised the privacy a little but really that’s me nitpicking

Verified reviewThe house was beautifully furnished and decorated. We had plenty of room for all of us and the host even came over to welcome us and answer questions. Also - there were horses in a pasture just next door, which was a real bonus for us animal lovers.
There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

Verified reviewThe studio apartment has everything one could need, including a comfortable sofa if you want to relax a bit. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was very clean and well maintained. Elin was a great host and always answered very quickly. She even had a little booklet with lots of useful information about the area and some lesser known sights. I would definitely recommend to stay here for a few days if you want to explore the southeast as the studio is close to a lot of sights.

Verified reviewThis place absolutely exceeded my expectations. It's the most thoughtfully and carefully designed place I've stayed in during my many travels. The mattresses are the best I've slept on. The attention to detail and design is impeccable, so many useful kitchen tools, plus little gems of wonder, like the awesome coffee machine, cute world map or the super extensive guide book. Thank you so much, i hope to return later this year while visiting Vestrahorn.

Verified reviewWe had an amazing apartment style room to ourselves. The beds were very comfortable and it was very easy to park. The kitchen had everything we might need. We appreciated that the freezer came with ice in it. Everything was very clean and we had a pleasant and relaxing stay.
Just be careful in the bathroom as it was very slippery

Verified reviewWe loved our stay here. Haukaberg House really felt like a home from home compared to everywhere else we stayed in Iceland. We were travelling with a 9 month old and arrived to find some lovely little extras which were really handy- highchair, changing mat and towel. The kitchen facilities were great and the house felt really cosy. We ate in Hofn one night based on the recommendations given which was really tasty. Location is just outside of Hofn but there are beautiful views from the accommodation.
Room was really hot at night and we couldn't work out how to switch it down- the only downside!
