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 reviewYou get a free standing cabin with all the amenities including a kitchen with expansive views. The owner was very diligent in correspondence. It is very convenient for a Heimey Island visit.
It is a bit far from restaurants and food shops. Price was a bit high for a rustic cabin.

Verified reviewThe only property we stayed two nights in. Breathtaking settings, mountains to one side and plains on the other. The family looking after the property were super helpful and even came to assist me in the late hours of the evening.

Verified reviewThe cabins are absolutely lovely. Situated with a view onto the mountains and glacier. Super handy just off the ring road and perfect for stop offs or a few days. I would have a stayed a couple more days and enjoyed the bbq if weather had permitted.
Just an issue with the door locking, but the host was super efficient and came to sort it immediately.

Verified reviewThe cottage turned out to be even more perfect and beautiful than we anticipated! Clean, comfortable, spacious… We absolutely loved this stay and I wished we had more time to spend there. Don’t hesitate to book! When we realized upon arrival that there were two twin beds rather than one full bed (totally our own oversight, not the host’s fault) they sent someone over right away to change it for us. Top-tier service. Easy self check-in and out. They also have conveniently posted small signs on the road to help you find the cottages. I highly recommend visiting Vestmannaeyjar (the Westman Islands) while you are in the area!
The only thing I disliked was having to leave for the airport!

Verified reviewBrú Guesthouse was my favorite accommodation of the trip! With our views of Seljalandsfoss waterfall in the distance, glaciers, the Westman Islands and a volcanic crater, it’s a peaceful retreat! The guesthouse was comfortable, clean, and well equipped! I loved this place!
About the only thing I could say, was that it could use 2 pillows per person instead of one.

Door required some muscle to lock, but once you figure that out, wasnt bad.

Verified reviewThis place was absoultely fantastic! The bath robes were a nice touch. Having a/c in the facility (only place we got this so far I have seen in iceland) was much appreciated in july as bugs are around n windows need closing. The view (when fog wasnt an issue) was phenomenal and the kitchen was properly stocked. We went in july, but this would ne a great place to view northern lights if there in that season

Verified reviewWe loved the location. Amazing views! Very close to major attractions Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss Waterfall. Loved that the keys were kept in a lock box so we did not feel rushed to check in.
NA, it was amazing!
