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 reviewThe property is in a nice location with the view of the mountains on one side and the bay on the other. Offered a decent breakfast. Staff was nice.
Its an old property and it smells musty. The 2nd floor of the building, which is an attic, turned into rooms so the ceiling is slanting down in a steep angle. Makes half the room space unusable. Those rooms also have these slanted windows that doesn’t open so no fresh air either. It’s extremely claustrophobic. Beds and pillows were also not comfortable.

Verified reviewBeautiful, well-equipped bungalow with a comfortable bed, nice sitting area, and great location. The bungalows are near a small beach and just a short drive from downtown Borgarnes. We enjoyed our stay.
Nothing comes to mind--everything was fine during our stay.

Verified reviewStaff were very approachable and helpful. Access to the main building for dining, TV was appreciated. The ability to use the sauna and hot tub was great.
Location was outside of the community along a busy highway making it necessary to drive into town if you needed anything.

Verified reviewThe location is good. Close to the city. The bed is comfortable. Instant coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are free, as is water. Sauna, hot tub and relaxation room. There is a lot of space in the room, even though mine was under the sloping roof.
Spartan room furnishings. The tap water comes from a spring and is not drinkable. The shower water smells strongly of rotten eggs.
Hi, The tap (cold) water is drinkable. Icelanders do, however, not drink the geothermal water :) Thank you for the feedback.

Verified reviewThe location was lovely, amazing view of the fjord and hills. We had just about everything we needed and the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was really clean.
It would have been good to have a couple of chairs for the veranda so we could sit outside and take in the view. Also a blind on the main door would have been welcome!

Verified reviewThe breakfast was fantastic.
The room was like an attic room & provided minimal amenities. We kept hitting our head on the ceiling. It needs a table in the bathroom or even some hooks to make it more user friendly.

Verified reviewCabin was clean, bedding was comfortable, and mini kitchen was convenient. Access to the hot tub was a nice plus, and the location is well off the road so it is very quiet. I recommend you ask for a cabin with a water view. Breakfast was really excellent (many choices, all good). We would recommend this to others. Price was good for the area and location was a 5 minute drive from Borgarnes.
All good!

Verified reviewWe stayed in one of the bungalows near the sea. The place is a bit dated, but it’s still very comfortable, spacious, and has everything you need. The views of the mountains were beautiful, and there’s a hot tub available for guests, which was a nice bonus. The location is convenient — close to the city with easy access to gas stations and supermarkets. A great spot to relax and explore the area.

Verified reviewLovely and calm scenery. We did love our two chalets, the jacuzzi and the very good beakfast. Check-in and check-out was uncomplicated which is good if you tour Iceland and change your accommodation almost every night. Close to Borganes with many restaurants for Dinner.
