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 reviewLocation is ok
The staff is not friendly. Even I paid and confirmed via email for 3 beds. She insisted I only put two people when I booked the room and asked to pay for one additional people. Also sharing the small restroom is very inconvenient. Definitely not recommended to anyone, but in general there’s no much choices for hotels in that area.

Verified reviewClean. Well thought out design. Showers and WC were acceptable
The rooms were very stuffy. The window only opened a few milimeters and there was no fan or other ventilation.

Verified reviewComfortable, good sized room, shared kitchen was great for cooking basic meals, quiet farm area, easy checkin.
Midgies were a bit annoying, but only on one night, but the host made sure we were aware and how to keep them out. Didn't detract from an enjoyable stay.

Verified reviewPics are no longer up to date, there is another chalet next to the small house. The small house was shared among three couples with a shared small kitchen. The house is relatively new.
The three bedrooms are very close together and one can hear one another. In the kitchen one also has to be very quiet not to wake up or bother the guests in the other two bedrooms. Not ideal to be that close with people you do not know., a bit like in a hostel. When we came back the second day, other guests had dumped all their luggage on the kitchen table and blocked the way to our room with their stuff as well. They seemed to think that was normal but it was a weird, intrusive situation to us. There is no caretaker in the small house, the owner lives in another house, hence, the guests make the rules. There were also quite some dead insects in the bedroom on arrival and the bathroom curtain moulded. The small house that is shared is next to a chalet with another couple of guests and a messy yard of the owners/caretakers. Considering the nearly 220 euro per night, a slightly better quality and privacy was expected.

Verified reviewWe stayed at Dilksnes Guesthouse for two nights and had a great experience. The place is super close to Hofn. The building itself is peaceful and quiet, which made for a very relaxing stay. The owner was very responsive and quick to reply to our messages, which we really appreciated. The room was clean, cozy and the suite was well-organized, and had everything we needed. Overall, we really enjoyed our time at Dilkins and felt right at home at this place. Would definitely recommend it!

Verified reviewUpon arrival, I was warmly greeted by Pluto. Communication and checking in were seamless. The kitchen and common area are big. The kitchen is stocked w/cooking amenities along with info on places to see/go/eat in Hofn. The bathroom is spacious. The room was more than enough space for my friend and I. The room and facility are very clean. Without hesitation, I would stay here again.
I wish I had booked 2 days here instead of one.
