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 with the view on Eyafjallaökull, breakfast included.
Expensive (because of location), but it is not worth it. Very noisy rooms, we were near the exit and have listened clapping door for the whole night. And at the morning the cleaning staff started to come from 8 a.m without knocking (we even haven't visited the breakfast yet) and asking if the room ready for checkout (and they come like this 3 times despite the fact we additionally cleared that checkout at 11 ).

Verified reviewI wanted someplace near Vik and this was the most reasonably priced option, even though it was still an hour away. The room was comfortable and the twin beds can be separated for some space. Ample parking and breakfast was good. Also appreciated that the check-out times were later than at most places. It’s in a really pretty area and I could see how they host weddings there.
I don’t think anything could’ve been done but there was a fly in our room when we arrived. The shower was also laid out poorly so if you adjust the shower head, you pretty much run the risk of soaking the entire bathroom as there’s no shower door and the drain is right under the head instead of in the back.

Verified reviewThe convenience and onsite breakfast. They also had a smart tv.
The shower head did not work, it was half clogged. The toilet seat was loose. The towels were really small and rough. The worse was a fly that refused to go away making the overall stay not comfortable.

Verified reviewAt first glance, this place doesn't stand out or look like anything fancy, but it ended up being one of the favorite places we stayed. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but the property itself is amazing. There are ponds and they rent fishing rods which my son loved. There are plenty of places to walk and explore and you'll run into some friendly sheep along the way. The restaurant was good... we enjoyed dinner more than breakfast, but overall it exceeded expectations. Everyone was so nice and accommodating.
We didn't enjoy the breakfast here as much as we did at other places we stayed.

Verified reviewThe hotel is in a very good location for access the golden circle area, the south coast (including Westman island), and the Thorsmork area. The room was clean and comfortable, I would stay here again. The free breakfast is excellent.
The walls are quite thin so make sure you bring earplugs for birds and other guests if you want to sleep in late.
