Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaNothing negative to say, this place was great!! Just a small recommendation for the owners. It would have been really nice to have access to a 2nd set of towels. Between showering and the hot tub, the one set we were provided with was always wet.
The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The location was quiet and peaceful. We loved the natural spring fed hot tub - it was so relaxing after a day of site seeing! Also it was fun to be able to visit and interact with the nearby horses.

GermanyAn absolute highlight on our 2-week Iceland trip. The place is spacious and very clean, extremely comfortable and well equipped. Spent most spare time in the perfectly temperate hot tub soaking in the midnight sun and the peace this place has. Communication was very proactive and friendly, 10/10, would love to move in right away ;)

United StatesNice, quiet and private row of cabins with a beautiful view of the Icelandic countryside. A big bonus is the geothermal hot pot on the deck— hot water automatically cycles through, keeping it the perfect temperature with no chemicals. This is a big reason why we booked and it was amazing! We will definitely return!

United StatesWe absolutely loved our 4-day stay at Eyvik Cottages in May 2025! The location was perfect—peaceful and secluded, yet still very convenient for exploring the Golden Circle. It felt like our own little slice of Icelandic countryside, with stunning views all around! The cottage itself was cozy and well-equipped, made it easy to cook meals and relax after a day of adventuring. We thoroughly enjoyed the private hot tub, outdoor grill and spacious deck—the perfect place to unwind and take in the beautiful scenery. If you're looking for a quiet retreat that still keeps you close to Iceland’s top sights, this is it. Highly recommend!

United KingdomVery clean and comfortable accommodation, perfect for the 2 of us. In a beautiful rural location, with amazing views, it was an excellent base for exploring. we were within 45 minutes from Gulfoss and Geysir, and the same from Reykjavik. Just 1 hour 40 by car to Skogafoss and Seljandsfoss too. The directions to the cottage and information provided by the owners was great, and very helpful. There is a good sized fridge, oven and dishwasher in the property if you want to self cater, however there is an excellent restaurant less than 10 minutes away (Minniborgir) that we can highly recommend. We were lucky enough to see Northern lights from the cottage one night and the hot tub was lovely to enjoy under the stars. We wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay again. Thank you!

United KingdomThere was nothing at all that we didn´t like! I would struggle to think of anything that could be improved on. The only possible issue anyone could have I suppose is that the decking around the hot tub becomes very slippery indeed in sub-zero temperatures but I am not sure that anything can be done about that and we were prepared so wore grippy rubber soled water shoes which helped.
The location was lovely, quiet and secluded which was just what we wanted. The cabin feels new and is beautifully finished and very comfortable and stylish. Love the hot tub which was easy to use and had hot water at all times. The check in instructions and house information that was sent was by far the best we have had so far in our stays away in Iceland. Very comprehensive instructions and the hosts, Smári and Íris, are super-responsive and helpful. The stay couldn´t have been better.

United StatesThe cabin was perfect, couldn't have asked for anything more. The host was responsive, the cabin was immaculate (the cleanest place outside of my home I've ever stayed), everything was modern and new. And the location was exactly what we needed to view the northern lights, as it's in the middle of a farm, removed from everything. But yet, close by car within 20 minutes of town.
