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 rooms were ok.
The shared kitchen was a bit sad and lacking basic things like salt.

Verified reviewI didn't receive a message about how to check in (get keys, which room, etc.). When I got close and couldn't find it, I messaged the owner, and when I didn't hear back quickly, I called. I was within 30 m of the place, but was directed to look for a campground. There were two campground signs nearby, so I followed both of them, but neither was right. There's a guesthouse right in front (that looks much nicer), and I'd mentioned that I was there, so the directions shouldn't have been so difficult. I had other issues but was too exhausted to want to bother dealing with thee owner again. I just wanted to get some sleep and leave as quickly as possible. This was by far the worst guest house I stayed at in Iceland.

It was dirty. The door had a patch on it where the glass was supposed to be.

Verified reviewThe surrounding area was very nice looking. Also the grey blankets were very soft--I debated taking it with me lol
The room was definitely no frills which I assumed when I booked but there were limited options. The wifi only worked in the communal kitchen. It had been a long day so we decided to literally go to bed within 10 minutes of getting into the room.

Verified reviewQuiet.
The message from the host stated the keys would be in the dining area. It was never stated that there were two dining areas. After searching for five minutes, I called the host to be informed about the second dining area where the keys were located. There is no signage to show what the name of the facility is upon arrival. We were not sure we were at the right place.

Verified reviewLovely location, beautiful and quiet. Beds were comfortable. Room was set up well.
Check in was rough. I hadn’t received self check in instructions and there wasn’t a soul around. It almost seemed abandoned. As another reviewer noted on the same room, the glass in the door was broken and taped, door was hard to open, and dead flies and other bugs inside.
