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 reviewFlateyri Guesthouse is a modern home in an old Icelandic house, beautifully appointed, with very comfortable beds, a great kitchen, and cozy living areas upstairs and down. There are many excellent books and games, hard to put down! Stephanie, our host, made us feel at home. We had a great time!

Verified reviewOur room had a great view over the mountains. There were power outlets and a little shelf right above the bed, so very convenient. The kitchen was equipped with everything you might need along with tea and coffee.
The walls between the rooms are pretty thin, we could hear everything the couple in the other room was talking about. The only thing that might have made our stay better would be being able to check out a bit later like 11am instead of 10am as it was in most guesthouses we stayed at.

Verified reviewIt was very clean. The mattress was quite comfortable. Access to the kitchen and the living room were much appreciated.
There was no breakfast. I could not open a link in an email sent to me prior to arrival. I wrote an email upon arrival to the woman in charge asking about breakfast. The answer to the question probably was in the link that was inaccessible. The email was never answered. They drain for the shower did not work appropriately.
Dear Rebecca, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I was sorry to learn about your concerns only after your departure, especially since I had the opportunity to meet you during your stay. I always encourage my guests to communicate any issues directly with me so I can address them promptly and ensure a comfortable experience. It is regrettable that you chose not to raise your concerns with me at the time, as I would have been happy to assist. I appreciate your comments and will continue working to improve my services. Best regards

Verified reviewThe owner of the house is just a funny, nice woman.
The house is old and has an unpleasant permanent smell. The bed sheets were never ironed. The environment is just nusty and gloomy, the only pleasant thing is the funny, nice franch woman.

Verified reviewVery nice and private
We had a very hard time finding the property, were exhausted from traveling and had a problem with communication with the host and the lock box, extremely windy and cold, but finally got it working.
Thanks for having let a review. Unfortunately it’s not my property, Flateyri guesthouse is located in the village of Flateyri , Westfjords.

Verified reviewLoved the fact that we were able to see the Northern Lights from our room. The hostess was incredibly accommodating and went out of her way to reassure us when we expected to arrive fairly late in the evening.

Verified reviewA place with style and a well filled library - much like the village of Flateyri it was super comfortable, interesting and the perfect place to stop. The beds were great and together with a hot bath gave us a fab night's sleep. Well equipped kitchen, sitting room to relax in. Bliss! But above all a friendly host who has really thought about what travellers need. Our best indoors place to stay in Iceland. Thank you!!
