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):
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.
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.).

ItalyWe spent three nights at the guesthouse on this family-run farm and felt very comfortable. Our room was spacious, with a comfortable bed, a very large bathroom, and a beautiful view. The breakfast was special, as was the kindness and hospitality of the host.

United StatesThe only downside was the lack of screens on the windows and doors, which is common in Iceland. We wanted to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful breeze, but we hesitated to open the windows for fear of letting flies in. But this is a minor nit.
I loved the warm and welcoming hosts, the breathtaking views, and the property's charm. It felt like a truly unique Icelandic experience, peaceful, authentic, and full of character.

PolandOutstanding location! The studio we booked was the coziest place we've seen in Iceland. The owners have incredible taste. Also, freshly baked Icelandian bread is served for breakfast! I don't believe you can find something better. If you like dogs, there are 3 :)

ItalyNothing to report.
Check-in is done in person, you just have to call and let it know you arrived. A beautiful apartment awaits us, divided into a large single room with a small kitchen and a bathroom on the ground floor and a separate large bedroom with its own toilet on the first floor. The upper room has three individual sleeping cabins with individual curtains - very romantic and intimate. The mini kitchen is of course much too small for our family of five, so the landlady offered us the use of her professional kitchen to prepare dinner at reception. We would especially like to thank the landlady for the lovely birthday present for our daughter!

NetherlandsDon't take that as a complaint because like I said I do enjoy my stay but if there is one thing which can be improved (maybe) it's the size of the shower in the cabin. Thats just a bit small. Off course, I am rather tall but I can't really wash my hair in that shower.
I am a returning visitor in Grasteinn Guesthouse, I enjoyed it 2 years ago.. I enjoyed it now so I knew what to expect. If I ever go to the same region in Iceland I will stay in Grasteinn Guesthouse.

United KingdomWe loved every minute.
A wonderful place to stay. Hildur & Siggi are fantastic hosts. The bedroom is spotlessly clean and the beds are very comfortable. We loved staying on a working farm and enjoyed visiting the sheep with Siggi. Breakfast was delicious with freshly baked bread, smoothies and scrambled eggs with eggs from their own hens. Raudanes is a great place to see puffins.
