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...).

Review for accomodation We were warmly welcomed by Jacob, who helped with our luggage. The room was super clean and comfortable for two people, with fresh towels provided. The bathroom and WC are shared, but they are kept so clean that everyone makes the effort to maintain them. There’s also a cosy corner outside the rooms for relaxing. Breakfast was excellent. Although we were not able to see the Northern Lights, we enjoyed a beautiful sunrise.

United StatesSuch a minor thing! I wished there was soap and laundry detergent available so I could scrub out a stain in my jacket. The closest restaurants and shops were about a 20-minute drive, and dinner options were limited.
Loved the breakfast - one of the best meals we had in Iceland. Nice view of trees from the dining room, where we lingered over our toast, lox, and tea. The rooms were clean, quiet, and just what we wanted. The woman who greeted us at the front desk (Birgid?) was so kind and welcoming. All our clothes were soaking wet from the rain, and she gave us a drying rack and, if that didn't work, offered to dry our clothes in the staff's dryer. I loved the location, surrounded by a sweeping view of a dramatic landscape.

United StatesA bit remote vs lodgings on closer vicinity to Selfoss, but given weed done the ring road clockwise, being a few miles from a large ‘metropolis’ was nuffin’ compared to places we’d stayed up north. Perfectly adequate, totally accessible by car on 10 minutes.
Included breakfast, had a tv room/lounge with couches, games, puzzles. Nice place to relax at the end of the day.

FinlandAs the location is about 10 km from Sellfoss you need to head out for dinner but since every body is probably renting a car to get here anyway this is a small inconvenience.
We had a great stay at the guesthouse on top of the hill. The location is great next to the cross roads of Golden Circle and the road to south coast. The facilities were in really great shape and the rooms were comfy and clean.
