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...).

AustraliaExcellent place to stay when driving Highway 1. Friendly staff, fantastic breakfast buffet. Room very comfortable and clean. Went into hot tub under the stars as full moon rose. Even saw the northern lights. Highly recommended as a top place to stay.

SwitzerlandWe stayed in the guesthouse with shared bathrooms. All facilities were clean, bed comfortably, very warm. But unfortunately the property don’t pay attention to the basic details: missing towels in the kitchen, no knives or dustpan with broom at the entrance. We won’t book this property again, but value for price is good.
Good breakfast, including waffles with tasty jams. Coffee and tea with cookies in the lobby.

AustraliaThe bathrooms were spotlessly clean and well heated. The room is a little small for 2 people and luggage but the breakfast more than made it value for money. Being surrounded by horses was a treat. Fridge and kettle in the common area but no cooking. It was a pleasant stay for 1 night.

SpainNothing I could think of...
It was an excellent stay, they serve a very good breakfast. The room and all installations in general were very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were shared, but private, which is nice. Also, there were enough bathrooms and showers, so no waiting in line. The staff was super nice. The location was great, despite not being in a central city location, it was relatively close to main attractions at the south and in the route to diamond beach, so it's easier to come back instead of returning all the way back to Reykjavik.

This guesthouse is located in a nice and quiet area. Breakfast is really nice and staff friendly however, the room are pretty basic and small. Is a cheaper option compared to other places in the area so if you are travelling on a “budget” ( hard To say that in Iceland ) I would definitely recommend this place. There is a kitchen but no pan or similar ( this was specified to be honest so we knew in advance ) but being a guesthouse, it would be nice if I could prepare my own food instead of going to the restaurant but this is just my opinion. There is a bar in the main building where you can enjoy a beer or a drink at a normal price ( below Icelandic standard )
