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 Fisherman's Village is charming with lots of interesting design details. The location is amazing, on a peninsula with ocean all around. There were horses grazing just next door and an aviary filled with doves on the property. It's also near a golf course, which we found humorous. Our room had a good family layout, with a sitting area, double bed bedroom and two lofts with double beds on each. The staff was kind when contacting them by phone. The sauna and hot tub were nice touches.
The water was off because of construction in the area and was promised to resume by 4:30pm. It didn't resume until 7:30pm and we were worried that we'd have to find other accommodations, which was stressful. Our room had a hot tub in the back and it was so hot you could have made a sous vide dish in it (we couldn't go in for fear of burning our skin) once the water resumed. We asked for someone to fix it and don't even know if anyone came because we went to bed at 10 pm. This morning the water in it was cold, so maybe they just turned the heat off. We felt cheated since we paid extra for a room with a hot tub and sauna (and because we had to wait so long for the water to be turned back on, we didn't even have time to try the sauna). The whole place was a bit tired. It was quaint, but it needed updating.

On the last night before an early flight it was very loud with one family having some Kind of argument between the different rooms lots of shouting and tears - this is in no way the fault of the fisherman’s village however as it’s unmanned there were no staff on site to ask them to quieten down.

Verified reviewThe room was clean and located in a beautiful setting with the ocean surrounding the property. We took advantage of the quiet neighborhood for walking. The nearby grazing horses were an added bonus to the setting. I appreciated the timely response via email to a question I had about the room before my arrival.
The TV was not working, unable to get a signal. The room was limited in the amount of plug-ins and very limited towel bars in the bathroom. There was not a person on-site that I could consult when I had an issue with the room door.

Verified reviewOf the ten locations we stayed in Iceland this was our favourite. If I could give it 11 ot of 10 I would. It is the kind of place I would move to Iceland to live in. Beautiful scenery; quiet - you could not tell that you were 10 minutes from central Reykjaiv. You feel like you are a millionaire - beautiful beach to stroll along; horses to pet a golf course to walk around. There is even a sauna and hot tubs. The room was great with a lovely en-suite.
I wouldn't change a thing - its a place I would gladly return to.

Verified reviewRoom had exceptional views with seaview on both sides of our accommodation, and a paddock with Icelandic horses outside our lounge window. The spa and sauna available to all guests was very much welcomed at the end of the day after touring the Golden circle. A quiet location on the end of a peninsula with great views.
Nothing to add.

Verified reviewSuch an idyllic place! I wish I’d had time to stay longer. So quiet and serene out by the sea. Horses in the pasture just outside my window. Coffee and tea service in room with a small mini fridge. Not much around in the way of restaurants, so you’ll need to plan ahead. Close proximity and easy drive to the airport. Walking paths through the moors and beautiful views of the city and sea.

Verified reviewWe got an apartment for 4 people (nr 23) and it was okay for 1 night. It was very clean. The child liked the horses close by and it is only 40 minutes to Kevlavik airport.
I was disappointed when we arrived at the apartment as the last stop of our vacation on Island. The apartment definitely needs some renovations, as the walls and ceilings contain scratches and other damage. The bed was used up and I woke up with some back pain. It must have been a great apartment when built, but now it doesn't feel nice anymore and is too expensive for what you get. The neighbors are very close and pass through the terrace and windows.
Hi Sebastian, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear the apartment was clean and that your child enjoyed the nearby horses.

For the summer months, better room darkening shades are needed. If you need darkness in order to sleep, do not book a lofted room. There are frosted windows that do not have shades, and let in too much light.

A way to make the room less humid, we felt damp the entire time. Not a deal breaker thought everything else was excellent and the proce was so low compared to other properties we stayed. I would book this again in a heartbeat.
