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 reviewLovely place overall. Wonderful peace and quiet. The room had very good space and facilities. The owners make a great effort to anticipate your needs and cover them. Vik is a 15 minute drive. So is Reynisfjara beach and Durholay lighthouse.
There was nothing not to like!

Verified reviewSpacious and clean, well equipped. Ideal location to explore the region, good views. Easy to locate and well back off the road #1 to be peaceful.
As a light sleeper, on the first night the fridge was very noisy. I often have to unplug them in hotels and guest houses at night... On the second night, I did not hear it due to hurricane Erin!

Verified reviewConvenient location right off the Ring Rd, a short distance to Vik and the turns for both Reynisfjara Beach and Dyrhólaey. Snug studios as described, fast wifi, small but efficient kitchenette. Hosts found our son's missing camera and called us immediately, which was very kind of them!
Bed wasn't the most comfortable, but was tolerable, and the water pressure was less than some of guesthouses we've had this trip

Verified reviewIt’s in a central location. Check in is easy.
Our toilet didn’t flush properly & the staff knew about it and didnt think it was a problem worth fixing. Then we asked someone else who equally wasn’t that concerned & then said he could try & get a plumber but it was never fixed. The shower leaked as well. It’s very basic but functional room. This overpriced for the facility.

Verified reviewSuper cute! Not too far from Vik, with great views and farm animals nearby. The other reviews were right about the heat, this place gets warm and holds heat easily, but we just opened the windows when we accidentally overheated the place and it was fine.

Verified reviewClean, comfortable, reasonable & a small kitchen if you would use it. Also a book with recommendations for food and nearby attractions.
I would ask for two extra pillows on the bed.

Verified reviewBeautifully situated, easy to navigate to and gorgeous farm animals to say hello to. Very warm and comfortable layout. Good places to put bags. Plenty of wall sockets. The dog from the house was so sweet and friendly.
Ran out of hot water (my fault i had a long, very hot shower). Bed was a little firm but comfortable enough. We had great neighbours but I have a feeling if they were noisy, you would hear them quite a lot.
