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...).

NetherlandsThe house is beautiful with large windows to see the surrounding ocean and beautiful weather and sunsets. The house is luxurious with heated floors. It is relaxing to sip a coffee by the window looking at the ocean where the wind blows away the rain clouds.

United KingdomGreat communication with owners. A little bit off the beat and track in the winter when it is dark and cold. But once you got your bearings, it wasnt such a problem. Good size family property. Great blue tooth speaker, for listening to music. Wood burner makes the place feel super cozy. It never felt cold at all in the property throughout the day or night.

United KingdomThe only thing lacking was a television screen, which would have been nice to plug our laptop into and play movies to enjoy on the long, dark evenings in winter! But this was made clear in the property description so we knew to expect it. Also, it wasn't easy to find straight away when we arrived on a snowy winter night in the dark - I think this would be no issue at all in daylight though, and the host did send good directions (it just wasn't easy the first time in the dark!). Apart from that there was nothing to not like!
The property was spacious and clean and very comfortable. The beds in particular were super comfy! There were large glass windows at the front where we spent a lot of time sitting and watching the sea (and looking for the aurora at night). We saw humpback whales and dolphins from the house, and also the aurora on almost every night when it wasn't cloudy. There was a lovely wood burner, and the kitchen was well supplied with everything you might need. And it was well situated for the road to go sight-seeing. All in all, we had an excellent and comfortable stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

United StatesThe only downside, which wasn’t that big of a deal, was most of the dishes/utensils/pans were not clean. However this is not a huge deal and we just washed items that we were going to use.
This property has incredible views and is conveniently located between Reykjavik and Keflavik. You are far enough removed from the city to see the northern lights! The property is a great size, the bathroom and bedrooms were very nice and well-sized. The primary contact for the property was very responsive before and during my stay and ever checked in to see how things were going.

United StatesThird bedroom was very small and I think they miss a huge opportunity by not having a spa/sauna outside with those beautiful water views.
Great location. It is right off a main roadway but it feels secluded. It was a 1/2 hr from the airport and a 1/2 hr from Rekeyevik.

United KingdomWe contacted the company four times via booking.com asking how we got keys but did not get a reply (this could be a booking.com problem), this brought a lot of stress knowing if we turned up would somebody be there. We took ages to find it as it was dark. When we arrived no one was there and we had to ring a number we found on a link to Greenkey team. We got the code. All the dishes from a previous customer were in the dishwasher, worktops not cleaned.
The property is amazing though won't suit everyone. You will need a car and its 30-35 minutes into the city. You are remote in a dark site with perfect views North so could watch the lights from inside. Underfloor heating ensures you are comfy and with the sea air the best sleep ever.

United KingdomWe struggled with the keypad on arrival, eventually being told by the agent to "kick" the door to get in....it would be easier to have a manual lock box in case of technical problems, like a faulty keypad. The smaller bedroom by the bathroom we couldn't use, there is smell coming from the pipe work and we had to keep the door closed. The couch and seating could do with an upgrade...
A fantastic house in a great location, we were always happy to come home to a lovely warm house after a day of exploring the wilderness. Spacious, clean linen, comfortable beds and fresh water for drinking, the bathroom was fantastic and spacious as well. The facilities were great, washing machine and tumble dryer - the kitchen was really well thought out and you have everything you need for a very comfortable stay. We saw the Aurora from the lounge windows on numerous nights. Location to Keflavik airport and Reykjavik was convenient, with good planning, you have access to the Southern routes, and Western routes as well. We would definitely book to come again.

AustraliaCouldn't work out how to turn the outside lights off - so when we had Northern Lights it was more difficult to see then due to the ambient light.
Location was very convenient from Reykjavik and also the International Airport - but in hindsight the main attractions were over the other side of town - but not a big deal when you have a hire car. Great facilities and very comfortable.

United KingdomThe hot water stopped working on our arrival day so we had cold showers although the owner tried to get a plumber asap.
Beautiful views of the sea in this quiet property. It was a few hundred yards on an unmarked road after leaving the main road so might be difficult to see in the winter as unlit. Modern but characterful inside with loads of books and an excellent sound system. (no TV) Kitchen well equipped and beds extremely comfortable. Good blinds. Excellent for getting to airport (15mins) and Reykjavík (25 mins) and Golden Circle and South Coast easily reached within a couple of hours. We hired a car.

United KingdomThe only down side of a wonderful stay was a smell in the small bedroom from the pipework which appears to enter and leave the property in this room. This didn't effect us however as we only used 2 of the 3 bedrooms.
Access was easy using the key box code sent to us the day before including a video and photos of our route to the Cabin and how to open and lock the door. The cabin was perfect for our needs, very comfortable and with all accessories needed. There was no tv which we found very refreshing and resulted in us have some super social evenings. We even watched the aurora borealis from the comfort of the sitting room. Perfect.
