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):
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.
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.).

IsraelThe stairs to the upper floor are very narrow, which makes it hard to carry a suitcase up and down (for fairness, it was mentioned in the place description). The owner mentioned that they intend to expand the stairway!
If you're looking for a nice, inviting, clean guesthouse, in a central place, with plenty of (free) parking, and a welcoming atmosphere, then Guesthouse Mikael is definitely the place for you! We stayed in a few guesthouses in Iceland, and this one is by far better. Nice and clean full kitchen, nice and clean dining room, relatively large rooms, with your own great shower and toilet (not obvious in guesthouse). Oh... and all this at a very decent price! Just by a chance, we met with the owner (and her sister), and had a nice chat. Well, it seems that if the owner is a nice person, the facility is a nice one as well. Thanks (sorry, can't pronounce her name...) :)

RomaniaReaching the room through the stairs was hard when carrying the typical 20 kg trolley luggage. The staircase is in a spiral which is very hard for anyone having room 1-4.
Staff: The communication was effective and they were nice and helpful. It was among the few stays that I had that had a code for room access instead of a key. Room: The beds were comfortable and I could dampen the light easily. It was nice and cozy. Bathroom: There was hot water available and the toilet flushed properly and overall the space was very big. Location: It was great as you are a 2 minute walk away from the most important restaurants.

GeorgiaThe only annoyance was that there was a family with young kids in the living room until quite late in the evening, they seemed to be playing some games and being loud. Since it was June, maybe some people don't realize that even very late at night it doesn't get very dark in Iceland.
The guesthouse has a great location right in the heart of Hofn with some nice restaurants nearby. As elsewhere in Iceland, there was a self-checkin with detailed instructions shared in advance. Our room was quite tiny but with a cute and clean bathroom. The beds were comfortable with clean sheets, cozy and warm blanket. Nothing to complain about for a one-night stay on a road trip. The guesthouse has a small lovely living room with a coffee machine as well as a kitchen. There was a very nice staff member we interacted with before checkout in the morning.

SwedenThis was a last minute booking and it turned out to be one of the best places we stayed in during our round trip. Spotless clean, cosy living room and shared space that I would say turned out better than in the pictures on Booking. The common coffee/espresso machine was very appreciated. The kitchen was also much better equipped than the description. Can really recommend this place.
