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 reviewFriendly owner and was nice enough to let us check in earlier than 17:00. Location is great and a 5 minute walk to the local pools ( wonderful) Small kitchen but had everything you needed to cook basic meals.
Room too small for 3 adults. No storage at all in the bedroom so we were super crowded. No real “common area” to sit at so we ate at a small table in the room. Humidity issues and would be better suited to a two bedroom rental than having 3 to a room and sharing a bathroom with others. Room is in a basement but does have a window.

Verified reviewEverything! We got to the place quite early and we forgot to tell our arrival time but, even so, the woman who own the place was super nice with us and the room was already ready. Good smell, everything super clean and nice furniture distribution. Bed super comfy and a lot of facilities like towels, compresses, gel, shampoo and conditioner, etc... in bathroom. And coffee + coffee makers, teas, fridge and all what you need to cook in kitchen. Everything is very well cared and new. The location is just awesome. We had all what we need in the city close to the place. Thank you so much for everything! :)

Verified reviewLooks renovated inside, the host was nice.
The shared bathroom leads to waiting times and wasn’t always clean. The kitchen is directly in front of the rooms with no door, so we woke up at 5am when the other guest made noise in the kitchen. Window in the room only opened a bit so air got bad real quick.

Verified reviewThe guesthouse is in a great location—close to the Golden Circle, volcanic sites, and several well-known waterfalls in the south. It’s partly below ground level. The kitchen is small, but it has everything you need. You take off your shoes at the entrance, and the place is very tidy, with thoughtful reminders from the host. It was our first time in Iceland, and it was in this room that we truly noticed the warmth of Icelandic heating in summer!

Verified reviewThe room was clean and comfortable. We cooked a simple meal ourselves and the kitchen area had everything we needed. It says shared bathroom, but there weren't any other guests when we were there. So we ended up having the whole basement area. Overall it was a nice experience visiting here.
Nothing.

Verified reviewWe had a great stay! The location was very convenient—right next to a grocery store, which made it easy to pick up anything we needed. The kitchen was well-equipped and perfect for us as a family, making it easy to prepare meals.
The only minor issue we had was finding the place at first—it doesn’t have a sign, so it was a bit confusing and took us a few minutes to confirm we were at the right location.

Verified reviewWe booked at 16.45 due to red weather alert, the host let us in at 17.00 and it was all in perfect conditions. The check out was at 10am but she let us stay until 12am due to bad weather, she was very kind and lovely. And the welcome from the little dog was heartwarming and what we needed after the bad weather. Definitely recommended
