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.).

SpainWe had some difficulties with the self-check in because the other guests had closed the front door from the inside. Only two bathrooms for several people. Tiny room. Some labels to identify your food and a "free stuff" box would have been great to have.
Nice place in a nice town. Big kitchen with a lot of ammenities, nice covered terrace and living room.

United StatesThe really bad smelling water. It seems to be an issue all over Iceland, so it's not specific to this property per se, but it's worse here than other properties. Cold water has no smell but the warm/hot water is pungent and unbearable.
They instruct guests take off their shoes at the entrance of the building, quiet location, self check-in

SerbiaWe stayed at 10 different guesthouses on the Ring road and most of them had the same problem - overused kitchen items, precicely old sticky pans that burn meat and egs, but you manage to work with it. This accomodation wasn't too bad regarding this exact problem but don't expect new dishes and pans. Everything else was really great.
Clean rooms with private bathroom, parking, enough space in the kitchen, self check-in. Kitchen has everything you need to make meals. We really liked it here and would recommend it to anyone doing the Ring Road.

CanadaWe arrived at night and it was hard to see where the entrance was. We went into the downstairs private area. Would be nice if there was more light on the building to show you the name at night and know where to park/enter.
The location and pricing worked out great for us. They had a nice big shared kitchen as well as a cute balcony area. Luckily there was only one other room booked in this building, so we had a nice quiet stay here. The doors were creaky so it worked out that it wasn't too busy!

United KingdomThere were no spoons and glasses at all, and not enough cutlery / cups (or generally other basics) for the three of us, even though the place is for more people. Ideally it would be good to have some eating / food place on site , since it is so remote , particularly if you were travelling all day and come only in the evening to sleep. Shower did not have a great water pressure.
Everything was quite good, especially the size - massive, completely self contained apartment. Very warm, good instructions to reach the property. Very quiet surroundings.

Japan-Towel is provided but no body soap nor hair shampoo. -Room was smaller than expected and only a small lamp table to put things. -Limited parking space? We were first to arrive so we got lucky. Two more cars fitted into the roadside parking behind us, but there were at least 2 other groups that were in the house, I wonder where they parked. -Unlucky for us, a family with a noisy baby stayed right beside us, so our sleep was disturbed by the baby cry that lasted all night to the morning.
-Bathroom is spacious and clean, but drainage was slow. -Guesthouse is much more spacious than expected, with a big dining place, a big kitchen, two interaction/TV/boardgame rooms. Good for big group.
