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 reviewThe location was better than I could have imagined. We couldn't have done better if we tried. Perfection. The amenities were top tier. We stayed in a different location every night on our 8 day trip around the Ring Road and this place was our favorite.
Nothing.

Verified reviewVery nice room on the first floor. The room was spacious and immaculate. Perfect location...right in town. The town in super cute with a couple of good restaurants.
Our room was on the first floor facing the street. With the window shades, which we needed for privacy, we could not open the windows and the room was a bit hot. I would recommend a room on the lagoon side.

Verified reviewCan’t beat the location. Room was clean. And they left a few little thoughtful touches.
Walls are thin. Room was pretty basic for the price but sufficient.

Verified reviewAmazing view/deck. Location can’t be beat. You are staying on the beautiful rainbow road. The hosts were great at communicating and left a yummy chocolate bar. The restaurant, Kaffi Lara El Grillo Bar was close and amazing.
I wish I knew that there was a refrigerator. Also, they only had shampoo but no conditioner which I expected.

Verified reviewWe were able to get a balcony room and so sat outside in the morning on the balcony and enjoyed our free coffee. The view was absolutely gorgeous. The room was clean and so comfortable. We walked around the lagoon for a beautiful walk in the morning and in the early evening.
I sure cant say anything about our lodgings

Verified reviewSelf check in was a breeze with the keys conveniently left in envelopes with each quests name. The rooms facing the water have beautiful little balconies with chairs and you can even see the lovely waterfall. The hotel is located right on the rainbow street and everything is easily walkable. This is truly the prettiest town in east Iceland and Vid Lonid Guesthouse is a wonderful place to rest yourself. We are sorry we only stayed one night.

Verified reviewThis was THE best place to be! We were here for 2 nights. The view was spectacular, bed was very comfortable, and going to sleep with the sound of the waterfall was the icing on the very special experience. Breakfast at The Filling Station was delicious. Thank you!

Verified reviewThe beds were just a bit too soft. We prefer a bit more support. The windows overlooked the pathway so blinds had to be always shut for privacy. Consider installing privacy curtains? Or something to offer closure but light. Excellent shower ! Loved the efficient coffee maker ! Chocolate bar was a super nice touch !
