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...).

Can't really say anything about it, I arrived in the dark, and left the next day, so I didn't get to meet the owners, didn't really see the place, basically slept and showered there and left again.

SpainWe couldn't lock the door, and later we found out that we had to turn the handle up first to lock it, and because the check-in time was a bit short, we arrived late, but we couldn't contact the landlord immediately. Later, we directly asked the person living next door and he told us which room it was.
The room was quite comfortable and the nearby environment is also very good. We love those sheep and animals

AustraliaThe garbage system is extremely confusing! Water goes everywhere in the shower due to no cubicle. Noise from upstairs is noticeable.
Lovely staff who were responsive via the app and one of the workers, Kristin, gave us a tour of the farm when we left, so nice! Good location for exploring the south coast and further East. I enjoyed seeing the horses when I drove in and out of the property. Netflix on the TV is always fantastic. Sufficiently equipped kitchen. Coffee and tea provided.

MalaysiaThe house has no lock. Hence, when the farm hand came to help us with the shower, he just got in into the living room. When we got out from the room, we were startled to see him standing there! uffff... The location is quite far from the main road.
This is the first farm house that we ever stayed, and we were so excited. The bed was comfortable. Kitchen was fully equipped. Owner was prompt in responding to our request.

IndiaThe best stay of our Iceland trip. I came back here after 8 years yet again. I love the farm life around this property, which has a super friendly dog as well. You get to enjoy the sheep and the horses around and can even buy farm products like milk and meat The place is away from any major city and slightly off the ring road but still very well connected by a well-maintained road. This is not very far from Reykjavik, so makes for a perfect stay on your first or the last day of a roadtrip. Just rent a car in Reykjavik and head here in 2 hours. This is also located very close to Seljalandsfoss. Also, a perfect place to enjoy northern lights. Don’t even need to go out anywhere, just enjoy from the property without any light pollution. We got the best view

United StatesTrash separation instructions were a little confusing and the bins were not labeled on the outside so we had to lift a heavy stone paver multiple times to find the right one. Not a huge deal but recommend labeling the outside of the larger bins as well.

United StatesThe kitchen was poorly equipped. The water pressure was very low and the curtain claustrophobic but nonetheless using the shower always got water all over the bathroom. The beds were uncomfortable. There was also quite a bit of ADA equipment cluttering the apartment.
Nice location in the middle of Icelandic farm country, close to the Vestmannaeyjar terminal. A fair amount of space inside and very private feeling.

United StatesNothing. As above, if the expectations are for a working farm, then this place provides as such.
The location was perfect for me because I was heading to the Westman Islands for a day trip. I so appreciated that Oliver, one of the farmhands, was able to tell me more about the farm and the cows, even showing me the milking area. I did not ask to partake in milking, and my travels didn't allow for the milk/meat that's for sale), but those are apparently options too. My expectations were for a working farm, and with a washer/dryer available, it had everything I wanted/needed. If you set your expectations as Four Seasons, with nary a bug, only then would you be disappointed. I can't think of anything better than watching the midnight sun with horses and sheep out back.

United StatesThe coffee pot had no filters, and the kettle was broken. I know it sounds trivial, but when you've driven many hours and you're very tired, these are very important things!
It was very spacious and light filled, and we met a very cute dog! It was also cool to be so close to a horse farm, where we got to see them rounding up the horses as they galloped away.

United KingdomLocation was central for south coast towns of Vik, Hvolsvöllur and Selfoss. Apartment was invitingly warm, which was most welcome in the middle of winter. Lovely and peaceful area, ideally located for exploring the nearby beach, which we had to ourselves. Owners were very helpful and easily contactable. They gave us an alert when the aurora happened to be visible too! The ground floor apartment has been setup for wheelchair use, with everything in reach. We were invited to to visit the horses and other farm animals which was lovely. Would certainly stay here again.
