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...).

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Eric the Red Guesthouse! Everything was better than expected- comfortable beds, super clean bathroom, common areas with a touch… we would definitely book again, if in the area.

Location was great for getting to see Reykjavik the next morning, starting with Hallgrimskirkja. No complaints!

United StatesIt’s an older building so there are only stairs to get to the rooms.
The guesthouse is managed by two brothers who take excellent care of the facility. The property is in an excellent position, very close to bus stop #8. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining area is very pretty. The room was basic but perfectly good for a couple of nights.

IndiaThe location was superb. Just 2 minutes walk from the church which is also the collection point for most tours. It is bus stop 8. The main bus terminal is around a 10 minute walk but we had taken Fly Bus from the airport which provided a feeder bus to stop number 8. And the location of this guesthouse is close to the main attractions of Reykjavik. Stay was comfortable. For breakfast there was a range of cereals and coffee. The kitchen has an oven, coffee machine, electric kettle, dish washer which we found very useful.

CanadaWe loved our stay! These comments are not " dislikes" at all... Rooms 11 & 12 (we were in 12)are not yet renovated and open directly into the lobby at the front door and entrance to the kitchen, so a little noisier, I suggest asking for a room on the renovated lower level if one is available. .
Location, clean, super friendly staff ( family owned and operated), affordable by Iceland standards!
