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...).

United KingdomGorgeous location with incredible views, very good room and bathroom. Delicious breakfast which was a really nice addition to the stay and super good value being included in the price of the room! Room was very hot with no radiator to change and temp/ window did not open very wide! Not the fault of the property however the road leading up the property is extremely bumpy/ pot holey gravel track!

United KingdomWe planned our evening meal at Nypugardar as there are no facilities and nothing nearby, however the food just wasn't as good as we had elsewhere. Maybe that's just Iceland setting the bar high but in comparison to other places it was just fine.
The location is great, remote and with fantastic views. It's next to a farm which some people won't like but for us, it made it more rural and added to the experience. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Overall it's just a lovely place.

BrazilLow shower pressure. We couldn’t control the heating system, so it was too hot at night (uncomfortable). Strong farm smell right outside the hotel.
It was away from city lights so we got to se the Northern lights from the hotel bedroom. Good breakfast.

SpainNothing :)
I really liked this place, it is very nice and quiet with amazing views of the glaciers, the mountains and the sea. The staff was very kind and helpful and the rooms were clean and comfy. There is no kitchen but you can use the toaster in the dinning room area. We had dinner there, the lamb was very good, directly from their farm. Also it was good quality for the price we paid for the dinner compared to other restaurants. I recommend this place in your visit to Iceland for a road trip.

NetherlandsWonderful stay! We had booked a room and were pleasantly surprised. It looked even better in real life than in the photos. You could enjoy stunning views over the landscapes, even from your room. We were lucky to witness the beautiful Northern Lights from here. The room was clean, and the breakfast was delicious! Definitely a must-add to your road trip.
