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...).

South AfricaOnly minor downside would be little ventilation in the room (unable to open windows). This made it difficult to cool the room after being in the sun all day (was there during summer).
Excellent staff. Beautiful lodgings with spectacular views of the mountains and glacier in the distance. The breakfast in the morning was great! Much recommended.

AustraliaAll good! If you wanted to eat out it is a fair drive to the neatest town but this did not bother us as the restaurant in the farm was great.
The dinner menu was wonderful - you must try the lamb burger!!! There was a coffee/tea stand you could help yourself from at any time which was greatly appreciated

United KingdomThe only thing that was not so easy was that the shared toilet and shower were in one room, which sometimes leads to waiting times for the bathroom. But this is just a tiny point. Overall it was very nice.
Lovely location and very very friendly team. Rooms were clean and practical. Dinner and breakfast were also very good and individually prepared. I can only recommend to stay here.

Nypugardar is located in a beautiful setting overlooking two glaciers and we loved having that view from the property. Our room was located in the main building and had its own private bathroom. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and unlike many in Iceland the temperature of the room was perfect! We had the best night's sleep of our whole trip here! We ate our evening meal in the restaurant which is renowned for its lamb dishes and both of us were wowed by the quality and taste of the meals. It was the best dinner of our entire trip too! In the morning our breakfast was again amazing. The bread was warm and tasted so good, and I don't know what they added to the Skyr yoghurt but it was again the best we had in the country. We wouldn't hesitate to return and would give Nypugardar a score of more than 10 if possible.

SwedenGravel road between the normal road and this farm has extremely many potholes, drive carefully
This amazing little guesthouse is part of the sheep farm (next building), and animals roam freely, so be prepared they will come to say hi :) Our room was built as a small house - part of a longer row-house. Comfy and cozy, with nice bed, chill area with the sofa, clean nice bathroom with shower and towel warmer which was extremely handy for small clothes washing and drying. The view from the window was so stunning that I took photos in different light conditions during the evening: sheep field, stones, woods, glacier, mountains, sunset...
