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...).

SwedenDriving to the property, we were a little unsure. When we arrived to the property, we were blown away. Both literally and figuratively. The wind was fierce, but the rooms were quite. The dinner was AMAZING, and one of the best meals of the trip. The clouds in the sky parted for a few hours to let us have a glimpse of the aurora.

GermanyEverything was perfect.
The hut was basic but had everything you needed. The bed was comfortable and the hut was warm. A particular highlight was the spectacular view we had of the Northern lights from this guest house. When it got too cold to stand outside any longer, we went back inside the room for a bit and still had a great view of the aurora hanks to the large windows on both sides of the hut. We were supposed to have a room with a shared bathroom but were upgraded to our own hut with private bathroom which was a lovely bonus too. Great value for money and would highly recommend to anyone planning on visiting the area.

United KingdomIt was a little far off the main road with a gravel road leading up to the accommodation - which could have been better signposted. However, very minimal issue.
Absolutely beautiful cabin room that we stayed in, with a huge wet room and incredibly comfortable beds. The staff were very helpful and friendly, asking us about our trip and giving some advice on places to go and the condition of the roads. I was absolutely blown away for the size of the room and the facilities for the amount that we were paying. It was a beautiful room and location. The breakfast was also great. Very enjoyable stay!

GermanyNo way to adjust the temperature in the rooms, no fridge in the rooms and we selected a double bed during booking but got 2 single beds that were next to each other instead.
The room was very quiet, clean and big enough. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The scenery at this place is great and we were able to visit the local sheep. We had breakfast included which was nice but the same every day with limited options.

United KingdomComfy, cozy and incredibly warm (but not too warm) room that we really enjoyed after a very icy and glacier day. The beds were amazingly comfy, and the breakfast in the morning was a very positive surprise in terms of the choice. Would definitely recommend, even though it is a bit of an extra drive from Jökulsárlón!

United KingdomStaff members were fantastic. The one who was there on the evening we arrived offered to let us know if the Northern Lights were happening and she did so. Room was comfortable with clean bathroom and good space. Easy parking (plenty of space). Dinner was very nice and we got to meet other travellers too.

United Kingdomin the included breakfast maybe a sign saying that one of the things was lamb. I don't like it and found out what it was after I ate some. :/
This was one of the hostel I liked most. First, the receptionist Barti (?) was absolutely welcoming and warm. I talked since I first arrived till I last left the dinner room. Although she was a bit skeptical about the chance to see the Northern Lights, it happened and could not be better. The place is a cozy farm, and the place all wooden. For me it makes difference. The room is spacious, and there was bathroom included, all clean and conf. I am pleased I had this special moment there, and for sure, I would recommend the place.
