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 Kingdomthe bedroom was very very simple. there was no soap, shampoo or anything in the shower, no heating in the bathroom, no wardrobe or anywhere to put the bags on top. no tv either. could do with a bit of refurbishment.
the location was perfect and so beautiful! the staff was really helpful. they serve dinner, which is really good since it’s in the middle of nowhere

United KingdomThe wifi was awful which isn't great when you're in a remote location that is dark from 5pm & the rooms don't have tvs. The dinner quality was ok but they told everyone to arrive at the same time instead of staggering the service so people were waiting over 40 mins to get food. Plus our room was right next to the shared bathroom and the shower was very loud. We stayed at 5 different places on our Iceland trip and this was our least favourite place we stayed.
Very good price & comfy beds. Breakfast was decent.

United StatesDinner was not as good as expected. The soup and bread were delicious, but the lamb was a lot of bones and gristle... not a lot of actual meat for the price. I should have had a lamb burger!
Freindly check in and restaurant staff. Breakfast was cold but a very nice selection - meats, hard boiled eggs, cheeses, skyr, delicious bread, juice, coffee

United StatesLet me start by letting everyone know that when it comes to "location" in Iceland, the property is listed as the town closest to it. In this case, Hofn...which was 30+ miles away. As a guesthouse, you're usually located on a farm like property...always beautiful but remote. When we checked in, we were given a room. We went in....and to our surprise, there was no bathroom...we had a SHARED bathroom with four other rooms. We booked a guesthouse, not a Hostel so were disappointed. We were late in checking in and the place looked full so, I didn't challenge it...but this should never have happened. Also, a very limited breakfast.
Other than the beauty of the countryside there wasn't a lot to like.

NetherlandsThe rooms are very basic, bed, toilet, shower, that's it. While that's fine for us, the price should reflect it. We stayed in fully equipped apartments in Iceland for less. Also the picture on booking.com did not reflect the room we got at all. It was clearly from the separate chalets down the hill.
We had a very relaxing stay here. Rooms are basic and not too big, but the location makes up for that. A farm like guesthouse a few km of the ring road. The restaurant serves good food at (for Iceland) very reasonable prices. Breakfast was decent with enough choice. The restaurant can also be used in the evening as a common area, too sit, have some tea, play cards, etc.

AustraliaNo TV , late checkin time , no porch so when you open the difficult door in the rain you get soaked. One soap dispenser near sink not near the shower so have to leave the shower to get soap each time. Could hear the neighbours through the wall.
Provided nice dinner.

United StatesUnfortunately we ended up with a small room with no attached WC. There was NO ventilation in the room. There were NO closets in the room, just a tiny desk and a tiny tiny sink, and barely enough space around the beds. The shared WC was so small, and they provided no shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, etc. It was the most miserable we have been in any accommodation in all our travels in a long time. WiFi was extremely poor - the worst we found in all of Iceland. The location itself is 5 kms on dirt road from Highway 1, and complete isolation. They should NOT be charging so much for the room they provided to us. AVOID this place at all cost - I made the mistake of choosing it for the distance we were traveling the day we arrived and the next say - but there are other much better options in the vicinity.
Breakfast, view of the glaciers from the property (when not obscured by fog or clouds)

HungaryRoom very basic, it has nothing, bathroom in bad condition. We had a room with private bathroom but our room was next to the common bathrom so it was very noisy. Sea view is a bit of an overstatement. Poor breakfast.

Belgiumthis family-run business is truly adorable! The owners and staff of this B&B are incredibly friendly and attentive, the food is super delicious (especially the lamb from the farm on the same grounds!), and the rooms are spacious and cosy and super clean. And on the views…!! 🤩
