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...).

SwitzerlandThe room was a wee bit small, but for 1-2 nights that's fine
Great location right by the harbour. We received a very friendly welcome and were happy to talk to the owner and his father about Iceland. Perfect starting point for whale watching or excursions along the coast. The Fiskur Pot was excellent.

AustraliaNothing really but keep in mind that the GPS/google maps location for the guesthouse was a bit confusing and not correct. You will find the guesthouse next to the museum.
Location was nice, next to the museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft which has a cafe. We had a great view from our room. Staff were very nice and helpful, particularly when we received a severe weather warning and needed some advice. Wi fi was good, breakfast was basic but perfectly adequate.

United StatesEverything was spotless and updated. Met the owner and he was very nice to talk to so I learned a lot more about Iceland and got all my pesky questions answered. They were very thoughtful about everything at the guesthouse, and very accommodating allowing us to store some food in their fridge. The room itself was a bit tight in space but seems on par with most guesthouses here. Would recommend.

GermanyThe room and facilities were nice, but nothing above average - the price however is certainly a little on the high side for what you get.
Guesthouse is beautifully located right in the harbour, with really nice views from the windows. Staff was very helpful and we had a great chat during breakfast. No problems with parking.

ItalyRoom extremely small: no space for luggages, even on the floor. Extremely small bathroom: sink usable to wash only your hands, because for the teeth it was almost a challenge. Shower good, even if without a bath mat: I asked for it and they gave me at least another shower towel. No body/hair soap.
Comfy bed.

Nice little place. The room was small but hey, all we wanted was a bed for the night and that is what we got. Great location overlooking the fjord. Very friendly staff.
