Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

FranceI recently stayed at Bitra Guesthouse and was very pleased with my experience. The guesthouse is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff is VERY friendly and helpful.

Here are some of the highlights of my stay: Cleanliness: The guesthouse was impeccably clean, from the rooms to the shared spaces. Comfort: My room was comfortable and cozy, with a plush bed and ample storage space. Welcome: The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. Location: The guesthouse is located in a peaceful and quiet area, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

BrazilThe hosts were amazing. This was my first guesthouse experience and it exceeded my expectations. We got there and it was already dark. We noticed that the northern lights could be out and the hosts did whatever they could to help us see them. It was great! We were the only 2 people booked for the night but when we woke up there was this massive and delicious breakfast. I was astounded by all the different kinds of food they offered. I would stay here all nights if we weren’t going to drive around Iceland.

United StatesEverything about stay at Guesthouse Bitra B&B was perfect. We wouldn’t have changed a thing! We are grateful to Kasia and the team for providing us with such a hospitable and memorable stay at what became our favorite accommodation while visiting South and East Iceland.
Of the seven different accommodations we booked for our stay in Iceland, Guesthouse Bitra B&B was by far the best. Our lovely host, Kasia, kindly assisted with moving our luggage into our rooms without us asking. She patiently prepared a fantastic brekkie spread for the two mornings we were there, a wonderful start to two days spent mostly on the road. The guesthouse is conveniently located not far from the Ingólfsskáli Viking Restaurant and the main attractions on the Golden Triangle. Guesthouse Bitra B&B will always have a special place in our hearts because that’s where we saw the Aurora Borealis for the first (and only) time of our visit to Iceland in September 2023.

Kasia was so friendly, helpful and kind in ensuring our stay was perfect. The facilities are wonderful. The attention to detail in each room meant that our stay was very comfortable. The food for my gluten free breakfast was plentiful and absolutely delicious. The large warm common room with tea and coffee making facilities was inviting. Everything was so clean and lovely.
