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 accommodation was somewhat rustic and dated and we were lucky as the 4 people in our party were the only guests. If however the other room had been let out to complete strangers then it would have been uncomfortable with only 1 bathroom and a small kitchen and no real private areas except your room (which you would not want to spend all evening in). The TV didn't work and there was no WiFi but there were plenty of games and jigsaw puzzles to keep you occupied if necessary.
Andrea is a lovely host who gave us some very useful information and made us some lovely bread upon our arrival. The accommodation had a really nice communal lounge area in which to sit and relax during the evening. Compared to other Icelandic properties it was reasonable value for money.

United StatesThe room was well-designed and comfortable. The decor was old-style and provided us with a perfect Icelandic homestay. One of the unique aspects is the personalized atmosphere it provides. Since it's a homestay, it was very calm, and felt like we were at our own home. The next time I visit Iceland, I will definitely stay at this place again.

We LOVED the place and everything. It has been a highlight among our accommodation choices in Iceland. This is an original Icelandic house! We were delighted to be welcomed by the owners dog , the sweet Tawta! The house was warm , big and well equipped.

United StatesWe tripped a few times on the unusual raised thresholds leading to several rooms, especially the bathroom. Might be good to paint it white like the others so it can be noticed more easily.
Beautiful location on workings farm. Each room has its own sink. Easy check in. very kind owner. It’s an older home, but gives a real experience on living in Iceland.

United StatesWe were not expecting to be put in a container instead of the guesthouse. We were expecting a small kitchen, but there was no kitchen or refrigerator for us to use, and the wifi was exceptionally slow when it was working at all.
The host was friendly and helpful with suggestions for places to visit in the area. We loved the description of how the farm works that was in a binder in the room. We were surprised to have a private bathroom, and the beds were very comfortable. The surrounding land was beautiful!

ItalyWe booked this guesthouse because it was specified that there was the use of kitchen included in the room, but when we arrived, the host informed us that there wasn't kitchen and blames Booking.com because she warned that it is gone but they do not change the information on the site!!!!! We had to fast because it was too late. Among the services they indicate that the wifi is present but doesn't work. They make fun of people!!!!!!!
Very clean room and bathroom. Good location for visiting the Hvítserkur rock.

NorwayWe were lucky to have the house to ourselves due to being a large-ish party. Sharing bathroom and common space with strangers is not something we're too fond of. We're not complaining, though, we knew what to expect. There just aren't many choices in the area.
The guesthouse is adequate. There's nothing spescial to say about it. The most important feature, is that the location was perfect for an overnight break according to our schedule.

SpainYou cannot use the kitchen unless you rent the whole house. We were lodged in the containers with private bathroom so no kitchen. Be sure to ask the owner before you go if you want to use the kitchen. The access to the lodge way it is in the middle of a curve, a bit dangerous
the room is a container, but it is very well conditioned.

CroatiaOn the day we arrived, we were asked if we could check out earlier, or at least remove the sheets from the bed so they can be cleaned because the cleaning service is coming around 10. I wouldn't mind it that much if it was communicated a bit more politely, but I wasn't that happy with the communication with the host in general. A day before we arrived we were informed that we cannot get the double bed we requested (which we didn't mind that much), but two singles, and also that the kitchen could not be used because that is also now a part of the bigger apartment. We don't know if that was even included in our reservation since we weren't planning on using the kitchen, but we would appreciate if such information was communicated earlier. I guess that is why we also weren't offered an option for breakfast. The other hosts we met during our Iceland road trip were much more professional and welcoming.
The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was great, everything looks new. The place is remote and peaceful.
