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...).

NetherlandsWalls are quite thin.
Guesthouse is located right beside the Skogafoss waterfall and is by far the most convenient place to stay if you are traveling on a budget. We wanted to camp nearby but the weather was terrible. fortunately this guesthouse still had space. The guesthouse is very clean and has all the necessities including a good equipped kitchen with a coffee machine and water boiler. Parking is right in front of the door and the beds are comfortable. the kitchen and diner area has a nice panoramic view of the surroundings.

CanadaThe single room is too small & there is no hair-dryer in the bathroom. The water coming out of the faucet smells bad and The tablecloth near water tap on ketchen desk smells bad because it is not cleaned properly.
10 min walk to get to the Skogafoss waterfalls and from the windows of dining room the waterfall is seen at distance. good location and easily to to Vik town. Ketchen is basicly equipped and good for self cooking.

Singaporeone of the bathroom with the shower curtain was just uncomfortable. the shower curtains kept sticking to me cos the space wasn’t big and the non-detachable shower head just sprayed everywhere but properly down.
Really responsive people + clean facilities. Our room faced Skogafoss :)

United KingdomWe rushed to get there before 9pm check in and it turned out there was no one to check in with, the rooms were open and our names were on the board - which was great, but if we knew, we wouldn't have to rush (this isn't a complaint, more a clue for other guests) The shower in one bathroom needed fixing but it was useable
Lovely location, we had a room with a view of the waterfall, comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, outside table and chairs, blissful place, highly recommended

United StatesI’m not sure if there was a follow up emails on checking in and out details and I check my emails often and even tried to search for one. We parked at where the sign is and no note of checking in but just walked in, saw our name with a number and minor details of house rules. We just put two and two together and figured it out. It doesn’t have that official confirmation of our room. The no interaction doesn’t bother me, but it would be nice to know how to “check-in”.
Clean room and bathrooms. Covered the bathroom windows. Amazing location.

CanadaI booked a room with a private bathroom and it turns out there was only 1 room with a private bathroom. The guesthouse come up as having a private bathroom when booking, but since it only has one room with a private bathroom it's very deceiving. This was a very unpleasant experience and I had to book another room costing me double the price as I was charged even though I didn't stay in the guesthouse. Once I saw it was a shared bathroom I left. I didn't even enter the bedroom.
It was close to the falls. So location was perfect and easy to get too.

BelgiumAs it is sometimes in shared kitchens, guests are sometimes careless and leave food remainings in the sink and do not wash cups/dishes/cutlery properly. I presume that there is staff who cleans after them every day.
The location within walking distance from Skogafoss waterfall was great. There is a kitchen with several big tables where guest can prepare meals and eat comfortably. My room was functional and clean. Private parking for guests is just in front of the house.

United StatesI've never stayed in a "guest house" before and had a "learning experience". The shared bathroom(s) are out in the main assembly room between the bedrooms. No towels ... lucky I brought my own. The other guests were together and somewhat noisy until around 10:00 PM.
An easy walk to the falls. Clean and well-equipped kitchen. Clean bathrooms. Parking out front.
