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 StatesIf you are not going up further in the north, stay closer to Akuyeri or Lake Myvatn. It is a little out of the way if you are short on time.
If you are up north this is a great place to stay. The rooms are and comfortable, the owner is very nice and helpful. Breakfast is good too.

ItalyOur stay was extremely pleasant. Grenivik Guesthouse has been a beautiful surprise in the North of Iceland after days of camping. We would've definitely loved to stay longer to enjoy the peace, the comfort and the landscape. The house was very clean, our room was very comfortable and big enough for two, and all the common spaces were really well organized so we had our privacy but also some lovely interaction with other guests, and the hot tub has been a very pleasant extra to enjoy at sunset. But the best part of our stay was definitely Ingólfur, the host. His welcoming was very warm and kind, he was very open and helpful as a host, he gave us a lot of tips as soon as we arrived, and prepared us a really delicious breakfast with a lot of local ingredients. Ingólfur was also very kind to stay with us during our breakfast -and even longer- to talk with us about Icleand history, traditions, culture, geography and all the curiosities we had. He has a special place in our hearts.

Lovely view from the dining room windows. The kitchen was very well-appointed, and we could have cooked a proper meal if we had wished. The host was very chatty and gave us lots of information about the area, and Iceland in general. Great breakfast with some local food on offer. We appreciated being able to organise an early breakfast which meant we could get to our whale watching trip in Husavik on time. There was a supermarket and bar/cafe within a two minute walk so self-catering was easy.

IsraelOur best stay in Iceland. The place is gorgeous, both location, directly on the fjord, and the guesthouse itself. The shared kitchen/ dining room is comfortable and welcoming, with large windows overlooking the sea. The rooms are clean and nice, with good breakfast. Above all Inoglfur's great hospitality, and the knowledge and conversations, which gives you insight about Iceland.

Every single bit of this stay was wonderful. From the drive, to our greeting from the host, to the clean, well appointed rooms, to the breakfast, to the view--all fantastic! I wish we had stayed here more than one night. The host is very friendly and involved (in a good way) and this stay was worth every penny!

NetherlandsEverything was great. Even the town of Grenivik has everything you need, a small supermarket, restaurant and gas station.
The host is amazing, very kind and knowledgable. The rooms are comfortable, breakfast is good and the hottub has an amazing view (as does the communal area). It is a very small guesthouse with only four rooms so it will never feel busy. The kitchen is great and fully equipes as well. We had the best stay here!

ItalyThis was by far the best accommodation we ever stayed in! Definitely one of the highlights of our three weeks in Iceland. Great value for money. Many people stayed only for one night in the accommodation but it definitely pays off to stay longer. We stayed a total of four nights. The breakfast had a good selection and there was something new and local or homemade to discover every day. As Italians we appreciated the great coffee from the coffee machine. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you could possibly need. The view from the dining room and the hot tub is amazing. You have a direct view on the fjord and the surrounding mountains. Our room also had the same view. Ingólfur is the best host EVER and the nicest person we met in Iceland. He took so much time for each of his guests. He did everything to make our stay as pleasant and memorable as possible. He was happy to share helpful and important tips and information about Iceland and we were able to learn lots of interesting things. Even now back in Italy we talk so much about the time in Grenevik. An absolute recommendation for everyone!

Czech RepublicEverything about this guesthouse was better than expected. It is located in a beautiful town in the middle of nowhere with splendid ocean view. Parking is available directly in front of the guesthouse. Breakfast is included and excellent with some homemade goodies to taste. But the true gem of this guesthouse is his owner. We really appreciated helpful tips and wonderful stories about Iceland. We stayed in six different locations during our trip and this guesthouse was one of two accommodations that were hard to leave. Thank you for making our Icelandic experience even more magical. Alena & Marcel (and small red car :))
