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...).

AustraliaSelf-check-in. Pretty basic hostel-style accommodation although private rooms not dorms. Shared kitchen and washing machine is a bonus. Very good value for the price and in an excellent location for a stop-over while exploring the Golden Circle - close to Geysir and Gullfoss falls

ItalyThe owner didn’t give us check-in instructions and did not answer my (numerous) calls while we were standing outside the house. It’s almost impossible to take a shower: the water is either boiling or freezing. There are two bathroom for all the rooms of the house but just one has the shower.
Location really convenient in the middle of Golden Circle. 20 min from Geyser and Gullfoss. The house is very warm and the kitchen well equipped. The room was cozy and clean.

United StatesWifi and cell service are spotty, but it’s a very remote area, so that’s probably why. There are no close grocery stores or restaurants, so bring food! The upstairs bathroom has a clogged sink.
The price! It’s hard to find good deals in Iceland—even hostels are expensive—and it’s perfect for a quick stay. Everything was fairly clean, bed Iinens, towels all good.

SingaporeThere is only 1 shower for the whole house , which consists of 5 rooms. The shower is also hard to manage to find the right balance of hot water and cold water . It was either too cold or too hot even by touching an inch of the knob .
Near to main attraction and the tomato glass house restaurant. Large room and good pricing !

IrelandSingle room I got (room no 6) was quite tiny and bed was right under the roof so there wasn't much space above you. Had to be careful when getting up. Lamp at the desk next to bed didn't work. Very weak mobile signal on room 6 side of the building.
House is located in the middle of nowhere in beautiful nature, right off the main road. It looked it was well maintained, nice lawn behind the house. It was about 15-20 mins drive to Geysir and also to Crater lake. Advice - do not book this place if you do not come by car, it's far from anywhere. Didn't meet the owners, but they messaged the instructions right after I booked the room. It was a great value and I think I would stay here again.

MaltaThe guesthouse is overall cold, however we encountered high force winds during our stay. Unfortunately there seemed to be a problem with the shower’s water temperature regulation.
This property has a good location, well equipped kitchen, and very comfortable and well equipped rooms. Moreover although we encountered a small mishap with the booking, the host promptly came and sorted out the matter.

United KingdomOnly one shower for 11 people. The only communal space is the kitchen. If you have one of the 5 small rooms, the accommodation would be really cramped and only suitable for one night.
We had the one large room in the property, which was great for us, but the The other 5 rooms are very small .... just a bed and nowhere to sit or put your luggage. The Czech cleaner was great fun and super friendly. We enjoyed chatting to her. For Iceland, the price is low, but the facilities reflect this.

United StatesThe entrance through the kitchen was awkward for us on arrival with four guests at the kitchen table, one or two of which had to move to allow us to get in and out with our luggage. The room was quite cold when we arrived and took a little while to warm up after adjusting the thermostat. The stairs to the second floor are more narrow and steep than usual. The door to the shared bathroom on the second floor had a noticeable gap on the latching side, which was right next to the top of the stairway. This made it uncomfortable to sit on the toilet, wondering if anyone might be use the stairs before you were finished sitting there. However, all of these shortcomings were tolerable in consideration of the lower price for a bed for the night.
The price and location were great for our needs.
