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.).

Brilliant spot to explore the attractions in the south of Iceland. Very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Was an easy check-in and they even left a book full of instructions on how to do things in the guesthouse and recommendations. Would definitely recommend!

United KingdomDespite booking the place for the view (the surroundings were lovely) our view was interrupted pretty much the whole time by upto 5 vehicles (inc farm vehicles) in front of our windows in the parking area from the hosts. This was pretty disappointing as one of the selling points (and I'm sure the price!) was the view. Also, the pool shown on the advertising images are not part of the property but a public pool a short drive away - whilst the description says no pool it was somewhat misleading.
The room was a decent size and had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. It was clean and check in/out was easy. Good instructions were sent in advance. It was queit and you could not hear anything from adjacent properties. We didn't meet anyone actually, but someone did clear the steps in the morning after a stormy night. It is a great distance from Vik for a shop/eateries and also some of the other sites. Just off the main ring road but no noise.

AustraliaNothing significant. Some people may want a TV which the cottages didn’t have, but I was fine without it!
Excellent location just out of Vik. Cottage was clean, had good amenities and the view was spectacular. It was wet and windy during my stay for two days, but that’s Vik in winter so it was a great experience. Self check-in and out was also very handy due to the hour I arrived.

United StatesThere was nothing we did not like except having to say goodbye.
The location was perfect place to stay for day trips along the southern coast of Iceland. The view from the room as spectacular and the night sky with the northern lights was breathtaking. It was quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed seeing the horses on the farm and we have some great pictures with my wife and one of the horses. Having a kitchenette in the room was golden. Allowed us to save money on food eating out which is expensive. Could not have been more perfect for us. Such a lovely place to stay. We did not want to leave.
