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 KingdomGreat location and the view is fantastic. We saw whales and a seal from the balcony and the sound of the waves is so relaxing. The only negative point was that the view from the bedroom windows was affected by dirty and/or failed glazing. However, we still really enjoyed our stay. 😀

BelgiumThere is a smell in the bathroom. The host tried his best to solve this issue with sented sticks and candles throughout the apartment so it didn't bother me that much. I also couldn't find the light switch for the ceiling lamps in the bedroom. You see lights hanging on the ceiling but can't find the switch. There were other standing lights which we could use though so also not a big problem at all
I absolutely loved the apartment! It is located on a cliff in a quiet place. Yes you have neighbours but you will only see/hear them at the front of the house. The backside looks out over the sea. Great spot to see the northern lights. As with many apartments you don't see the host throughout your stay. I like that. Your door opens with a code. All basic necessities can be found in the kitchen, also a series of books to read and a telescope to watch the stars or birds, boats at sea. The apartment is very spacious with many places to sit. Unfortunately we only stayed 1 night. I would love to come back and stay for a week and settle on the couch with a book :-)

United StatesBathroom had a smell, maybe from sulfur water? A plug in room freshener was provided and we plugged into the bathroom as well as bought a small room freshener which took care of smell.
Beautiful view of the ocean. We saw great view of aurora the last night we were at property, was cloudy up until then. And saw a lone seal one morning. Good location for visit of Snaefellsnes peninsula. Kitchen well equipped and clean, and everything very nice. Easy checkin, instructions clear and got into property fine.

United StatesAll the beds were in the same room. It was a bit strange for the size of the place.
The apartment has an amazing view with a terrace to the sea. The telescope was a nice touch to watch the wild life (we saw a sea lion!). The place was clean and spacious. Great coffee machine. There were some provisions left by either the owners or other guests.

ItalyThe apartment is spatious and very functional. A lot of kitchenwear, incl a good coffee machine, CDs, books, etc. The deck on the ocean is beautiful, at high tide we were regularly visited by a couole of Grey seals, but it was a nice spot to look at birds (Eiders with chicks, Artic terns, various gulls incl glaucous, redshank, starling, etc etc). The position is great to visit the central/western part of the peninsula.

HungaryThe lack of seperate bedrooms and the relatively small variety of kitchen equipment.
A perfect starting location to visit the beutiful landscape and sights of the peninsula. As its name indicates, a spectecular ocean view, if you are lucky, you can spot some seals and the northern light from the balcony. Roomy, clean, a good choice overall.

United StatesProperty was a little dated but for our short one night stay it was more than fine. Kitchen was decently stocked for making a simple meal! Please note there is no grocery store in this little town, although there is one about 10-15 min drive away, make sure you check the opening hours! Because there’s also no restaurants open too late either!!
The view the view the view!! Come during the summer and be able to sunset and sunrise within hours of each other!! Property was a little dated but had plenty of character with books, games, music! NO TV though for those who it matters!!

United StatesThat we didn’t stay longer!
This was a fabulous apartment! The location right on the water was absolutely amazing! Plus, it is located on the northwest tip of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, making it a perfect resting point if you are driving up from Reykjavik and driving clockwise around the area. The apartment was HUGE! Everything was clean and comfortable. We loved it and hope to come back again someday!
