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...).

Czech RepublicOur group was family reunion of 9ppl and we were quite noisy until 1:30 am. We knew we have whole house for us and there is no another guest but there was staff living there and no one complained or tell us we should be quiet or go sleep so we really enjoyed time there. Beds were comfortable and kitchen very good equipped. Beautiful view as well.

United StatesMattresses weren't terribly comfy, but nothing that would stop you from having a good night's sleep.
Absolutely beautiful location (especially when you get a sunny, clear day). Well-situated for exploring Westfjords. Stefan is a very gracious host. One of the few hostels I've stayed at where all the guests seem intent on keeping a very calm and peaceful atmosphere. Definitely a mutual understanding that we all need good sleep to get through all of our adventures.

SpainNothing the host could have influenced. We were rather unlucky with the weather, and strong winds and rain were not the best conditions for a camping trip, even a luxurious one. Fortunately, the sun was out when we arrived the previous evening, so we had the chance to appreciate the Westfjords in all their glory.
The host was extremely friendly and helpful. We had rather poor weather over night, and he advised us on the forecast for the day and the best and safest route for our next leg of the journey (including nice breaks and places to go for lunch). He was further flexible to book us in for breakfast the next morning. Given the remote location, it is great to have that opportunity. We booked the tents, and it was one of the most comfortable camping experiences. Naturally, no camping trip comes with all the comforts of a hotel room, but with the spacious tent, small coffee maker, heater, real mattress beds, and small touches such as the eye mask to block out the sun, it came pretty close.

IndiaThe bathroom could have been cleaner and brighter. I can understand the perks of using a shared bathroom facility, but I was still expecting a better-conditioned one. The toilet upstairs was clean, though.
I like the location; mountains and a cosy valley beautifully surround it. The host was friendly and greeted us even though we were late to arrive. The kitchen was fully equipped and was perfect for making meals. The dinning are was spacious too.

GermanyAbsolutely everything was great.
What a fantastic place! A beautiful, secluded location in a valley in the West Fjords of Iceland. I would have loved to stay here longer but could only stay for one night. This house has so much atmosphere! I was told it is over 100 years old. Very friendly staff and had some great conversations with Páll. Well-equipped kitchen and very comfortable bed.

MexicoI was the only one guest in this hostel that day. It was incredible experience, the owner is a very kind person and he told me about the story of the guesthouse, it's a very remote place in the Westfjords, this was my second time in Iceland but my first time in the Westfjords, and I loved my days in the remotest part of Iceland. Hopefully to visit the Westfjords someday again, and if I do it I will back to this accommodation again!

TaiwanI can't think of any drawbacks, except that it's a bit remote to go to Western Fjords.
The view outside the accommodation is truly unbeatable, surrounded by mountains. It's probably the best hotel of our Iceland trip. The cabin is really cozy and well-equipped.
