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.).

United StatesVery minor thing: Although we understand why (keeping the house clean as it was wet outside), taking off our shoes in the entry was cumbersome since we were always wearing hiking boots.

PanamaWe love the breakfast. Hosts make sure that we had enough and they were attentive until we finish eating. The breakfast has everything, cereals, seeds, pancakes, eggs, bread, meats, and so on. The place could be seen as little and simple but the truth is that once you are in, the ambient is very cozy, nice, clean and comfortable. Another thing is that is near from everywhere between the city, golden circle or if you need to go to the beach. Please not hesistate when the rooms are available. We really enjoy the sauna also!!! My family and I went to 3 different types of stays> cottage, hotels and houses in Iceland but this will keep in our hearts!!!

BelgiumUnfortunately as comments state below, the hot tub and sauna are not hot/warm :( this meant that we were not really able to take advantage of the facilities during our stay. We kindly suggest that the hosts fix these, as this is one of the primary attracting factors of the location.
VERY cute accommodation, set on the outskirts of Selfoss and within easy reach of major sites. Hosts were very kind and helpful in providing tips. They were also reachable in case of questions or requests. As the comments say, the temperature is centrally controlled. When we asked the hosts, they turned up the heat for us.

GreeceSuper cozy hotel, it felt like the hosts welcomed us in their house! It was really cute and the room was clean and comfortable. They have a kitchen that you can use in a common area 24/7 and the breakfast was just amazing! Also they have sheep outside and they give you bread to go out and feed them! Didn’t try the hot tub though, wish I can come back to do so.

Hungarythe sauna was not very hot, i think it is not well insulated. luckily everyone was very mindful during our stay but you can hear very loud when someone is walking in the corridor
the breakfast was delicious! the hot tub was also very nice (and we were the only ones using it so basically it was a private hot tub for us ! ) the hosts were very very friendly, they even helped us plan the activities for the next day!

United StatesThe bathroom floor was very slippery when water would leak out of the shower surround. My husband actually slipped and fell during the night. Maybe an extra floor towel or bath rug would be helpful. Extra hooks in bathroom to hang wet bathing suits after the hot tub.
We travel extensively for work and pleasure. This was our first stay in a guesthouse in Iceland. We were satisfied with our room and private bathroom. The beds were comfy and there was a small desk and closet cube to hang coats. We had space on the floor for our backpacks (luggage). The hot tub was amazing!! The spa was also very nice. Breakfast was good.
