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...).

SwedenI think that the furnishing and appliances/facilities were beautiful but not practical. You notice things like no outlet near the bed, the cables from the kettle and espresso do not reach the outlets.
Staff was lovely, nice welcome, food made us feel healthy. Very good bathroom, unique design. Hidden gem location, the trails south of the farm are phenomenal.

BelgiumThis was so amazing. The location is a dream if you have a car with you, so beautiful and quiet but 15 min from a big city. The food they have is magnificent and mostly produced by them, the rooms are small (as advertised) but very nice. They use their own wood, which makes the rooms look so cute. They had a problem which caused our room to only be ready on the second day, they called us in advance, arranged an alternative (bigger) room on their property in stead for the first night, and offered free breakfast as a compensation. The owners and staff are amazing. Very friendly, very accommodating.

United KingdomKitchen could do with a few more things - toaster, a chopping board and a collandar would have made our meals a bit easier but it has enough to make things work really.
Cute little cottage all to yourself in the middle of nowhere really. Lovely place to stay to really get away from it all, it's on a working farm but in a quiet corner surrounded by trees. Kitchenette is cute and a bit small but (just about) everything you really need. Some of the farm product left on racks to use which always a great addition. Very homely, old world feel to the place. Owners were great - first guests of the season so a couple of things weren't working right after winter but no trouble to sort.

Czech RepublicWe were upgraded to one of the brand new apartments and it was fantastic. The apartment had a spacious kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Everything was new and clean and the room was warm. The hostess was lovely and prepared a delicious dinner out of local products from the farm just for us. The farm is located in a beautiful area by the Lagarfljót lake with lots of trees and amazing nature all around. Bigger town Egilsstadir is only 15min away by car. Nelson the cat was always checking on us:) wish we could’ve stayed longer!

United StatesOur room is not pictured and is nothing like what was pictured- It was older, with a teeny tiny bedroom and teeny tiny bathroom, unnecessarily large kitchen area. Our bed was the least comfortable of all of our 10 Iceland hotel/guesthouse stays- not as firm.
Beautiful surroundings Quiet - restful night’s sleep

United StatesThe staff were wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious! They even bake the bread there and make the pancakes from barley that they grow. They have the sweetest cat named Nelson, and all the people who are working in the greenhouses clearly love what they do. It was just an amazing, wonderful place and I highly recommend it!

United StatesGenuinely, there was nothing we didn’t like. A+ all around.
What a beautiful farm to have the opp to stay on! It was incredibly lovely and peaceful, the staff and owners were so kind and generous with their time in chatting with us (even though they were working), and the grounds were gorgeous - we loved exploring the greenhouses - and the cafe - and food - was a delight. On our last day we did the lovely Monster Walk through the woods, which gave off fairy tale vibes, and met some some friendly and affectionate horses along the way (they were very sweet if not a little demanding for pets and nuzzles :)). We def want to return!

United KingdomWe booked for two nights and wished we could have stayed much longer. This place is a true gem! The host was very kind, professional and gave us plenty of local tips, wonderful! The cabin was incredibly cosy, surrounded by beautiful woods and incredible organic food from the farm. The location is perfectly situated to visit East Fjords of Iceland. We were on a road trip for our honeymoon and stayed across multiple accommodations, this was by far our favourite.
