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...).

Austria-Checkin 3km away just to obtain keycode should have been an email like at most other guesthouses. -Power outlets in the room not working - if there was a switch to activate them we did not find it. -Teflon pans with surface coming of should be exchanged.
-Good location close to ring road, yet quiet. -Nice kitchen and common area. -Clean room.

Polandthe walls were very very thin. We had the room at the main door and every time someone opened the door it crashed against our wall and it was very, very loud. There was no possibility to somehow minimise the sound. It wakes you up if you are sleeping.
Nice location of the house, comfortable beds, good kitchen with a tools that one may need

FranceThe place seems a little lost and left to itself at first glance. Despite this, the state of the premises whether the room, the kitchen or the bathroom was impeccable. We cannot remove from this Guesthouse the fact that it is ideally located in relation to any light source at night because it gave us our first opportunity to see the northern lights along the road below. Thank you very much for the stay ! Justine & Paul

United KingdomHands down worst place we stayed at. I think it should be a lot more clear that it is a hostel, as the listing doesn’t really shows it. Bathrooms,toilets and kitchen is shared. The kitchen was stocked up and easy to use but all the pots and pan were very warn and the protective coating was chipping away which is very unhealthy to be used. There was no where to dry your clothes as the radiators are electric so if it rained and you are wet good luck. It was equivalent of a bad uni accommodation. Expensive and very far from anything. If you had a bit more to spend I would absolutely recommend you give this place a miss. We got a two bedroom and hot tub cottage for only 30 pound more so I really regret this booking. The only saving grace was the cleanliness and that it was quiet, but the noise really depends on your luck of what kind of people are staying when you are.

ItalyIt's the first time ever that I have to go personally 3km far away to get the code to open the key box. Furthermore, you have to do that at the reception of a guesthouse that at the same time is also a restaurant with only one person available to listen to you. Price/quality is very very low: the room is so small (only one bed and a little desk) with no place to put any clothes. Doors are very loudly, I woke every time in the morning when someone went out and my sleep is very deep. The reason is also too many people in too little space. Some pots and pans were very old and dirty in the shared kitchen. One shower was not working properly and the water was only super hot, or few times totally cold (impossible to take a shower there). If you want to have the highest price compared to similar places in Iceland, only because of the area, you should provide at least a similar (good) service like the others and not only speculate on the price. Very disappointing.

Italy1 double bed, 2 bedside tables (only 1 with lamp), absolutely no space around the bed to open any baggage, 2 crutches for wardrobe. Quite old shared bathroom. Why do we have to go 4 km further just to receive an handwritten key code on a paper?
Clean and absolutely small room for two people. Comfortable kitchen and parking at the front door.

Small but comfortable room with a nice outdoor view. Good facilities stocked with what I needed. Friendly service from the lady who I collected the key from, she was lovely. Located right near Jokulsarlon & Diamond Beach, super convenient to get to.
