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...).

PortugalI think that this property met all our expectations.
The location of the property was outstanding! We arrived late in the afternoon with blowing snow and cold. We woke up to a sunny day with a fantastic view of Mt. Kirkjufell through our windows. The village of Grundarfjordur is small but lovely. Cleanliness and comfort were features of the property; the kitchen was well equipped.

The 2-bedroom apartment located at the ground floor and was quite, clean and comfortable. Even though the kitchenette in the apartment looks small, but it was well-equipped for us to make meals. The location was great to visit the nearby famous places. Overall, our family enjoyed the stay and would highly recommend this guesthouse.

United KingdomCould have a little more personality but for a one night stay, absolutely no issues.
Incredible location, definitely the selling point of this hostel. The building and corridors are a little clinical, rooms are basic but good and the kitchen is really well stocked with an incredible view from the dining area.

United StatesSome improvements that would not be difficult: Shower needs a lip around it to keep the water where it belongs or supply a floor squeegee to dry the floor more quickly. 5 ppl showering..a lot of wet floor despite being careful. Also would suggest adding a mirror in a commons area or in the bedrooms: we were 5 ppl and had to share a bathroom mirror. We didn't have enough hot water for 5 ppl to shower. I don't know if this was because I pulled the "card" near the door to turn off all the lights as we left? Or if we shared a water heater?
Location is perfect! View is amazing! Also a perfect little kitchenette for our needs..nice details! Indoor access felt much more secure. It was also quiet; we had neighbors in the rental but never heard them. Black out curtains were wonderful. Personnel met us and showed us to the apartment, very responsive and were willing to work with us on our arrival time. :)
