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...).

NetherlandsThe building seems to be old. The hallways were really dark. You have to take your shoes off downstairs. The rooms were a bit old thats all but clean. Our bathroom smelled a bit!
The room was specious! Wifi was great! Kitchen was a big size with everything you needed for cooking. 1min walk across is a nice restaurant and also of course the beautiful Kirkjufell!! The room was clean!

United KingdomTo be honest, I was a little hesitant at first as I had never stayed in a guesthouse before, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my stay. My biggest criteria for booking a room was to have my own bathroom, which I did, and it was clean and well-stocked with fresh towels, hand towels and a bathmat. The room was spacious enough for two people and was warm, fresh, and clean. The fact that everyone had to remove their shoes meant that the floors were always clean and free of mud or stones that could be tracked into the carpets. Iceland is known for being an expensive country, but I was impressed to find that you have a clean and well-equipped kitchen available for all guests to use. It was a fantastic idea, and I appreciated the notices reminding everyone to keep it clean. The kitchen was spotless, and there were new dishcloths and dishtowels available every few hours. The view from the guesthouse was also breathtaking, with a great view of the waterfall and the mountains. It was a truly spectacular sight that I will never forget. Overall, my stay at your guesthouse exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful for the level of service and attention to detail provided by your staff. Thank you for creating a comfortable and enjoyable environment that made my trip to Iceland even more memorable.

SloveniaThe bathroom was a bit older and the shower doors couldnt close properly
the location is perfect as you have the perfect view of the mountain when you cook in the common kitchen. The kitchen as well was very well equipped (spices, oil, vinegar, dry food) and there were some home made knitted sweaters and mittens you could buy. The room was great and lovely and the best things were the very dark curtains - this comes in very handy when you are trying to block the light from april to august. The bathroom was maybe a bit older but everything was working well. I would def recommend it

BelgiumThe view from the yard over Kirkjufell Mountain is amazing if weather allows you to enjoy it. Apartment is spacious and clean. Plenty of parking just in front of the building and shops near by. Kitchenette is a bit old fashioned but does the job and if needed there is a shared kitchen in the building.
