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...).

BulgariaThe place was amazing, probably the best throughout our trip. It has a great story, it offers a lot of information not only for the hotel but also the area and interesting facts about Iceland. As we arrived, the woman at the front desk informed us that she has already prepared our breakfast and it is in the fridge in our room. And what a breakfast! It was very diverse and delicious. The room offered a lot of ammenities and a great view. The bathroom was supposed to be shared, but as we were only two couples at the time with two bathrooms on the floor, it felt as if it is just for us. And the bathroom itself was renovated, modern, very warm, clean and had everything you need. The best part was that the hotel was near a beach with a small dock and with almost no lights around we had the most amazing aurora view! I highly recommend this place while travelling around Iceland!

AustraliaNothing!
This guesthouse was comfortable, inviting and beautifully furnished. The rooms were modern and spacious, and while the host was kind enough to upgrade me to a double room (given I was staying at a quiet time) I saw my originally booked room and it was also spacious, with its own table & fridge. The house was kept very clean, as well, so I felt really comfortable using the shared bathroom. The location was beautiful, with a gorgeous view of the lake from my room, and the jacuzzi out the back was a welcome surprise and a great way to relax after a big day of exploring. Given how small a town this is, there was little light pollution and I was lucky enough to see the northern lights from the beach across the road. The local restaurant served delicious food as well! The host was very friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast served was delicious and great value for money. I wish I could have stayed for longer!

RomaniaI absolutely enjoy the location of the house, on the shore of the fjord and in a peaceful part of the city. It is a great option if you are looking to chase the northern lights as well. Also, the hot tubs are amazing. Thank you for that. It is my second time staying here so I guess this basically sums up everything. And I would definitely return!

United KingdomCouldn't fault it.
A warm welcome from a family run business. We were given a cabin with a good selection of extras... kettle, microwave, toaster and fridge. It was spotlessly clean. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels provided. Own bathroom with shower. Good ventilation, so we could sleep in cooler fresh air as desired. Close access to the beach, a supermarket and a fuel station. It represented excellent value for money.

FranceWhen all the rooms are full, the common room might be a bit small
The host was great, very nice and warm. It is the only place in Iceland where we really felt welcomed and made to feel good. It was the best mattress we had during our stay (10 nights) They have horses and invited us to tag along to pet and feed them when we asked, and you can book a riding tour with them if you are interested Kitchen was fully fonctional with all you need to cook proper meals or just have a snack (oven, cooking top with more than 2 burners, toaster, good coffee machine, etc..). No cooking oil however. The binucolars were a lovely touch, and the ocean view is amazing. If you like animals and nature you will love it here, they have a lovely patio with tons of plants and a couple of sweet rabbits, and a small and very friendly dog (Hi Loki, we miss you!). It is a small but charming town in Iceland

We were there in huge winter snowstorm. Everything we planned to do was inaccessible. Still, we were comfortable and kept ourselves entertained. The location is gorgeous...evenn blanketed in snow.
