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...).

United KingdomThis cabin was the perfect place for us to stay – we are not as mobile as we once were – but there was an easy walk down to the lake, and it is perfectly placed for days out further afield and nights spent watching the stars and planets and the northern lights which we saw several nights of our stay - Selfoss is a short drive away where there are plenty of places to buy supplies - the cabin was well stocked with things like salt and condiments which make a self-catering stay so much easier – from the visitor book it looked like most people only stayed a few days but we stayed nearly 2 weeks and really enjoyed our time there. Luke was a super responsive host.

United StatesThe key safe box was very frozen during arrival and departure. With Icelandic winters, it may be a good idea to move the safe box to a more sheltered location out of the wind and ice.
The cabin was very clean and had thoughtful touches to it, such as board games and firewood for the wood stove. The radiators were all turned on to warm up the house for our arrival, which was an unexpected bonus. It was very peaceful and relaxing and we had a great time. The instructions for arrival were very thorough and the host was easy to contact. Very well run cabin.

United StatesThere's nothing not to like!!
I can only say good things about our stay - from way before we arrived, as communication with the owner Luke was the best I've ever had on Booking - he was mega responsive and extremely helpful! The place itself was magical - I could have easily just stayed there the entire four days!! Such a gorgeous place, with great amenities - we really appreciated the kitchen, it was way better than you normally get in holiday lets, and particularly helpful since we made our own food every day (bc the location is rather remote, and also to save money. This worked out perfectly - we also didn't feel like driving anymore after a long day of exploring). The hot tub was huge and such a great thing to have (actually, that was the main reason for me booking this - it was wonderful!). Getting there was easy, parking right by the cabin and you can walk down to the lake. I would 100% recommend this cabin for anyone wanting to explore this part of Iceland!!!!

It’s cosy, the beds are comfortable, and we were really satisfied with the cleanliness, the location, the size, and the quality of the furniture, utensils, appliances and so on, and also with the treatment the host provided to us. Thank you Luke! You’re a great host.

United KingdomNothing really, it was a very cool place to stay!
The cabin was well equipped, modern, cozy and situated in the middle of some stunning scenery. It had great views of snow-capped mountains in the distance and was a few minutes' walk from a beautiful lake (I did a bit of fishing in it). I loved the hot tub! I ran most mornings by the lake, the air was so fresh, and the views were other worldly and heartbreakingly beautiful. If you like nature and being close to it, then this is a great place for you. There was plenty to see in the surrounding area as well and I had good access to a lot of the main attractions in Iceland. The trendy little town of Selfoss is a short drive away and it has some very nice places to eat and do a bit of shopping. It’s also quite straightforward to drive to Reykjavík.

This beautiful cabin has a really nice spacious and modern layout. The cabin has a really well equipped kitchen with generally fantastic facilities. Probably the highlight is the stunning location which is a stones throw of one the most spectacular lakes I’ve ever seen.
