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 StatesThe path to the cabin was dark and we arrived late so it was hard to make out but not impossible
Cozy well equipped cabin with as much or as little to do as you want! Surrounded by nature and wonder, but close to Husavik. Could stay at the property and use a boat on the lake, fish, bird watch, soak in the hot tub, etc., It is even possible to walk or drive to town to eat, shop, go to Geo Sea spa or JaJa Ding Dong bar and Eurovision museum. Had a great time and the hosts are lovely and very helpful- we were not smart about how to work the temperature of the shower and they came over to show us!

United StatesOur front door lock was difficult to manage with a "finicky" key....especially late at night in the dark. This really needs to be replaced. There were hot tubs available for free use, but only if you wanted to share with others. They were always in use. They were in a nice spot and lit up at night. A nice amenity, but unpractical for our personal preferences.
The cottage was really amazing and well equipped. We didn't cook, but I could see that everything you would need was there. It had a beautiful view out the front of the Fjord, and I could see by the comments written in the guest book that the well marked trails were worthwhile for bird watching and just hiking. For our purposes, it was perfect. We were looking for a location near Myvatn without the high price of a touristy hotel. Highly recommended.

United KingdomOur host were wonderful. I made a mistake with the booking and got the days wrong but our host was fantastic and flexible and was accommodating to my error. We had done a lot of site seeing in the week before and the cottage was fab to have a few days to relax before heading home. Husavik is also a lovely little town.

Poland- I was not able to meet anyone from the crew during my stay to ask about some things. Need to do that via app - The house inside is pretty old
- Stunning view - You can't be closer to nature - Possibility to take a hot bath outside - You can take a small boat - Grill in each house

United KingdomNothing: this place is heaven Although if you want a spacious room and big shower / shiny bathroom this isn’t for you!
Amazing spot… cosy log cabins dotted around an extensive estuary-side area with little wooded paths and great views across to snow-topped mountains (in May!) There are 3 hot tubs around the site: amazing to sit in peace and enjoy the tranquility and views Also an astonishing variety of bird life The cabin was super cosy and especially loved the feather duvets Excellent info sent by hosts in advance

IsraelThe hot water in the cabin (and specifically in the shower) are geothermal water- and smell so due to sulfur. The bathroom is small but for us as a couple it didn’t really bother.
Beautiful cozy wood cabins. Best environment & equipped with all the necessities. Location was great, 2 minutes drive from the center of Husavik.
