Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

The guesthouse is very close to Selfoss a 10 min drive from the city.The guesthouse has a restaurant and a good lounge area with a tv and indoor games like table tennis, snooker, foosball and board games, which makes up for not having a tv in the rooms.The staff is very friendly,the room is well equipped and access to tea/coffee/drinks is free at the lounge area.

United KingdomI didn't want to leave.
I booked a cottage at Hotel Vatnsholt for my week in Iceland. It's a perfectly isolated location so very quiet, but close enough to the touristy stuff if that's what you want. I saw the northern lights four times in a week without having to leave the grounds of the hotel. Staff were very friendly and the food was top drawer, especially the fish. The perfect place to unwind. I will be back.

SpainWe reserved a room with private WC because it makes us feel more comfortable. Our room was so cozy, the bed very comfortable and we loved the bathroom, as we always prefer having a private one and in this case was so nice. Also the breakfast was so yummy and we could see many northern lights from inside our own room!! Which was so wonderful. If we come back to Iceland someday (hopefully) for sure we will repeat in this hotel!

ItalyRoom was basic and bathroom really tiny
Clean and good value for money, ok for one night stay. The guy who checked us in was really nice and professional, he was also present at the Guesthouse restaurant (which is actually very good, we recommend it!) and was kind enough to give us two bowls and spoons so we could have breakfast in our room since we had to leave early and we couldn’t make it for the breakfast served at the Guesthouse. The common area is very nice to relax/ watch tv/ play games.
