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 KingdomIf I could change something I would ask for better curtains as there was a gap on the side and the sun light would hit my face early in the morning.
Friendly staff, very good breakfast. We saw the northern lights through the window of our room!!!

United KingdomI didn't have enough time to spend here. There is a discrepancy between the website and booking.com on the max number of occupants resulting in me booking 1 family room and a cottage when for a small extra charge we could all have stayed in one room.
Beautifully decorated, cottages were very pretty too. Very comfortable and a great spot for bird watching straight out of the window. Like most places in Iceland cosy war.

SpainThe room where you can get free coffee and water opens very late on mornings, so we left without having the opportunity to use this facility. Rooms are very small.
It is very well located, very near to Urridafoss.

United KingdomRoom is a bit cramped to walk around. Shower could be a bit more presentable. Cleaning staff knocked on the door and immediately entered the room without waiting for our response, we were still in bed (this was an hour before checkout time).
Good location if you need to stay somewhere after doing the Golden circle or South coast. Comfortable beds, nice view. Free coffee, tea and chocolate etc.

PolandWe had 4-person room (not in the main building) and it was definitely too small for 4 adult people. We hadn't enough place for our luggages.
Hotel in the middle of nowhere but it makes this location very nice (fields, horses etc. around). Very friendly staff, nice common areas, free tea and coffee all the time.

ItalyThe cottages are very small (both the bedroom and the bathroom). We had to leave part of our luggage in the car due to the lack of available space.
The cottage was new, clean and quite well equipped (including roller shutters that allowed to have a dark environment even in Iceland!). Very nice view from the room. The staff was very kind and helpful. The structure provides also a restaurant and a shared rest area equipped with board games and darts, usable for free. Complimentary coffee and hot beverages for the guests that stay in the cottages. Kettles available on request, free of charge.

PortugalWe had a very small room for four, located in a basement. Not that we were expecting any luxury, but for the cost they charge (even condidering Icelandic prices) the room should be better.
The landscape and the integration in it. A beautiful and relaxing place in the countryside. The staff was very kind. Good breakfast.

CyprusBreakfast was a bit limited for 16 eur but then again everything is expensive in Iceland! The quality of the spread was very good though.
It was a great stay in the middle of nowhere! Situated within a vast property surrounded by green pastures and horses, it was beautiful inside and out! Rooms were small but cosy and beautifully decorated (very unexpectedly modern considering the location). There were even earplugs, eye shades and hotel slippers offered!! The room had a gorgeous view of the property with vast greenness all around. The price of the room was very reasonable at 150 eur compared to other accommodations in the region. Great value for money, highly recommended!!!
