How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewVery good location in Vik.
Rooms very outdated, concrete balcony outside our upstairs room in bad shape! Breakfast area not large enough to accommodate tables for all guests given the short breakfast period (8:00-9:30am). Signs pasted on walls with all kinds of rules, and the only person from the B&B we saw was the guy setting up breakfast who was not remotely friendly or welcoming.

Verified reviewGood breakfast and location.
As with most things in Iceland, the price is extortionate. 360Euro for one night in a room without a bathroom in a guesthouse that is basically a posh youth hostel is, even by Icelandic standards, ludicous. From what I could gather it was the only room left in Vik and so we didn't have much choice. The guesthouse is nice, but I wouldn't expect to pay more than 120Euro per night for something similar in any other country.

Verified reviewBreakfast was simple, not much to offer in terms of warm food. The room was adequate, clean, and comfortable. The location was great! I think I should have booked for more than one night.
The staff didn't seem super friendly or like he wanted to engage with any of us.

Verified reviewGreat spot with private entrance to our room. We had the private room with bathroom.
Breakfast was a bit boring but theres a little crepe place right outside and is walking distance to the center/restaurants. House rules: Must take shoes off before entering room. I understand it, but dont like it. I have a disablility, and have a hard time with my shoes and I like the comfortability of taking my time from the bed to get them right.

Verified reviewGood position, nice room with view on Vik's church, clean and spacious shared bathrooms.
The kitchen is not actually a kitchen. Only sink, microwave and air fryer. No stove or oven and that was rather inconvenient to cook dinner
