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 reviewThe house was clean and well decorated. The host was very helpful providing a lot of information we need, such as restirants, gas stations and activities that were popular in the local. The beds were comfortable. The house's located on the hill wherr you can see the whole town. Nice location.
It would be perfect if the bathroom size can be a little bit bigger.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful time here. Gudrun is such a warm and friendly person. We were surprised with delicious waffle batter and jam. The apartment is very well equipped, absolutely nothing is missing, and everything was very clean. We felt very comfortable and would come back again. We wish Gudrun all the best.

Verified reviewOur holiday was incredibly enjoyable, especially thanks to our stay in this lovely and quaint house (the bed were so soft and comfortable), and the breakfast that was offered by our host was delicious (like, hello? Waffles? Amazing!) The host was very kind and hospitable and, if we’ll ever go back to Vik, we’ll definitely know where to stay!
Nothing, everything was perfect

Verified reviewI usually do not give the highest rating, but this accommodation deserves it. Beautiful and clean apartment in a quiet location provided us with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, nice bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. But the best of all is the amazing host Gudrum, who prepared us waffle dough, homemade jam and the best cheese with bacon, which we still can't forget. I highly recommend this apartment and thank you very much for the beautiful place to stay in Vík.

Verified reviewGudrun was a wonderful host. She was responsive and shared information about where to go and what to do in Vik. We loved her delicious homemade rhubarb jam and cheese that she had prepared for us and she even had an Icelandic ice cream treat for my kids. We appreciated these thoughtful and sweet gestures of hospitality. Her apartment was clean, cozy and conveniently located. It was well-stocked with cookies and crackers and the kitchen was also well-equipped as we cooked all our own meals while in Vik.the location was great - short walk to the black beach and church and the lava show was just on the next street. We are so glad we stayed at her guesthouse.
It would be nice to have laundry facilities. But otherwise, it was great.

Verified reviewVery clean and well stocked cottage. Gudrun and Emil are great hosts! They even let us in much earlier than scheduled checkin time. Traveling with toddler, we very much appreciated that. Cottage has everything we needed for our stay. Comfortable linens and pillows. Warm cozy stay.
Walls were thin. We Could hear people talking from the next door apartment.

Verified reviewKitchen was well stocked and the hostess, Gudrun, supplied cookies and homemade waffle batter for our group as well. Place was clean with an excellent location. Gudrun was very friendly and happy to give lots of recommendations for things to do and places to eat.
We had a group of 4 in our own 2 bedroom unit that was part of the guesthouse. However, there is at least one other unit with other guests that shared a wall. We were able to hear them at times (specifically we could occasionally hear a baby through the wall earlier in the evenings). This never kept us awake and didn't take away form the experience so not an issue for our group at all, but may be important for some to know.

Verified reviewThis guesthouse was our favorite place to stay during our almost 2 week trip through Iceland. The guesthouse was clean and fresh, very bright with interesting art pieces everywhere you looked. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, the beds were very comfortable and spacious, nice sized bedrooms with clothing storage options and a location that can't be beat. At night, we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the comfy living room going over the day's events and looking at the photos streamed to the TV. The best part, though, was our hostess. She was so lovely and helpful plus gave us great recommendations for restaurants, shopping and bird watching. She also had made sure that the kitchen was stocked with cookies, crackers, coffee and tea PLUS she gave us waffle batter, homemade jam and homemade cheese. This was hands down one of the best experiences we had during our trip. Thank you!
Nothing!

Verified reviewThe place was extremely charming and well equipped with a full kitchen. Our host provided homemade jam, cream cheese, and waffle mix (we wish we had more time to enjoy them all! Beds were comfy and space was roomy. I liked that we had to take off our shoes before going into the apt— it felt more clean. Appreciated parking right in front of the apt.
Not a complaint but a suggestion to offer sofa vs chairs so we could lounge more. Also, the toilet is close to the sink. We didn’t have an issue but someone with limitations or larger than us might find it tight or difficult to move around in.
