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 quality of the kitchen and dining area was a great surprise, as were the shower facilities (they have proper cubicles). The free coffee was a bonus too!
Nothing to see here!

Verified reviewOverall, the guesthouse did the job. The room was comfortable, quiet, and had a nice view from the window. The dining room had everything we needed for cooking and eating, and the place was generally clean and peaceful.
On the downside, the shower was outside the room. It didn’t really affect our stay, but it should be made clearer when booking. The price also feels way too high for what it offers – although we know this is quite typical in Iceland.

Verified reviewThe location is good.
The "privet bathroom" does not include a shower. If I had known this, I would have choose a different room.

Verified reviewWe really liked the facility - A good size room, kitchen and spacious dining hall. The owner was very responsive to our request of adding an additional mattress in the room, which really helped us a lot. Since it is very close to Reynisjfara Beach - location is perfect to visit Dyraholaey[Puffin watching] and black sand beach [Basalt column]

Verified reviewOur room was small but very functional. There were several shared bathrooms and showers on the floor and a big kitchen with a large shared dining area. I really enjoyed the shower at the end of the hallway with the view.

Verified reviewThe room was nice and spacious with great views. We liked that the guesthouse requested guest to remove shoes before entering room areas. The common area was great for families with lots of space to relax and have family time. The coffee provided within the common area was excellent.
While the shared bathrooms were clean, it was something we were not used to in the past.

Verified reviewThis place is very close to the Black Sand Beach, and some rooms even have views of this iconic site right outside the window. The rooms and shared bathrooms are very clean, and the communal kitchen is well-organized. There are ten rooms in total — it’s hard to believe that only one girl from the Catalonia region is keeping everything so spotless. Ten mins' drive to the town centre.
It's too pricy considering the facilities.

Verified reviewIt was clean, in a good location and served the purpose.
I booked a room with a bathroom but the sink was insanely small and it didn’t have a shower, which I don’t feel was clearly stated and I wouldn’t have expected at this price point. The walls were very thin (which also meant there were quiet hours). Other, more affordable places had many more amenities… including breakfast.

outdoor area could be tidier! Everything inside was so well kept/mantained and it would make a big difference to have the outdoor match the indoor
