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.).

GeorgiaNothin to complain about, everything was great and the hosts were very kind!
I really loved the Guesthouse 46. The owners are very nice - we had a brief interaction at check-in and then the next morning during check-out and they were very nice and kind. While not necessarily in a tourist hotspot location, the guesthouse has a very nice view over the bay and a deck that can be accessed from some rooms and a living room. We had a twin room which was quite basic but absolutely sufficient with comfortable beds, clean and nice linen and warm blankets. Even though breakfast is not "formally" offered, the hosts had generously offered a selection of delicious jams, honey, butter, bread and juice, which one could use for breakfast. There were clear instructions on how to use everything taped around kitchen and elsewhere. With such nice hospitality, the price was also much more affordable than most other places we've stayed at during our journey. So this place is definitely highly recommended!

United StatesNothing it was great!
This guesthouse felt more like a mini hotel stay. Its very spacious. It is newer construction and very modern and clean feeling. Large kitchen/ dining area. Each right side room has a slider which opens to a lovely deck. We saw whales in the water from our room and a beautiful sunset around 11:30p. Host supplies bread and jam for toast as well coffee and tea. Host is onsite and very friendly. Highly recommended to others traveling the ring road. Book early. For those staying here dont miss Kolugljufur Canyon which is nearby and notso well known. Its BEAUTIFUL! Havitserkur is also a nice destination but much of the drive is gravel so plan your time well.

United KingdomThe rooms were very hot, likely due to the weather for our stay was warmer than average for Iceland, with bright sunshine streaming through windows.
Pleasant location on outskirts of town. Nice bright rooms, ours overlooked the beautiful bay. Decking outside rear rooms, good for birdwatching or enjoy the sunset. We were also fortunate to see a humpback whale feeding in the bay during our stay. Good kitchen/ dining facilities for stay in dinner.

IcelandIt was incredibly hot in the living room (and no temperature regulator to be found). Small room for two people, but no window but rather a big glass door, which is suboptimal if one wants to have some fresh air during the night.
Toast and selection of jams available for the taking in the morning. Friendly host, very tidy and spatious common rooms.
