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.).

ItalyThe structure furniture is quite outdated, although essential. We had dinner at the hotel, i would say not among the best ones considering peers. Price/value of the structure below the average considering the other farm/hotels we have been during the ring road trip.
Definitely the waffles in the buffet breakfast, only place where we found the machine to do them. Even if we did not have private bathroom, the structure has a good ratio of common ones / people, so that it feels like it is almost private. Common bathrooms are ample and well cleaned. Staff is very kind and helpful. Billiard table and hotel hall open until late provide some activity in the long lonely nights in the midst of icelandic solitude.

CanadaRoom and common areas were very cold. Needed a bath mat as the bathroom was very small and when showering it splashed all over floor. No one wants wet socks and we only had so many towels for personal use.
It was a lovely location just off Highway 1 and close to Hvitserjur attraction. The mountains and horse farm next door were beautiful The food, especially breakfast and the coffee were wonderful..

United StatesIt looks like it could be an abandoned building a bit from the outside. The doors are very difficult to lock and unlock. It is far down a dirt road.
The checkin was smooth and the dinner was good! The horses wandered up just outside the window of the dining room while we had tea both at night and in the morning.

United KingdomIt’s a curious place!… a hostel-hotel (most rooms have use of a communal bathroom) that is pretty tired looking. The main room (“bar”, dining area, pool table) feels a bit like a cavernous church hall. We were the only people staying (and the owners live separately in a small house) so it felt a bit odd - especially when we turned up to an empty place and had to phone so someone came over. Check in is not until 5pm (but they came to let us in when we arrived at 3.45). Compared to other places we stayed in Nth Iceland this felt expensive for the standard of accommodation.
The two guys that run this place have apparently taken it on in the last couple of years and are very enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. There is a pool table in the main “hall” area. And the breakfast was delicious (there’s a waffle maker!) Dinner can also be provided but you need to give 48hrs notice
