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.).

AustraliaDisappointing that there are no towels. This is a basic requirement that should be included. There was also no one to ask for one when we arrived.

Good value, relatively inexpensive. Beautiful, quiet area. Self check in, painless process.

CanadaNo staff on site, but this is common it seems for the guesthouses in Iceland. Still, as a solo female traveler there were only 3 other men staying there and they were drinking. I'll stress that nothing inappropriate happened and they were respectful but being that the place is very isolated it wasn't a great vibe and I spent most of my time in my room.
Fantastic location, very interesting drive. Place met every need (though kitchen seemed a little sparse on some utensils). There was a nice common area and I believe they even had a shelf full of board games etc. for some entertainment. Plus wifi...

RomaniaSome windows and doors are quite old and could use an upgrade. Also, the beds were not that comfortable.
Clean accomodation with everything you expect to have. The road to get here is a gravel road and it is a little bit long, but the scenery you see on the window is worth it. We were lucky and in the morning in which we checked out we were able to see some whales in the water which was an amazing bonus!

United StatesRooms have very thin walls. Not a problem for us, but we overheard neighbors complaining about snoring from the next room over (it wasn’t us!). Gravel road would be a tricky drive in winter, but fine in summer.
Lovely location at the end of a fjord. Very quiet outside. Beds were comfortable, including bunk beds. Can easily accommodate large groups and good common spaces.

Best of Best location we have stayed in Iceland. The way toward the guest house is bit tricky due to gravel road (not F-road). the speed limit is 20-30 KM/Hr. There is a chance you might get flat tire (We saw one guy had it). Be prepared.

United StatesThe views this place has just getting there are amazing. It is off the beaten path, so we had no idea what we were going to see before we got there. Just make sure you take the switchback slowly. I took a walk down to the opening of the ocean. It was so beautiful.

United StatesI know this is outside of the hosts control but the other guests were loud and kept soaking the bathroom floor. The guesthouse had a weird strong odor. The rooms were very tight and the beds were very uncomfortable. The guesthouse was a challenge to get to. I would recommend a 4x4. If it had rained or snowed, we likely could not have driven up the very steep gravel road out of the fjord.
The surrounding area is pretty.
