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 country feel was good.
Disappointing 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.

Verified reviewBest 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.
Nothing. Everything was perfect. I would stay again.

Verified reviewCosy guesthouse in a tiny settlement at the edge of the fjord. Great location to get away from everything and relax in nature. Facilities are basic, but you have everything you need.

Verified reviewWe liked a lot the location : even if it is difficult to access to the hostel, it worth driving there. this is the most beautiful fjord we discovered (and we were amazed when we crossed the mountain pass to reach the place). My son and I enjoyed the family room size. Facilities are enough for the occupants (kitchen, separated toilets & showers rooms) and the kitchen is well equiped. Very clean and quiet place with mountain or lake view. Free parking of course. Good wifi. Easy check-in/check-out but without meeting any staff
Iceland price = pricey. Old fashioned décoration/furniture but in good condition.

Verified reviewThe Location was just amazing. The road to reach the place is adventurous but for us it was manageable, even with a small citycar 2WD in rainy conditions. Amazing experience. The views of the fjord were just stunning.

Verified reviewClean, Clean linens and towels, hot shower water, beautiful location to drive there but it’s remote, so better to go before getting dark or foggy else the road could be scary as I wasn’t able to see any road while on the mountains
Kitchen could be more equipped, My room was near to washroom where one can hear continuous sounds if someone uses the bathroom,

Verified reviewThe 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.

Verified reviewThe landscape and the view
It was a 36 km gravel road. Not easy access

Verified reviewGood value, relatively inexpensive. Beautiful, quiet area. Self check in, painless process.
Lack of any food or dining options locally. While a map at the property shows local hikes, we were unable to find any established trails or signage in the area.

Verified reviewThe surrounding area is pretty.
I 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.

Verified reviewThis had everything I needed :)
This isn't the most modern place. This was in fact the oldest and not so modern stay out of 14 of my stays in Iceland for different days but wasn't bad either. It had everything I needed so nothing to really complain.
