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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Czech RepublicThe faucet in shower was stuck and had to use force to turn it. Even then the water was really hot.
Lovely hotel surrounded by mountains. Hot tubs are not the newest but the view makes up for it. One of the most comfortable beds I slept in while in Iceland. Breakfast had tasty waffles.

IcelandAmazing views from the Guesthouse, we could see the glacier and also some horses. The staff were amazing! We were welcomed by smiles and the smell of fresh baked cookies. I had a fall during my trip and the girls were amazing, trying to help anyway they could. Shoutout to Zuzana and Kamila, thank you for your sweetness and all your help.

SloveniaGreat service and breakfast! The rooms were clean and very comfortable. But the best part is the location as it is located right next to a glacier that you can visit with a 4x4 vehicle.

GermanySomeone needs to fix the front door, when entering the main building, as it is hard to close (building, where 208 is).
This is a small guesthouse, close to the glaciers, in a quiet area. I work in the hospitality industry and I must say that I was extremely pleasantly surprised by my stay. The room is cosy and warm, clean and with a great shower. If you are looking for a place close to Höfn but also Jökulsárlón, then this is the perfect place for you. You are in the middle of both places and the prices are much more reasonable than in either of the other places. I cannot recommend this place enough! It is a fantastic guesthouse that has all bases covered & the perfect price-value-ratio! But please do not come here and expect a 5 star hotel - it is not.

United KingdomIt is in a isolated location so if the hotel restaurant is closed you need to visit the near by town for dinner.
The location is perfect , good breakfast. Clean tidy rooms with gorgeous view of the nearby glacier. Perfect place to see northern lights. We saw northern lights from the room itself. Bed was comfortable and room was soundproof. In the cost included you can enjoy the hot tubs as well

United StatesI mean, it’s out in the countryside on a farm, so we get that there are bugs. We had cluster flies (house flies) crawling on us in the night, so that was unpleasant.
The cabin itself was beautiful, in a great location for seeing dark skies. We didn’t use the hot tub or sauna bc we arrived so late. Would have been fun.

United KingdomThe room was slightly echoey (not much they can do about that lol) Breakfast was yoghurt, toast, waffles, cereal, meats, cheese and fruit. It was nice but it seemed a bit boring and maybe sparse as it was laid out across a big room. I’m not sure just something missing. To be fair tho the hotel we had been at before had disappointing rooms but brekkie was fab with hot options & cake 😁
Lovely bedroom with kettle & tv. Lovely bathroom. Over looked the farm with the horses and was close to diamond beach and glacier cave tours. Staff friendly. Good big car park.

Czech RepublicThe hot tubs are relly worn out, being just fish tanks in ground with laminate peeling off. However with the wonderful view you get satisfied. It is also a 2 minutes drive from the guesthouse, but if you are not worried about driving in a batrobe, then it is fine
Hoffell Guesthouse is located in very wonderful area with views to glaciers. Rooms are simple but looking good, so is the bathroom. Very good breakfast. Free access to the hot tubs that are located nearby.

United KingdomReception hours should be longer (8-9.30am-only open while breakfast is served) and it wasn't clear how to check in when we arrived. The nearest food establishments are 30 minute drive away in Höfn, so we had planned to do some self-catering- unfortunately we were not permitted to use the kitchen facilities, both in and out of reception opening hours.
Amazing location, spacious rooms, spotless bathroom. Very good breakfast buffet. The on site hot tubs are a great bonus.
