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 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):
- 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.).

Actually it´s a spacious cottage that you only have to share with one other room: quite the luxury, even more for the fair price. Located on a farm, surrounded by animals and two lovely dogs who want to play all the time

This was our best accommodation on our Iceland trip. Excellent in all respects. Comfortable room, shared kitchen, bathroom, lounge, (with one other guest room). Great location on a farm, with two sheep dogs who will chase a ball with you all day.

- • Stayed 2 nights

The towels they give you are pretty cheap and rough to the touch.
Comfortable premises in a beautiful location. If you want to get a taste of the rural north Iceland lifestyle, this is the place to go. This is a family farm with a guest house on property; guest house is inviting, spacious and clean. There are 3 rooms total; you’ll have a room to yourself but might be sharing the bathroom, kitchen and living room areas with another guest. Location is ideal; located within short (15-30 min) driving distance from Husavik and Lake Myvatn. Loved waking up to see sheep and ponies grazing around the property. Hosts are lovely people who are responsive but give you your space. Beds are comfortable.

One of the best stays we had in Iceland. This was a house clearly already before they made it an accommodation so its equipped with everything you need. The kitchen was complete, washing machine and comfortable beds. They have two dogs that will keep you busy when you're outside :)

unfortunately, we never meet the owner. what is normally no problem at all. but the owner told us to say hallo. what did not happened. but the place is super anyways.
we really enjoyed to stay in this apartment. it is very clean and is surrounded by nature and horses. we also loved the nice shampoo (product of Iceland) that’s was used in the bathroom. it was one of the best places we stayed in Iceland so far. even if you have to share the bathroom / kitchen. we were lucky and had nice neighbours.

- • Group

The room is rather small, but since we were the only ones staying it was ok, as there is a large living area and good sized kitchen.
The location is a bit removed from everything, but that is the appeal. If you have a car, you can easily reach tourist spots. We were fortunate as we were the only guests staying there, and had the wonderful living space and the kitchen all to ourselves. Unfortunately, it was raining most of the time, but there is a wonderful deck where you could sit, sunbathe, do yoga, BBQ. The views from any window are soothing over the owner's farm land. The kitchen is amazingly stocked with anything you could need to cook your food. Everything is nice and clean. We had full food supplies with us and this was just a dream kitchen and place to hang out. There is no TB available - but that is really a plus given the nature aspect and beautiful views. There are also a various books and games for guests to use. A beautiful spot.

Nothing.
Everything. Basically this is a house with two bedrooms separately rented. It has everything you would expect to find in a house - full size kitchen/diner, large lounge, utility room, washing line, veranda - all fully equipped. Assuming you don't have an offensive co-renter, this is the by far the best guesthouse we have seen in a fortnight in Iceland. Additionally it is easily found in a stunning valley. It also has two friendly dogs. Two couples or a small family could stay here in great comfort indefinitely. Finally, in terms of British prices, it represents very good value for money. In comparison with typical Icelandic prices, it is unbelievably good value.

Nothing. We really enjoyed our stay!
My husband and I really enjoyed our short stay here! The price was unbeatable for the facilities. Location was rural but right off the ring road, had no issues with traveling to or from and plenty of parking. The guesthouse was large, very clean, the owner was very kind. Their house is right next door if you need anything. Beautiful surroundings with some horses and sheep. We hope we can stay again for longer next time!
