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.).

United StatesWas worried about the number of WC/Showers available but even with an almost full guesthouse, there was rarely a wait. So somehow it all works out.
Helpful staff, comfortable room, great breakfast layout, and lots of information to help you out. They even did our laundry for us on our layover day. Great place. Would stay again!

United StatesOur room was in the basement. There were windows, but there was a damp smell due to the showers. Better ventilation would help, or dehumidifier. Or maybe if there was a tile floor instead of indoor outdoor carpet.
Friendly staff, clean, comfortable. Very good breakfast.

The Guesthouse is perched on top of a hill, so you can see spectacular views. The staff was friendly and even though we shared bathroom facilities, there was never a wait. There was a common area with tables and couches on our floor with tea and a small kitchenette. The small sink and towels in the room made it even more convenient.

RomaniaWhat we didn't like: - The room was a bit smaller and with 2 suitcases in it got crowded really fast. It's ok for short stays, we stayed for 2 nights.
What we liked: - breakfast - they had salmon with herbs and a delicious tuna salad - the house is located outside Selfoss town in a quiet and wild area - no outdoor shoes inside policy to keep the dirt and mud at the door - although there was a guesthouse with shared bathrooms, we had a sink in the room.

The hosts are very friendly and welcoming and charming. The guest house is spacious and well situated, not far from the attractions (glacier, waterfalls, volcano...). The breakfast is copious and hearty, exactly what you need for Icelandic hiking trips and weather. A very nice stay, the best we had in Iceland.
