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 reviewLocation was good. Liv was helpful and accommodating especially providing a small gift for the traveller.
Didn't expect to have to pay in cash. One of few power points not working. Stairs to rooms need some repairs and room locks could be upgraded. The accommodation has clearly seen better days, rooms need something of a makeover.

Verified reviewThe location is great, walking distance from almost anywhere around Tórshavn. The kitchen had the necessary tools to cook (but a microwave would have been very useful). For a few days I was the only guest at the house so I had all for myself :) everything was clean, towels, big rooms. The host Lív is very nice.
There was some bathroom renovation going on. I was out of the place for most of the time but some guests might have felt not so comfortable. The steps towards the apartment might need some maintenance.

Verified reviewThe location is very nice
I opened one cabinet just to find a lot of cobweb, dust and also a dead bug. The rooms are so not soundproof, I heard every single thing that happened in the house which kept me awake or woke me up. On the third night a new guy came to the accommidation and he had the room next to mine... well he came in at 2am in the night and started trying to open up my door between 2-4am and I just felt very unsafe so I had to move accommodation, resaulting in a quite costly trip. I know the people that stay here are not the places faukt, however the locks are old, you can hear every single thing and if there is someone untrustworthy or agressive staying there the place just feels so so sooo unsafe..

Verified reviewThe kitchen was nice. The pantry was well stocked and I was able to start my day with a good breakfast every day. The location was the best part, as I was in the center of town and I could also get to the bus station easily.
One night water leaked through the ceiling of my room

Bed was broken, mattress was not comfortable. Faroe Islands is a cold country, could do with a better blanket or duvet.

Verified reviewLiv's guesthouse is fantastic for a few days stay. The location is perfect just 5 minutes to what i think is the main street with shops, atm, grocery and restaurants. The room is quite basic with a single bed and duvet but it is really warm ang comfy. I can imagine though that a much taller, bigger person than me (5'1") might not be as comfortable. The walls are thin you can hear everything from the next room and the kitchen. It was ok for me as i understand it's a sharing accomodation and we have to compromise but it could be difficult to sleep if people are making food late at night..i suggest bringing earplugs. The place is super clean. Quiet neighborhood. Free bus around town center.

Verified reviewThe location is perfect. Just 5 min to the harbour and 2 supermarkets. The room is very big but empty, there could be a lot of easy optimization
You could improve the room so much so easily. Just take 20€ more per night and buy a kingsize bed, longer duvet, a small wardrobe and a proper table

Verified reviewThe location was handy for buses, shopping, sightseeing, and the harbour. The upstairs flat is all on one level with comfortable beds and a large bathroom and kitchen. The apartment is very warm.
A microwave would be a great addition.

Verified reviewLoved the upstairs flat with a great kitchen area with fridge and kettle. The bed was comfortable, and the flat was lovely and warm. The location is close to the bus routes, which are free around town. The harbours are a short walk away.
There is no bedside table with light.

Verified reviewThe appartment is in the city centre, 5 min walking from the ferry and bus station and all shops/restaurants, in a quite street surrounded by a nice kids garden. The room is spacious and comfortable, with the possibility to lock your door. The kitchen is very well equipped, with all cooking facilities and essential basic necessities (salt, sugar, oil, etc.). Very fonctionnal bathroom. The appartment is really clean. Liv is an excellent host: she replies to everything in real time and she takes care about your stay and your needs.

Verified reviewRoom was clean, bathroom was clean too. Liv is very friendly and she helped me with all my questions. Location is perfect - 3 minutes of walk from ferry station and Tinganes. Kitchen has everything you need except microwave oven.
Cash only payment. Liv has multiple accomodation offers on Booking and AirBnb, I think it's worth to buy terminal for cashless payments and move to 21st century :) On the other side, ATM is 2 minutes of walk from this accomodation so it's not a huge deal, but still it's not so convenient as card payment. I missed microwave oven in shared kitchen.
