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.).

AustraliaAa product of the water for the entirety of Reykjavík and not just this guesthouse but the water really smells like sulphur.
Comparatively cheap for Reykjavík prices. Conveniently located close to the flybus bus terminal and a short walk to Laugavegur st, one of the main drags in town. We were able to leave our bags at the guesthouse on either side of a 4 day hike which was extremely convenient.

United StatesThe check in instructions were delivered very late, they did not respond to any of my messages on here. The fire alarm went off while we were sleeping because of someone cooking, and there was a very loud group next door. The quiet hours are not monitored well, we had rough sleep
Great location, very walkable, enough for what we needed for an evening.

United StatesThe shared restroom on our floor had a broken toilet seat, which made it a little uncomfortable to use. The shower also only had body wash, so it was a little odd having to use that for my hair.
The guesthouse is only a 7 minute walk from the Main Street and also pretty close to Hallsgrimskirkja. Made it very convenient to walk to stores/restaurants and back.

United StatesThe hot tub was 85 degrees F, fairly dirty (easy to tell with no water moving), and had no instructions for turning on the jets. It also smelled like it was due for a serious shock treatment. We spent 20 minutes trying to trouble shoot it and gave up. The room was tiny. There were no minor details to make you think, "Ok. See? They're trying." Ok. Maybe one... A basket of free food in the entry hall from tourists headed for the airport.
Location is really good. The price was, for Iceland, very good. If you go here at the start of a stay from, say, the US or Canada, you're going to be appalled. "$200 a night for THAT!". At the end of your stay, once you've calibrated expectations and a clearer understanding of the dollar's value you'll be saying, "ONLY $200 a night for ALL THAT."

SwedenRoom and toilets needs some work done. There was one lamp by the bed broken, visible dust layer under the bed. The sink has mixed up cold and warm water- warm water is the one marked as cold and has sulfuric smell to it, don’t drink it! We were very unlucky to share bathroom with some people who left it after themselves like pigs. So going to bathroom was very unpleasant. We even went a floor up, the situation was similar there too. In one of the bathrooms light switch was broken and it looked dangerous to touch it.
Old, Charming property. Very central. Has Parking. Comfortable beds. Sink, kettle and fridge in the room.
