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.).

Website mentions kitchenette, but only coffee maker and toaster are there.
The one bedroom apartment with ocean view had truly an awesome view. Well furnished, neat and very clean. Note that you have to climb up a flight of stairs with your bags, and it's in a different house than the main hotel. Breakfast was good as well. Very friendly staff.

Really appreciated front desk clerk recommendations, walking the nearby sea wall and seeing a seal eat his dinner. Great dinner service and breakfast and unique accommodation in the church.
Modern and cozy hotel right at the water. Single room was tight but certainly enough to move around, unpack and bathroom was totally sufficient. We also enter the church to accommodate a few of our group, and it was spectacular! We had a lovely evening hanging out in the living area after dinner at the hotel restaurant which one of best dinners we had in Iceland.

Not a critcism but it is important to know that the bathroom facilities are upstairs in the old choir loft and that the stairs are quite steep. Older people or small children or people with limited mobility should know this going in
Amazingly quirky accomodations and everything we were told they would be. We sent photos to all our friends and rave out our stay there to everyone

It is rather a glorified B&B with a resto and a bar. The room had ventilation problems. Moist windows. The shower was good but very small. The bathroom window has no blinds. The people walking on the beach and parking could look into the bathroom and see you which they did. A problem esp. when you are taller than 1.65m and you come out of the shower. Also people outside can look right into your bedroom if you do not let the bedroom curtains shut. We were on the 2nd floor. The 'hotel' does not have good sound insulation. You can hear toilets flushing and showers not only from next door but also from other rooms. This starts at 07:15. Also someone felt the urge to shower in the middle of the night . No TV in the room although there is a dedicated place on the wall for it. No water cooker for tea and no deca coffee in the room. No elevator. The 'hotel' has 2 floors but the stairs are not very steep and are wide.
Authentic icelandic big house. Nice interior design in the common area of the 'hotel'. Spacious nice common area. Friendly and helpful receptionist who was also the bartender, restaurant manager/waitress. Simple but good breakfast. Nice location near the beach. Clean and tidy.
