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 reviewThis hotel was wonderful. The very best part of our stay was the communal dining. We ate a delicious 3-course meal for dinner and sat with guests from Switzerland, Poland and Australia. The conversation was lively and the setting was in front of a picture window with an incredible view of the sea and sunset. We had a delicious breakfast with a family from Spain and again, the conversation was delightful and the food, delicious. We experienced both guest buildings - one room in each - and both were so nice. The beds were comfortable and our partial sea view was nice. The location was great for walking the birding trail on both sides of the river. We were there right before the Arctic Tern migration and they were so much fun to watch.
The pillows were a bit too puffy - one of us slept using a folded t-shirt to avoid back pain. It was also quite warm in our room. I wish we had known beforehand that we would need to take our shoes off for meals (for our rooms, too, but that didn't matter). My feet were so cold during dinner and I would have brought slippers (or at least worn socks!). Maybe the guesthouse could offer inexpensive branded slippers to guests as part of the cost of the stay?

Verified reviewWonderful location, beautiful dinner (cooked by a talented chef on site), very comfortable rooms. Breakfast was delicious, the fresh bread was a great treat. It was such a quiet place situated right on the beachfront - falling asleep listening to the waves was a huge highlight.

closest room to the kitchen -- a bit noisy until everyone went to sleep, but wasn't noisy till late felt like there was a line to the shared bathrooms in the evening, their huge, but mb better to have a small toilet also (not just joined shower/bath and toilet)

Verified reviewNice, quiet seaside setting with very friendly and accommodating staff. Very comfortable and modern room in one of the cottages. The dinner at a communal table was excellent and a highlight of our stay, as the meal was delicious and the international dinner company most enjoyable. And the breakfast is outstanding. A great place to stay while exploring the northern area of Iceland.
This is a small town, so not much going on as far as entertainment and might not be the best place for kids. But a relaxing area that gave a feeling of authenticity of life in northern Iceland.
