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 reviewThe guesthouse is about 30 minutes from the Dettifoss. Very clean - people take their outside shoes off at the entrance, pretty large common/dining room with the nicely stocked kitchen with the fridge+freezer, comfortable beds, 3 bathrooms with heated floors (seems like brand new). There was an older couple, 2 other families with children, and a couple of women travelers, very quiet. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We loved everything

Verified reviewNice kitchen,but a bit small for so many people. Good size of room and showers were in a good condition.
It was noisy - a big group of people stayed with us and they were loud.

Verified reviewGood sized room, comfy beds and clean. Shared bathroom and kitchen facilities but all were clean and well maintained, didn't have to wait to access them at any point. Location is 30 minutes drive north of Dettifoss waterfall. Owner let us know a left item had been found so we could pick it up which was much appreciated.
Felt more like a nice hostel but still a good place :)

Verified reviewSuper spacious and quiet room, perfect after a long day of traveling and sightseeing. Fully equipped kitchen perfect to cook a meal at night and spacious/clean shared toilet (particularly those in the right arm of the structure)
Some other guests were being loud and disrespectful, so we had to confront them and politely ask to be mindful of quiet time. I would encourage the owners to put on signs inviting guests to be mindful of others - not everyone is polite after all.

Verified reviewVery nice shared facilities!
The sound proofing might be better. Used earplugs so not a real issue.

Verified reviewVery good noise isolation. We lived with a loud spanish company, but once you closed the room door, nothing could be heard. Heated floors in the bathroom is a great touch. Spacy dining room.

Verified reviewClean and practical, easy check in, everything you need.
Probably not the most charming place to stay, when compared to other places we’ve been in Iceland. But clean, easy, practical, nothing to complain about.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay at the Detiffoss Gesuthouse. Everything was great. Modern, clean bathrooms, a great kitchen, and a dining room.
Only for the rooms close to the dining room, it was too loud to sleep as people gather there in the evenings and have loud and lengthy dining.

Verified reviewGreat value for the money! Had one of the cosiest showers we’ve been to! Well equipped kitchen!
Old hair dryers, of which one of them didn’t work at all. The electric outlet was completely out of the wall and felt bit dangerous. Feels like minor fixes, that would greatly improve the experience.

Verified reviewBig and clean: rooms, dinning room, kitchen. I highly appreciated the big windows of the bedrooms and the heating floor in the bathrooms.
Maybe the hall carpet could be newest. The doors of the bedrooms also looked pretty old and were pretty noisy. But overall, it's a good accomodation and this mentioned minus just an overview about what can be improved.
