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 reviewFossar Villa is a stunning property in the lush landscape on the South Coast of Iceland. The house is a generous size, equipped to a very high standard and decorated tastefully. Star of the show are the incredible views over the coast near Kirkjubæjarklaustur and it's a great place to hang out and relax for a family or a group of friends. The hosts were very friendly and responsive.
Nothing negative to highlight. Of course, if you are looking for a place close to public transport and all amenities or a vibrant neighborhood, this is obviously not it.

Verified reviewIt was really quiet, and I loved being greeted by the owner's border collie.
it was farther from the places we wanted to visit than we were thinking when we planned it. but that's only an issue depending on where you want to visit.

Verified reviewWe loved the quiet remote setting. Lovely views. Enjoyed wandering the trails down by river and across fields - hoping we weren't trespassing on anyone's land. I had a few questions for owners, and was very promptly and helpfully answered each time.
The only thing I missed was having somewhere to hang up and dry our outer clothes. Since we didn't need much heat we didn't have a good source for drying.

The hot water tank did run out once, but that was no surprise. The description was clear on that topic.

Verified reviewGreat location between attractions. Remote, quiet, clean, spacious. Neighbor's dog, Deuce, was a delightful visitor. No fuss check in and out. Full size house.
Would be helpful to have more drying racks for clothes or a washer/dryer, as there are so few laundromats in Iceland. But I'm nit picking. This place was great.

Verified reviewThis was our favorite place on our trip and we're glad we spent two nights here. It was modern and clean, with a good kitchen, large and comfortable living room, and heated bathroom floor! Views were wonderful and we enjoyed the privacy while still being only fifteen minutes from Kirkjubaejarklauster. They separated trash from recycling, which is much appreciated.

Verified reviewThe villa itself is big enough for a big groups. The environment outside is clear in the big farm and proper to spot the northern light.
The bedroom is quite small. It only fits with one big language to be opened.
