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.).

SpainThe bedroom was very small. There was no parking spot left within the guesthouse so we had to leave the car in the street (which was not an issue at the end)
Very convenient self-check in so we were not worried about arriving late. The kitchen was fully equipped which was also very convenient It was clean and quiet. Close from airport and blue lagoon

United StatesThere are only 2 places to eat in town, and both close by 9 pm. Most residents left the town.
It was super interesting to spend a night in the ghost town of Grindavik - most houses nearby were abandoned after the eruptions of 2023-2023. Very curious place.

United StatesWhen we stayed, our room was right next to the shared bathroom and the doors slammed shut and kept us awake, but we let the owners know and they actually fixed it right after our stay so it won't be a problem going forward!
Location was great! Decor was so charming and lovely and the room was on the smaller side but worked just fine; cute little shared kitchen and coffee bar!

AustraliaThe coat rack is really high up! Luckily one of us was tall enough to hang out jackets as there wasn't a step that I could see to get it up there myself. Small thing, but it's the only thing to note.
The room was the best we experienced in Iceland! It was clean, open, big and felt fresh. The beds were really comfortable and we felt right at home. Loved the kitchenette and the tall table and chairs. Fantastic location near Blue Lagoon, Volcano lookouts and short drive to KEF.

ItalyEverything was perfect.
Staying here felt like stepping into the beating heart of Iceland. Grindavík has a suspended, profound atmosphere, full of emotion and raw, telluric beauty. All around, the lava shapes a powerful and surreal landscape; it feels like walking on another planet. A deeply moving experience. The location is perfect, very near to the Blue Lagoon, yet far from the usual tourist routes, surrounded by silence and the force of nature. The room was impeccable: clean, well cared for, and welcoming. Check-in was super easy and intuitive, and the hosts were incredibly kind, professional, and warm, you can feel how much heart they put into what they do. The kitchen was fully equipped (great for someone like me who enjoys cooking while traveling), and the bathroom was modern, spacious, and spotless. Staying here was an enriching experience, not only for the raw beauty of the surrounding landscape, but also for the human value of those who keep this unique corner of Iceland alive.

NorwayBecause of the current situation in Grindavik, there were quit few places to get any food. But no problem, we got a good description on where vi could shop, before our arrival.
A nice and clean room, with a small kitchen. The bed was nice, and the room and bathroom was large. Easy access with good communication from the owners before and under our stay there.
