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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Czech RepublicNow this was the best stay we had in all of our Iceland trip and Elisabeth was the nicest, most welcoming person we met. The guesthouse has everything you could need and it is incredibly clean. I also recommend to have a walk above the farm - there is a nice gorge with a great view of the entire valley, with many a sheep along the way. And the jars of homemade cookies in the kitchen area and homemade jam for breakfast really sealed the deal for me. 11/10

EstoniaToo bad we only had one night — we would’ve loved to stay longer.
We traveled around Iceland as a family (my husband, our daughter, and I) and spent one of the coziest, most memorable nights of our trip at Guesthouse Baegisa. 🏡 This is not just a guesthouse — it's a true family home with a separate cottage for guests, surrounded by a landscape that reminded us of the Alps. Everything is clean, peaceful, and thoughtfully arranged. The host is an incredibly kind and warm-hearted woman, and it was a pleasure to talk to her. In the morning, we were served a delicious homemade breakfast, made with care — a welcome break from standard hotel buffets. 🐑 The highlight for our daughter was a nearby farm where she was allowed to bottle-feed baby lambs. She squealed with joy — and so did we. One of the most heartwarming moments of our entire trip. 🚘 Great location, especially if you're traveling through the north. Parking is right by the house. If you're looking to experience authentic Icelandic hospitality, surrounded by silence, nature, and warmth — this is the place. No exaggeration — the best stay we had in Iceland. 🧦 And the selection of warm wool socks available for guests was the cutest thing I've ever seen in a hotel ❤️

United StatesGuesthouse Baegisa is an idyllic location a few miles outside of Akureyri. Just a gorgeous location in the countryside. The hosts at Guesthouse Baegisa were charming and helpful. The breakfasts there were wonderful. We loved the peaceful surroundings and wished we had a few more days to stay there. We highly recommend this place.

The guesthouse is on a sheep farm so it is very quiet. Yet it is conveniently located not far from a main road but away from the city nearby. The proprietress, Elisabeth, came out of her house to welcome us as we drove up the driveway and guided us to our room. It was a very warm reception. Our room (twin room) was on the small side but workable. It was clean and warm even though the wind was howling outside. The dinner we ordered turned out to be a typical Icelandic dish, and it was delicious. The main course was surpassed by the dessert. Breakfast was excellent; it included eggs cooked to order. We had a most enjoyable stay.

The property is very beautiful with a Mountain View. You wake up next to cows, sheep, and dogs. The sheep came right up to the fence then we witnessed their dog going to work to herd the sheep away from us. Very neat experience. Elisabeth was a great host. Her son was right next door and was also very accommodating when we needed help late. The beds were the most comfortable beds we slept in our entire trip.

IcelandThe guesthouse was located at a perfect location, relatively near akureyri but it felt remote enough, surrounded by mountains, with a small waterfall and farm animals around the area. The host is very accommodating and friendly and made us feel directly at home. The room itself was quite spacious and felt modern, while the kitchen was very well equipped and cosy!
