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.).

United StatesSuch a minor thing! I wished there was soap and laundry detergent available so I could scrub out a stain in my jacket. The closest restaurants and shops were about a 20-minute drive, and dinner options were limited.
Loved the breakfast - one of the best meals we had in Iceland. Nice view of trees from the dining room, where we lingered over our toast, lox, and tea. The rooms were clean, quiet, and just what we wanted. The woman who greeted us at the front desk (Birgid?) was so kind and welcoming. All our clothes were soaking wet from the rain, and she gave us a drying rack and, if that didn't work, offered to dry our clothes in the staff's dryer. I loved the location, surrounded by a sweeping view of a dramatic landscape.

United StatesA bit remote vs lodgings on closer vicinity to Selfoss, but given weed done the ring road clockwise, being a few miles from a large ‘metropolis’ was nuffin’ compared to places we’d stayed up north. Perfectly adequate, totally accessible by car on 10 minutes.
Included breakfast, had a tv room/lounge with couches, games, puzzles. Nice place to relax at the end of the day.

FinlandAs the location is about 10 km from Sellfoss you need to head out for dinner but since every body is probably renting a car to get here anyway this is a small inconvenience.
We had a great stay at the guesthouse on top of the hill. The location is great next to the cross roads of Golden Circle and the road to south coast. The facilities were in really great shape and the rooms were comfy and clean.

United StatesNot much. No stove for making warm food.
We were in Room 7 upstairs. Rooms and beds were comfortable and we slept well both nights of our stay. The continental breakfast spread was abundant; it had a very good variety of food and beverage. Surprised by the generous portions of smoked salmon, shrimp salad, granola, yogurt, breads - you name it. Kasia, our hostess, was warm and welcoming. Shared bathrooms and toilets were large, clean and any wait to use was never long. We used the kitchenette, microwave, kettle, refrigerator, cutlery, utensils to prepare simple dinners both nights - all we had to do was rinse what we used and leave it by the sink to be cleared by the staff the next day.

United StatesNothing at all just a heads-up for future travelers: plan your dinner ahead of time. Most nearby restaurants close by 9 or 10 PM, which caught me off guard. Totally on me, not the property’s fault.
Peaceful, charming, and surrounded by open Icelandic beauty. The guesthouse was cozy, clean, and welcoming with a wonderful breakfast in the morning. There were also plenty of bathrooms and showers, and I never had to wait once. A great place to unwind after a full day of exploring.
