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.).

Dirty, broken and smelly shower, only one for 2 floors. The bathroom upstairs was full of dust. Old fry pans, hard to close the window

Verified reviewLocation, comfortable beds, low price
Old house , not renovated, inconvenient shower. The single room was tiny. Missing bedsheets in one of the rooms with no solution proposed by the owner until the next day. One of the rooms had many dead bugs on curtains. In one of the rooms the wall was peeling.

Verified reviewIt was a great place to stay. It's advertised as Selfoss, but actually it's closer to the turnoff on 35 to go to Geysir. If you're doing the Golden Circle, this would be an ideal place to stay. There was a little waterfalls (Faxifoss) nearby you could walk to along a horse path.
It was a bit hard to find. I wasn't yet used to the Icelandic style of having very subtle signage. In a town nearby I asked for directions and they said there was no guesthouse by that name (when I pronounced it the Swiss way). Fortunately someone realized I meant "Hay-thee", and pointed me in the right direction. There's a little sign along the road saying "Heidi" but it's about 30 km N of Selfoss, despite the address.

Verified reviewWe seemed to be lucky to get an amazing huge room with comfy chairs etc. Kitchen facilities were very good. Lovely setting surrounded by garden/farm and location was great for us.
Difficult to regulate water temperature in shower and toilet sometimes didn't flush properly. Twins beds were a bit narrow for adults.

Verified reviewWe enjoyed our time at Heidi Guesthouse – cozy room, great location, and beautiful views.
The only downside was the shower mixer, which was tricky to adjust to the right temperature.

Verified reviewIt's a typical old countryside house, although quite rundown. It was cheap.
The mattress is not horizontal and therefore very uncomfortable. The room was vey, very, very small. Change the hand shower. A new one costs kr. 495 at the IKEA. The water at the shower is either very cold or very hot.

Verified reviewThe shared living area was nice and the shower & washing machine worked well.
Room #6 (the room with one twin bed) smelled very strongly of urine. Badly enough that my teenager had to share a single bed with me in our room. I messaged the owner about this and was directed to open a window (which did not help). I have never left a bad review on booking before - but when I messaged the owner the next morning to say thank you for letting us stay, but please know that the mattress needs replaced, I received zero response. Had they apologized and thanked me for letting them know, I would leave a nice review. They do not seem to care and the urine smell is certainly not fresh.
