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 reviewSpacious, large rooms with good views, prime location, excellent food options and a gas station in the immediate vicinity. Extremely close to Kirkjufell. The beds are extremely comfortable, the bathrooms are amazing - the water pressure in the showers is perfect! 10/10 stay. This is my 2nd time stopping here, and I will absolutely be back again!
Nothing. Everything was amazing.

Verified reviewvery comfortable bed, big toilet, clean, good location
the only thing we didn't like is that in the booking said it has a "kitchenette" we expected to cook something like we did in other places with "kitchenette" but in this case the "kitchenette" only included a microwave, a sink and a kettle, so we couldn't cook anything and somehow that modified our plans because we expected do prepare next day lunch and we couldn't

Verified reviewClean and modern room in good location
We had a problem with the shower and tv, both of which were fixed after we called the contact number but it seems both are recurring issues in our particular room so not sure why they haven't just been sorted properly... Also very annoying automatic light in the bathroom which would turn off while in the shower but turn on every time you walked past the door.

Verified reviewVery clean, very comfortable, in centre of town, across road from supermarket and pharmacy. Excellent block out curtains. Spacious bathroom, good kitchenette with chopping board, microwave, bowls and plates. We walked about 30-40 min from the guesthouse carpark to see Kirkjufell mountain and waterfall
Did have to walk up stairs to get to the apartment; not a problem for us, but could be an issue for people with mobility issues

Verified reviewWhat can i say, the BEST hotel we have been during our Ring road drive/trip. Room was very big, clean, had ALL like ALL possible facilities, the bed was very comfortable, they even had a PC in the "lobby" that anybody can use. When we'll visit Iceland again, only for this hotel we'll drive the road, absolutely fantastic.
NOTHING! Just that we stayed only one night, wanted more

Verified review- The view!!!!! - Rooms are spacious and new - Blackout curtains were excellent - Bed was very comfortable - Property owner communicated well
- The shower is on an elevated platform that presents a trip hazard. The flooring is seamless and if you are not careful, you could trip and fall down (especially elderly people should be careful). I would recommend the property owner to see if they mitigate this somehow - The payment integration with booking platform has some quirks. It was only this hotel that had an issue. While you can make payment onsite during business hours, I recommend the property to work with booking.com and make the payment seamless as possible Both the items above are only minor issues and is reflected in my score appropriately. Great property and I will stay here again if the opportunity arises. Excellent value.

Verified reviewWonderful stay in a wonderful city. A chic hostel, the room is very clean, fragrant. The beds are comfortable, the room is huge, the bathroom is also very large. There is a beautiful terrace for drinking coffee, with a view of Kirkjufell mountain. Our room windows also faced Kirkjufell mountain. The room had a small kitchenette, but everything was enough for us. Grundarfjörður is a wonderful town, we are very happy with both the accommodation and the town.
