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 reviewLooks idyllic
It’s a baked and breakfast with very basic small rooms, that where noisy. There is nothing around, the place has no restaurant so you need to get to the next town to eat.

Verified reviewThe inn is in a beautiful setting, is very clean, and comfortable. Cindy was our host and she was extremely helpful in offering suggestions for sight-seeing. She also provided a delicious breakfast for us to take with us when we had to leave early. Breakfasts include an assortment of breads, cheese, meats, fruits and soft boiled eggs. And, when I noted that we were interested in the sheep, she invited us to attend the owner's presentation about sheep ranching. We would like to return and have more time to take local hikes.
It was all wonderful.

Verified reviewThe room was comfortable. We lived the common eating area where there was a microwave and a fridge. They even had an ice maker! The staff bent over backwards to help us. We loved talking to the woman who ran things.
The shower temp fluctuates unpredictably.

Verified reviewThe location was great, staff were nice and helpful. The room was comfortable with a nice view and the Wifi was good. Breakfast was generous with many options. The Inn was a former boarding school which was converted into accomodation in recent years. The sitting room was the old classroom with lovely views to the fjord.
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe Holt Inn was a perfect, charming guesthouse. We absolutely loved it! It was conveniently set off the highway in a bucolic farm area surrounded by mountains and fields of flowers. The rooms were so comfortable, there was plently of privacy, and fresh air. The breakfast was delicious, and the patron was very kind about making sure we did not have any allergies that needed substitutes. It was very close to many activities and restaurants, but in an oasis of an area. I wish we had another night there!
Nothing! We loved it!

Verified reviewAmazing views to the mountains from the windows, beds were clean and comfortable, there was a bonus hot tub outside, which was very secluded. Tasty breakfast with a large selection. Options to rent bikes and helmets. Sheep outside, very friendly, had a lovely time petting them.
Bathroom door was a sliding one, no handle on the inside and didn't close completely.

Verified reviewWe stayed for one night at Holt Inn, mainly because accommodation options were limited at Isafjordur for our travel dates. Breakfast spread was good. Clean room! Easy comms with the staff as we were late to arrive.
Room was drafty, likely because the building is old. We could feel cold wind coming in through sockets, the toilet flush and other parts of the walls.
