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.).

RomaniaI have nothing to complain about, everything was just fine.
We stayed there for a few days and everything was exceptional. The natural surroundings, the farm, the accommodation, the food, the staff, and the fact that everything was built around sustainability truly impressed us. I don’t know when I will return to Iceland, but I can say with all my heart that I would love to come back here. We warmly recommend it to all travelers.

CanadaKitchenette was very basic - two burner electric hotplate, kettle and stovetop coffee maker. No microwave, toaster. Fridge was very small, located next to bathroom, and did not get very cold. While coffee was provided, there were no teabags, sugar or cream. No food basics such as salt and pepper, spices, oil, etc.
Very quiet and private cottage with lots of windows looking onto nature. Loved sitting on the porch and looking out at the farm. Comfortable bed. Dinner in the greenhouse was lovely and delicious. Free parking.

United KingdomWe really missed having a table and 4 chairs. With the availability of a kitchen we were prepared to cook our own food but had nowhere to eat it. We sat on the outdoor picnic tables but in the evening it would have been nice to be indoor. Perhaps this is something that is in the plan but has not been added yet.
The cottage was beautiful. Clearly work in progress (some electric fixings were not connected or missing yet) but really nice.

NetherlandsThe kitchenette is not equipped for cooking. I suggest the owners make a trip to IKEA (or similar) and spend 100 euro on some basic things like plates, pans and wine glasses. The communication - also via Booking chat - was poor. Only very late response to questions.
Nice style. Clean

AustraliaThe kitchen was not well equipped to cook a decent meal. The pots and pans were very small which made it very hard to cook. The fridge was also quite small and there was no microwave. The pictures of the property showed that There would be a colander in the kitchen but it was missing. There is a nespresso coffee machine and they gave us more pods when we asked, but tea wasn't provided. It is not what I would have expected considering the high price of this accommodation. There was no dining table and only a very small coffee table which made it hard to eat meals. No TV either. Overall, I expected more for this price, especially in comparison with other places we stayed in during our trip to Iceland around the ring road.
The rooms were new and fresh, it seemed to be newly built. I think the bathroom floors were heated, which was very nice because the bathroom dried a lot quicker. Beds were comfortable and the shower was great.

United StatesWhat a gem of a place to stay. I had the cottage all to myself which included a small kitchenette, eating space, huge bathroom and front porch. I had breakfast and dinner at the reception/restaurant and each time the meal exceeded my expectations. Nearly everything they serve comes from the farm! Conveniently located to Egilsstadir for gas, miscellaneous items, (even a Reindeer Rescue Park!) Hiking trails galore though I didn't have time to explore them. I returned late one day from Studagil and the host was kind enough to make up a dinner plate for me to carry in a basket to my room. Absolutely delightful place to stay and soak in the area.

Czech RepublicWe were upgraded to one of the brand new apartments and it was fantastic. The apartment had a spacious kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Everything was new and clean and the room was warm. The hostess was lovely and prepared a delicious dinner out of local products from the farm just for us. The farm is located in a beautiful area by the Lagarfljót lake with lots of trees and amazing nature all around. Bigger town Egilsstadir is only 15min away by car. Nelson the cat was always checking on us:) wish we could’ve stayed longer!

They have the sweetest cat named Nelson, and all the people who are working in the greenhouses clearly love what they do. It was just an amazing, wonderful place and I highly recommend it!

BelgiumThis was so amazing. The location is a dream if you have a car with you, so beautiful and quiet but 15 min from a big city. The food they have is magnificent and mostly produced by them, the rooms are small (as advertised) but very nice. They use their own wood, which makes the rooms look so cute. They had a problem which caused our room to only be ready on the second day, they called us in advance, arranged an alternative (bigger) room on their property in stead for the first night, and offered free breakfast as a compensation. The owners and staff are amazing. Very friendly, very accommodating.
