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.).

SwitzerlandWe had trouble opening the window in one of the bedrooms - you may need to check that.
Amazing house, very comfortable and spacious. Extremely well equipped kitchen, we found everything we needed. The owners left very clear instructions that helped a lot organizing our stay. The house is in the middle of the fields, so it;s extremely quiet, but it's 10 mins drive from Hofn, so very convenient.

The house was comfortable for us. The only additional thing we would have enjoyed would have been a living room, but we used the dining room as our gathering place.

IndiaWe had a lovely one-night stay at Sauðanes Guesthouse during our road trip around Iceland. The location is serene, with breathtaking sea and mountain views right from the balcony—perfect for a quiet and relaxing evening. The room was clean, cozy, and warm, with all the basic amenities provided, including fresh towels and linens. Check-in was smooth and straightforward, and the hosts were kind and welcoming. The property is just a short drive from Höfn, making it a convenient stop along the Ring Road. Highly recommend this guesthouse if you’re looking for a peaceful stay with scenic surroundings and great value. Would definitely stay again!

SingaporeThe shared shower area is unisex but I don’t think the partition between 2 cubicles are that high. Best is to shower with your friend or partner, occupying the 2 cubicles at the same time. The rooms are quite small and would be difficult to open 2 luggage at one go. But the luggage stand provided helps :) There wasn’t clear instructions stating if we should place the unwashed utensils in the dish washer or not.
The place is relatively clean, and there was no restrictions unlike other guesthouses. There is a sink in your own room and there are many bathrooms in the guesthouses. There is a luggage stand and hangers provided in the room. There are teas, coffee, spices and cereals provided in the kitchen. Enough tables and chairs are provided at the shared dining space.

AustraliaThis was one of the nicer guesthouses we stayed in, on our Ring Road trip. 10 mins out of Hofn with fantastic views of mountains. Effort has been made in decorating the guesthouse to make it a welcoming and pleasant stay. Well equipped kitchen and a separate seating area with views. Comfortable beds. Note four bedrooms are upstairs where there is one toilet., but there are also showers and toilets downstairs. If stairs are a problem, ask for a ground floor room.

FranceAccording to the Booking pictures, the promised location is a place dived in the calm of the Icelandic plains downstream of the glaciers. Well, the promise was kept, the house was very welcoming, clean in every corner, the kitchen very well equipped with plenty of good things available to make a coffee or tea to your liking. Our room had a window directly overlooking the glacier that we had observed the same afternoon. The bench suspended outside is perfect for sitting day and night to enjoy the local fauna and flora. We highly recommend this place ! Thank you again to the host couple ! Justine & Paul

United StatesFull transparency, we were not super comfy in the beds, but we got a full night's sleep and lovely roof over our heads! So, we don't want to complain. But if it helps for improvement, we pushed the beds together to sleep and they were just barely different heights so it created a comical attempt at sharing the beds, as one bed would slide away while one of us would slide off to the other bed. We had a good laugh.
We so enjoyed our stay at your guesthouse! We loved your story and pictures that you shared. We only stayed one night, so we didn't really use the dining area or kitchen, but the shower and bathroom and bedrooms were lovely and clean. We saw the northern lights! And it was a gorgeous location overall. We were generally warm and comfy. Thanks so much for your hospitality. We loved our stay.
