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.).

PortugalOn the downside, the prices are quite high and feel exaggerated for what is offered. However, this seems to be the general standard in Iceland, so there’s not much to do about it.
The guesthouse met our expectations. The room was nice, clean, very spacious, and quiet. The hotel provides all the necessary utensils for cooking and eating, and there is convenient parking right at the door. Overall, it’s a good option.

The guesthouse was immaculate. The kitchen was so clean, I was amazed for it being a shared kitchen. All the guests were respectful about cleaning up and being quiet. I appreciated that there was also a dishwasher, as well as plenty of dishware and utensils to cook a full meal. The staff cleaned the kitchen daily. The rooms were spacious with room for luggage for two people. There was even a closet. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The location was so peaceful on the lake and very close to town (less than 5 minutes to grocery store). I saw reviews about noise from campers, but during our stay, the campground was closed. The only noise we heard was the silly oyster catcher (bird) saying hello.

CroatiaNo staff around. Last morning we were there power went off in whole object and alarm device was beeping because of that. After half an hour or so that no one from staff showed up, we managed to fix it ourself. Also, it is overpriced - same price level as some 3 star hotel in capital city. Maybe it's because of time period we booked (holiday weekend) but even in that case still...
Location is very good, just outside of Egilsstaðir, on the lake - nice, quiet and easy to find. Kitchen well equipped. Beds are comfortable and nice to sleep. Room was big and cosy and had our own bathroom.

GermanyThis is a great place to stay. The kitchen is large and well equipped, the common room offers enough space for all guests, you have your own private bathroom and everything is well kept and clean. From the guesthouse you have a lot of possibilities to visit the eastfjords and it‘s only five minutes drive to the Vök Baths.

It was one of the best places we stayed in during our vacation. The place is incredibly clean, including rooms and shared spaces. Rooms are spacious and cozy, the beds are super soft. The kitchen was equipped with everything for comfortable cooking, you literally can cook anything you like at this kitchen. Every detail in this guesthouse has been carefully considered.
