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 reviewThe common areas were very nice and we were able to prepare a couple of meals. The common living area was great, but we didn't have a lot of time to spend there.
The bathroom in our room had a funky smell, which we assumed was due to the hot water, but we're not sure. We didn't use the shower at all since we had just showered at a public pool before arrival.

Verified reviewThe guesthouse can be reached with a very short detour from the Ring Road, being located in a lovely small village at a beautiful lake. The personal was very friendly and flexible in regard to our arrival time (flexible check-in option). The breakfast got prepared at the evening before and stored at the fridge for self-service in the morning for a flexible departure which meets everybody‘s needs. Breakfast was allright with a mixed box of bread, fruits, joghurt etc.
Limited choice for dinner at Hvammstangi, although there are 2-3. However, we went for a restaurant that took us a 15mins drive by car.

Verified reviewThis a good hotel in very small town. The rooms are adequate but very clean. Good location considering the size of the town. Breakfast is provided in a box which consists of bread, pastries, juice, bananas and yogurt. Coffee is available all the time in the kitchen that you can share with others.
I would have liked at least some protein for breakfast, like boiled eggs or ham.

Verified reviewEasy to find. Shower was good. It was clean.
Bagged breakfast subpar - one juice box missing a straw, one yogurt had been opened (I just threw them both away and didn’t say anything). It would be better not to include breakfast. View of street from room was not private (a half curtain would be nice for privacy)

Verified reviewDue to the time of the year we were the only guests. Smoke alarm was beeping and she came directly out and resolved the issue. There are two very nice sitting rooms and a free coffee machine available to the guests.
We wanted one of the sodas from the "honor bar" and it was all locked up and since there was no staff on site we couldn't get in, probably could have called, but it was not really that big of an issue.
