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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

View of the water and sheep outside our room was nice. The room was good size and included a desk. The on-site restaurant was convenient and the food excellent.

We stayed in a bungalow for one night while visiting the area. Gerdi guest house is set upon a beautiful location with breathtaking mountain and ocean views. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was comfortable. There were no frills but it had what we needed for the night. Would stay here again if in the area.

GermanyVehicle parking is somewhat unclear and resulted in cars parked directly outside our room window. Due to car doors opening/closing throughout the night we were unable to keep our window open for the cool night breeze.
Facility was clean and offered the basic accommodations. Restaurant was on site if desired. Location is good for exploring southeastern Iceland.

United StatesWalls were a little thin - was in room next to kitchen and could hear them prepping for breakfast in the morning (was awake, so not an issue for me).
Close to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach - sunset at the lagoon and sunrise at Diamond Beach are awesome and would be highlights of your trip (clouds permitting). Lodging is very limited close to the lagoon and this was a good place and not too Iceland-expensive. Spacious room and bathroom was not tiny.

NetherlandsI prefer use my phone network. But there was no/poor phone signal in the room because of which I had to connect to hotel WiFi. Hotel Wifi was good though.
A decent, good sized room. It wasn't posh like the other hotels we stayed in Iceland during our road trip in the same category&price range, but was glad to have even found a room for family of 4 in this area. I seemed to have booked for 3 instead of 4 persons by mistake. But the room had 4 beds and when I informed the hotel the error, they made the 4th bed for us even at almost closing hours. Restaurant onsite with dinner and breakfast possibility was a big plus.

United KingdomGreat to be so close to Jokullsarlon. We did a two day trip from Reykjavik & stayed here for one night. Location enabled us to view the icebergs 3 times: on way to the Guesthouse, after evening dinner and again the next morning. We also had a substantial dinner and breakfast at Gerdi guesthouse.
