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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

The guesthouse is on a sheep farm so it is very quiet. Yet it is conveniently located not far from a main road but away from the city nearby. The proprietress, Elisabeth, came out of her house to welcome us as we drove up the driveway and guided us to our room. It was a very warm reception. Our room (twin room) was on the small side but workable. It was clean and warm even though the wind was howling outside. The dinner we ordered turned out to be a typical Icelandic dish, and it was delicious. The main course was surpassed by the dessert. Breakfast was excellent; it included eggs cooked to order. We had a most enjoyable stay.

United StatesGuesthouse Baegisa is an absolutely beautiful property! The hosts were lovely and most helpful. The breakfasts were wonderful. It is located in some spectacular countryside. We would highly, highly recommend this location for those looking for a quiet, peaceful location but close enough to Akureyi to enjoy what the town has to offer

The property is very beautiful with a Mountain View. You wake up next to cows, sheep, and dogs. The sheep came right up to the fence then we witnessed their dog going to work to herd the sheep away from us. Very neat experience. Elisabeth was a great host. Her son was right next door and was also very accommodating when we needed help late. The beds were the most comfortable beds we slept in our entire trip.

GermanyThis adorable guest house felt like home! It is owned by a wonderful Bavarian family and had all the usual charms of an Alpine Family inn, with the added charm of traditional Icelandic touches. Breakfast was lovely and it felt so peaceful in the valley where it is located. I hope to come back with my parents in the future!

SloveniaThis lovely guesthouse is a gem. The rooms are clean, warm and cosy. But the best part of the stay is the lovely host Elisabeth. She offered to prepare us dinner, because the stay is away from any other restaurants. She allowed us access to the washer and drier, so we could clean and dry our bathing suits and towels. All the little handmade details, the selected decorations and dishes give this place a special soul. The breakfast was delicious also, with everything you could want. Would really recommend this stay.

We loved everything, the reception with three dogs, the farm environment with animals, the clean and comfortable rooms. Fabulous breakfast! Unfortunately we didn't have a homemade dinner but the wonderful Astrid made a delicious homemade cake for my son's birthday - thank you very much, Astrid! - She also gave us information about the island. If you come to Akureyri, we would highly recommend Guesthouse Baegisa.
