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.).

BelgiumThe long gravel accessroad is ok in general and poses no danger or challenge at any moment but is at one or two spots a bit rough for a toyota yaris.
Magical location when the sky is blue, surrounded by nature, is everything that you came to Iceland for, amazingly friendly host.

AustriaNothing everything was fine
Very unique location right at the beach, which produces the most spectacular sunsets. Takes a bit of a drive and is therefore a little secluded but very well worth it. Amenities all very clean and kitchen well equipped. Breakfast was heavenly especially the homemade pancakes. Staff was also very friendly and helpful

LithuaniaNothing, everything was more than perfect.
In fact, it's even hard to find correct words to describe our stay at this beautiful & unique house. Stay at Kolkuos house was one of the main highlight from our trip in Iceland. It's absolutely unique experience. Everything was more than perfect. The house inside is very beautiful, comfortable, super clean, stunning view from the window. I would love to stay much more longer there, because this house has some magic energetic. The feel is definitely like at the end of the world, very calm, relax & cozy.

United StatesFor those looking for something in a city, this isn't it. For those looking for natural beauty, quiet and peacefull surroundings, this is your place. Very glad we happened on this by chance.
Beautiful location on a beach in the country side. The rooms were modern and very comfortable. We used the kitchen to make our own dinner. This place is a perfect refuge. The host prepared breakfast and we enjoyed his company. Should have stayed longer.

United KingdomThe room we booked had wheelchair access which meant there was no door between the room and the bathroom ie no privacy. I wasn't aware of that beforehand so was in for a bit of a surprise when I walked in. If I knew about this it would probably stop me from booking the place but I'm so glad I didn't because I would miss the chance to stay at this magical place. I understand the owner is planning to install the door very soon so, this won't be an issue anymore in the future plus there is an additional toilet on the ground floor that can be used should you wish to do so. Please note there is no TV or wifi at this property (my mobile network was working fine) but that just means you get to enjoy the surroundings without any modern day distractions. There are books and a piano in the lounge.
The location is simply stunning. If you like beautiful scenery away from everything, this is the place to stay. The house itself is amazing and the rooms are lovely and spacious. We were lucky as the night was clear when we stayed there and we had the opportunity to see the northern lights which added to what was already a very special experience. I visited Iceland three times and stayed in various places and this was hands down my favourite.

GreeceDuring our trip to Iceland we always saw isolated houses, true retreats, and we wondered what it's like to live here! If you want to know, then book this hotel! It is a perfect place to see what life is like in a house with only the sound of nature! It doesn't have WiFi and it does very well. Take a book, go down to the living room and read. - no wifi here talk to each other - also the house takes you to another decade!

United KingdomKnowing kitchen on site. Toilet too exposed for comfort - glass screen would have afforded more privacy. Who wants to see someone sitting on the toilet, even if they have been married for 50 years?
Stunning location, if a little off beaten track. Would be useful to know this. Room clean. Kitchen unexpected bonus - no mention on website.

It's a bit off the main road but a quick call to the owner and he guided us in. And it was worth it! Beautiful view of the water, very cozy room, fantastic breakfast served by the owner in a "tuxedo" apron. He makes you feel like family from the moment you arrive.

United StatesEverything was perfect! This property is off the paved road and you will need to drive on a rocky road to get there. It is quite and secluded with incredible views. Comfortable bedding, very clean property. Great breakfast and a charming host. So far, nothing has topped this accommodation in Iceland. A bonus was the sunny, warm weather and no wind. We truly did not expect to have such luck.

United StatesWe cannot think of anything.
The hotel was a rare find located in a place of ethereal beauty. We appreciated access to the kitchen to cook a simple meal. The host was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Although there are no grocery stores in the immediate neighborhood, there are stores along the road as well as in the next town. We liked the peaceful ambience and the unique beauty of the place. We hope to be back.
