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.).

Very central, easy to find and lots of parking. The beds were the most comfortable we’ve had so far in our 10 days in Iceland.

Hong KongWe arrived at an exceptionally poor weather (snow storm in June!) knowing that we may freeze in the cabin, the owner had kindly offered to let us stay in the apartment instead. (A free upgrade!) it was genuinely a great surprise and a lovely highlight amidst the bad weather

AustraliaWe had to eat breakfast in our room as there is no space in the kitchen area.
Our room overlooked the town and mountains which is very pleasant. We made our own breakfast at the property which worked out okay. There is a coffee machine and toaster available. The bathroom is very spacious. The entire property is well cared for and decorated nicely. The host gave us recommendations on where to eat in town,

United StatesAMAZING location that offered privacy but was only a few minutes walk from downtown and the coast. Our host was very welcoming and provided some excellent recommendations for dinner and breakfast. The room was the perfect size for us and the bed very comfortable. The shared bathroom was very clean and well maintained with all residents respecting the privacy of one another.

United StatesThe Herring House was amazing! The rooms and house are very lovely and modern. We were fortunate to have the whole ground floor (and the bathroom) to ourselves, as only the cabins were booked up. It could be a bit tricky to manage the bathroom when all four rooms are booked. Helga was a wonderful host. The place was absolutely spotless and restful. We enjoyed the troll in the garden and exploring the gorgeous cemetery next to the house. This was one of our favorite stays in Iceland!!

United StatesSome wifi issues and couldn't get Netlfix to work but overall great stay.
We stayed in the 2 bedroom apt at the Herring House. Helga was lovely, met us on arrival, and was available by text entire stay. The apt is beautiful, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped (except would have liked drip coffee maker vs. nespresso). Very modern, clean, and quiet. Washer and dryer is a plus. Scenic seaside town was perfect backdrop to this stay.

CanadaHonestly, couldn't find one fault. Everything exceeded expectations. The quiet and solitude of this northern Icelandic location was exactly what we were looking for. Will definitely be back in the future.
A truly exceptional stay at the Herring House in June. Owners Helga and Dagur were most kind and very helpful with info. Most comfortable bed in the world. (I'm not kidding). Our little private cabin was great and we loved the outdoor shower with a great view of the mountain!! An easy walk down the hill into the little town and the bakery is a great spot for breakfast. Just adored the Herring House and Siglufjordur in general. Already planning another trip to this wonderful location and can't wait to discover more. My new favourite place on earth.

We were eating it in their living room and had a lot of fun and interesting conversation with them about living in iceland. We became many useful hints for visiting the town and pur further trip. Whenever we come back to iceland, we will return to Herring House.

United StatesWe stayed in the 2-bedroom apartment and it was awesome! We just wish we could have stayed longer. It is HUGE and has an incredible view of the town and fjord. We were doing the Ring Road and this, by far, was our nicest accommodation! Helga met us when we arrived, and gave us lots of suggestions of things to do. My husband and sister-in-law visited the Herring Museum (highly recommended) and I went for a wonderful walk high on the hills with incredible views of the fjord. My husband and I are huge fans of the Icelandic series, Trapped, so we were excited to see all the filming locations and Helga pointed out some we may have missed! On a side note, the actor who played Andri, stayed in our apartment during filming -- okay, we are nerds! But we were so glad we visited Siglufjordur. We would love to go back and do more exploring.
