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.).

MexicoThe house is B E A U T I F U L!!! Right in the heart of Siglufjördur quite close to an amazing bakery. Helga is so caring and kind, we wish we would’ve spent more time at her home and with her, she has amazing tips and suggestions for your trip and loves to share her knowledge 😍 The room was beyond perfect, comfortable and warm beds with an amazing view… we even saw northern lights from the comfort of our room! We are definitely coming back ✨

The bed was one of the most comfortable of our week. The cabin is cute and very well presented and we enjoyed the outside shower, especially as there was a room with towels and heating and a guitar if you fancy having a strum whilst lounging in your undies. Highly recommend the Herring Museum, it was fabulous and great value for money And the bakery for brekkie

United StatesThe hosts were very accommodating and gave my son his own room even though we only booked a triple. The breakfast spread was amazing with homemade breads, fruit, cheeses, meats, yogurt, etc. and they told us all about the area, Icelandic culture and life that I felt like I was visiting with family(we chatted for an hour and half). So warm and helpful telling us about the local sites and hiking trails. Hands down the most beautiful town in Iceland on the Ring Road and best experience since I got to really experience Iceland and the warmth of Icelanders. Highly recommend!

United StatesSuper clean, with big bathroom. Nice owner. Great location. Note: that there are somewhat steep stairs to get into the building. There are four bedrooms with a well-stocked but small kitchen. There is a small counter to sit around while eating. I was there with a friend, we each had our own room and there were no guests in the other two rooms. It was perfect for our needs.

PeruShower is out doors, which can be a cool experience but also uncomfortable when you are comming from a Long car ride.
My favourite stay of our roadtrip. The garden and cottage style decoration of the cabin is just magical! We arrived late and got right into the hottub, outdoors and with great view of the garden. The cabin is a very small space but used wisely, did not feel cramed at any time and it even has all the essentials to cook a quick meal. Highly recommend it for a short stay and for couples. Helen is a lovely host, very charismatic and caring.

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.
