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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United KingdomNothing I didn't like, really, but I do think it is quite expensive for a shared bathroom. There was complimentary tea, hot chocolate, but no coffee. My fault for not reading the booking; they do not say they provide any of that, so it is good that you got something. My comment is that it is really far away from anything, and the road is more or less a track off the main road. So it would have taken a significant amount of time to go and get some, so I did without.
Nice remote guesthouse, rooms were good, and facilities were good. We never saw any staff, but there are key locks to get the key to your room and to be fair, it's not a bad thing. They left a freshly-made waffle for every guest, which was a nice touch.

United StatesThere's a little bit of noise from neighboring apartments and the main guest house but nothing major. No laundry facilities nearby but we hand washed things to hang outside on the private deck to dry..
Off the beaten path in a scenic and beautiful location with rushing waterfalls, moss covered lava fields, small play area for younger children next to some interesting historical turf houses, horses at the farm next door, and oystercatchers guarding the bridge :). We stayed at the two bedroom apartment which was very spacious for our family of four, and we made several meals in the well stocked kitchen. Kirkjubaejarklaustur is about 15 min drive away for gas and groceries (but we picked up groceries in Vik on our way there). In early July when we went there was enough daylight to walk around the nearby waterfalls and bridge at midnight and enjoy beautiful golden hour light.it was a great place to spend a couple of nights after the sights near Vik and the Jokusarlon glacier lagoon.

United StatesThe walls in my room were quite thin and I could hear the conversation of a group of people staying in the room next to me. I wish that the quiet hours were more strictly enforced or that the rooms were better soundproofed.
Very convenient location in Southern Iceland, with clean beds and facilities for guests to use even though the former are shared.

United StatesBathroom floors are very slippery with the shower on the tile.
The location is unusual in that it’s 3 miles through the lava field to get there. It’s located in a secluded spot overlooking grazing sheep and a black sand lava river with a waterfall.

United KingdomThe guesthouse is in quite a rural location about 5km off the main road, and driving f to it takes you through some of the amazing volcanic landscape. It is very well maintained, clean and the home made waffles waiting for us when we arrived went down well :-). Just a pity we only had a very short 1 night stay as I’d loved to have explored the area around the guesthouse.
