How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLovely landscape just outside with close walk to the waterfall and great views through the window. Comfy beds, clean house overall. Cozy kitchen and patio outside of it for a morning tea with a view.

Verified reviewKitchen was spacious and it's located very close to Skogafoss, being able to see it from the kitchen. The room was good and comfy.
The shower water was not warm. We all took a bit cold shower. I let the staff know and they tried to fix it, but it didn't improve. When I called them, the lady was rude saying "she has checked and there was plenty of hot water". They came to check and turn off the hot water while my friend was in the shower. Although the place was nice, not having hot water in a 8 weather degrees is a no go.

Verified reviewGood location perfect for a roadtrip. Very straight-forward accommodation, but good kitchen facilities and the property seemed well looked-after.
There were more people sharing the bathroom facilities than I had expected from the booking process.

Private room has access from the exterior, which is more private, but is kind of a pain taking your shoes on and off to good to the common space

Verified reviewVery convenient location. Quick walk to the falls and the bus stop. View of falls from our room. Comfortable bed. Nice change from the huts we had been staying in for the past six days or so.
The entry code was going to be sent to us the day before we were to arrive. However we were hiking on the trail with no wifi nor cell and so would have had no way of receiving the code. However one of the hut custodians called the owner for us and got us the code a few days early, so all worked out.

Verified reviewThis is located just steps away from the Skogar waterfall and one end of the Fimmvorduhals Trail, and close to the very good restaurant at the Skogar Hotel. I stayed in the efficient little one person studio.
I think you just have to know what you're in for. You're getting a relatively budget-friendly accommodation very close to some of Iceland's most beautiful wonders. But that's it. There were a lot of flies in the room, but they didn't ever land on me.
