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.).

Have a guide on the bugs. We left the windows open and the light on…. And that was a mistake. Then opened the windows in the morning and they were all gone.

Verified reviewExcellent location. Only 10min driving to Vik and 10-15 min to a glacier. Very beautiful view. Quiet and clean. Private entrance and fully equipped kitchen were a big plus. Nice bathroom. Very cozy beds with nightstands on each side. Plenty of outlets to charge phone or camera. Next door hotel provided breakfast for extra charge. We liked our stay.

Verified reviewVery comfortable guesthouse. We got to experience a “moderate” storm for the area (ahem… 60 mph gusts) and were snug as can be while listening to the wind roar all night. Heaters are nicely functional, whether you adjust them down or up. The entryway coat rack and bench were ideal for coming and going in wet conditions. Good proximity to Vik. Nice interior layout; we didn’t feel cramped. My husband really liked the map of “Things to do in Vik” that was on the dining table.
Nothing - we wished we could have stayed longer!

Verified reviewThe property was conveniently located near Vik, which made it convenient for our sightseeing adventures. The guesthouses were located on a working farm, so it was nice to wake up in the morning and see a few horses and sheep in the nearby fields. The accommodations were quiet, clean and comfortable.
No complaints. The property was wonderful.

Verified reviewThis guesthouse was perfect for what we were looking for -- close to Vik and good space for two. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen was great!
It was extremely humid in the house so a fan would have been nice to make sleeping more comfortable.

Verified reviewLovely place overall. Wonderful peace and quiet. The room had very good space and facilities. The owners make a great effort to anticipate your needs and cover them. Vik is a 15 minute drive. So is Reynisfjara beach and Durholay lighthouse.
There was nothing not to like!
