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.).

An amazing, well equipped house on the golden circle route. Being able to walk to the tomato farm was a bonus. Communication with the owner was excellent. The photos don't do this lovely house justice, and we would certainly return for another visit.

PolandDear Mr. Sólveig, We wanted to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your hospitality during our stay. The Charming Villa exceeded our expectations, and we were truly charmed by its furnishings and your attention to detail. Iceland's beauty left us in awe, particularly the captivating sight of steam rising from the ground, a rarity in Poland. We were pleasantly surprised by the presence of many fellow Poles in Iceland, making communication in our language a breeze. As a token of our appreciation, we're leaving you a Polish magnet as a souvenir. Once again, thank you for hosting us in your delightful villa. Our time in Iceland will be fondly remembered as six extraordinary days. Warm regards,

The house is perfect! Very spacious, has everything we need :) we stayed for four nights and loved it! We also loved the sauna! Location is perfect in the golden circle, and close to the secret lagoon, geyser, the National park, and supermarket :)

United KingdomAs we were two families meeting up, the bed configuration was slightly challenging. Needed a second double bed ideally. The stairs to the mezzanine are steep.
Well equipped, plenty of space and very comfortable. The hot tub and sauna were a bonus. The location worked very well for us. The host gave good tips and responded to questions quickly and clearly. We would happily stay here again.

United KingdomWhat a beautiful house! Solveig, the host, was friendly and helpful. Everything was neat and clean. We were two very happy families, 4 adults and 2 children, and there was more than enough space for everyone. The house is well equipped and the jacuzzi and sauna were fantastic. Nice spot on the golden circle in the little village of Reykholt with its swimming pool, shop, restaurants, playgrounds, football pitches, greenhouses and more. Thank you!

United KingdomNot that it was an issue for us but the steps to the upstairs area are steep although there are 3 bedrooms downstairs :-)
A beautiful house in a great location, really handy for all the big hitters of the Golden Circle. As other reviewers have said, the house is much bigger and nicer than the photos would suggest.

United StatesOur stay was so positive and refreshing after our prior adventures in Akureyri and the Highlands that I can't think of anything I didn't like about this place. It was a real oasis for us, a place to relax and recharge.
We felt completely overwhelmed with how nice and how well-equipped this house is. The owner understates what a nice place it is in the property description. The house is spacious, clean, and comfortably decorated, and has high-end appliances and finishes, high quality without necessarily feeling like luxury or too much. The location is great too. It is right near all of the bucket-list attractions but far enough removed that one is not caught up in the bustle at all. Reykholt is central but not necessarily the main drag, it isn't all gummed up with people and tourist traps like Selfoss, Geysir, Fluthir, or Hveragerthi. The local greenhouse restaurant, Frithheimer, is amazing and it is a walk from this property. The owner is completely responsive and friendly. We wish that it had been available for more nights during our trip. Book as many nights here as you can! But don't let the secret out! :-D We used it as a jumping point for climbing Hekla and touring Seljalandsfoss. Also did a horse ride near Hella.

This house is absolutely nice and cosy - we felt almost like home: the kitchen / dining / living room is very nice and warm. The two bath rooms are clean, the sauna is perfect and the outside whirlpool prefers a location for relaxing moments. The kitchen is well equipped, so is the laundry area. Fresh flowers topped it.
