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 StatesThe fitness center, location (limited options around the area), power plant that fuels Blue Lagoon is not the best site for the eyes. And also smells like sulfur.
This really is truly a special and cozy lodging. Breakfast was solid with a decent variety of options. The dinner at Max's restaurant was always truly excellent. I had some of my best meals in Iceland in that restaurant (esp the risotto). The room was comfortable and spacious for Iceland/Europe standards. The location is good for a few days. I did feel that after 3 days, we felt confined with limited options around the area or in the facility (the gym was pretty basic with some machines not working). Overall, we will definitely be back again!

United StatesThe lights in the room were too dim, and the carpeting in the halls had paint and stains all over, which didn’t make sense with the price and overall quality of the stay. Also, the room was a bit stuffy and the wall thermostat was not changeable.
Loved the kind staff, location, delicious dinner, the comfy room and wonderful breakfast buffet!

United StatesThe property was great. I didn’t realize the power plant would be right outside my window but I could live with that as the location was my priority.
I liked the location and that is why I picked it. I expected a bit nicer accommodations for the price. The place was not but not a $475 a night type of place. The honey bar was a nice touch and so was the breakfast buffet. The service and staff were excellent. This was a $350 a night type of place. Would recommend with caveat of the price.

United KingdomWe had booked a Blue Lagoon transfer bus from our hotel in Reykjavik to the Blue Lagoon and saw on Google maps that you could walk to this hotel, but didn't realise that it was a bit of a roundabout way to get there. The hotel does a shuttle service so we could have asked them to pick us up, it was quite windy and could have done with this had we known. Also we didn't realise it says they have a wellness center but we still have no idea what was on offer, if it was a spa, or massagages. If we had known we might have taken advanage of this service.
Check in was quick, we had a lovely meal in their restaurant, the shower was good. Good honesty bar for drinks and snacks. We didn't know, but they had a shuttle service to the Blue Lagoon. The price was less than staying at the Blue Lagoon but it is a basic hotel so you are still paying for location even though the location is a bit away from the Blue Lagoon.

United StatesThe fact that our room thermostat was locked and we wouldn’t set it below 25.5C which is too hot! There also didn’t seem to be any ventilation in the room and with the room on the ground floor and the strong smell for the hydro plant, we couldn’t keep the window open all night.
The proximity to the airport and the blue lagoon. Perfect for a quick stopover.
