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.).

SloveniaGreat hotel: clean, comfy, great breakfast spread, amazing views on the lake… overall a nice experience, including the bonus of the little hot tubs to soak in after a long day. They even provide you with a bathrobe. Perfect location to start off your tour around the lake and visit all of its amazing natural wonders. There’s also a nice caffe with cakes and gift shop just across the parking lot.

United StatesThe cost. This is a very nice hotel, but IMO it is over-priced, as are most all the lodgings in the area. It is the one down-side to staying at Lake Myvatn.
Location was great, The attractions we came to see were nearby. Breakfast was excellent.

CanadaThis is a beautiful hotel in an amazing location. The Lake Myvatn area around the hotel was everything we hoped for and more. The trails around the nearby lake offered excellent walking and hiking. The hotel is quite close to other area attractions including the Myvatn baths. The included breakfast was exceptional with more choices than one could hope to work through in a stay of several days. Dinner in the restaurant was also very good and service from hotel and restaurant staff was very good. We enjoyed our stay.

Czech RepublicNothing specific – everything met or exceeded our expectations.
Ideal location for exploring the Mývatn area, with easy parking and excellent facilities. The staff were extremely helpful and kind, making the stay even more pleasant. Dinner options were perfect, whether à la carte or buffet, and the buffet breakfast was very nice as well. The local beer was a real highlight. Highly recommend this place!

AustraliaSome aspects of the property are ageing but it is well maintained and cared for. Nothing negative to say.
Good location, great to have the restaurant on site - remember to book in high season. We didn’t have the time to use the free hot tubs but this was a lovely touch. We had everything we needed, and with onsite parking. Extensive breakfast - we especially loved the lava bread. Lift to room was a bonus. Helpful and friendly staff - thank you for a great stay!

GermanyA nice hotel directly at the lake Myvatn shore, standard double room is comfortable with regular bed, good mattresses. Clean bathroom, enough space in the shower. Breakfast was phenomenal for Iceland accommodations. We had fresh waffles, variety of ham, cheese, bread (also local rye bread, which was delicious). Marinated herring, smoked fish, bacon &eggs, fruit salad, yogurt and cereals. The hotel also has thermal baths or pool, which was available until 10 p.m. (we didn’t use it)
