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 reviewThe breakfast is nice and plentiful. There are restaurants nearby by car in Hella and Hvolsvöllur .
There is a restaurant at the accommodation. That's why I booked here. The host informed me that the restaurant was not working when it was no longer possible to cancel.

Verified reviewGood value for money, amazing hot tub open 24/7 under the stars
The position is not great if you want to explore the surroundings, every time you have to do 15 Min drive one way to get from the hotel to the road nr.1

Verified reviewIt was a good place for one night.
The water was only warm rather than hot in the shower. The location is inconvenient to restaurants.

Verified reviewComfortable room (even if small for 3 people) and quiet atmosphere.
Dinner was excellent but rather expensive. Breakfast below the normal standard level despite should be well above considering the cost of the room.

Verified reviewPersonally I loved this hotel. Perfect if you’re travelling on the ring road. However it’s a bit off the beaten track.
Food was excellent but a bit expensive for what you got , I like my food, portions of veg etc were minuscule to say the least.

Verified reviewThe staff were amazing. So friendly, polite, helpful and efficient. They made our stay very enjoyable.
The rooms are not well insulated in between, so it is possible to hear everything that is happening in the room next door.

Verified reviewVery remote and so likely.to be good for northern lights watchers (we weren't). It was clean, not spotless, but clean.
Buildings are (as in their photos) a bit like scout huts. We had to decline our allotted room due to a faulty air extraction fan having exposed wires above the shower.Wafer thin walls, could hear the next door amorous couples every move! Food disappointing, wine was sent back as it was stale/off, I ordered cauliflower with roasted pepper, arrived with no cauli ("there isn't any") and pepper was raw. I offered to go and cook it for them but they declined. The veggie burger was from Bejam. Not really acceptable but nowhere else to go. They made a big thing about coffee in foyer not the rooms, but machine was out of order and looked like it had been for some time.
