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.).

NetherlandsThe breakfast is not the best I have evert had but definitely sufficient! You have standard bread, yogurt and beans and etc. The room is big enough, the bathroom is nice. We chose this hotel because we booked the glacier walking and the hotel is only 3 mins drive from the meet-up point.

NetherlandsHardly space to leave two suitcases, and price quite high for what you get compared to other places, but perhaps that's because of the remote area.
Nice bed and shower, and good breakfast.

PolandDining room - too small and not comfy. The staff was not so friendly as we expected.
We stayed at this hotel 1 night and it was the worst experience in Iceland comparing to the rest places where we stayed. The workers at the reception were not so friendly as in the rest hotels. The room for four people is not big enough. The bathroom is too small. The doors of the shower were difficult to open. It was warm enough in the room. We didn’t like a lot the dining room as well. It was not comfy. The hotel is lack of soul and domestic warmth what you could feel in other places of Iceland. The location is nice. It’s close to the glacier lagoon as well as Skogafoss waterfall. To stay for a night is a nice option.

GermanyThe dinner is a bit pricy but that is normal in Iceland to be honest. And if you have loud neighbours you will hear them. Also there is no ventilation in the bathroom. And the room has only one window.
The location is only 30min away from the lagoon of Jokuslaron. So if this is where you want to go it is the perfect location. Also because there is few cities and other light sources around you have good chance to see the northern lights. Everything is clean, the stuff is super friendly and the food, including the breakfest, is very good.

United StatesToo expensive for what you get. And I really wish they had a guest kitchen. Dining options are limited in the middle of know where. You’re kind of forced to eat at their restaurant. And the beds were very hard.

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel - was comfortable, clean and in a great location. We had a glacier hike booked the next day so was a quick 3 minute drive to the meeting point. The staff were also really helpful and friendly. And to top it off we got to see the Aurora for the second time .

IrelandThe location of this hotel is excellent as it allows for hiking on the glacier, visit to Diamond Beach and Black Beach at Vik - it made a perfect base for our holiday. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was really lovely - particularly the Icelandic Skyr! We weren't able to get to the hotel before the restaurant closed but we were able to phone in our order and it was ready for a take away which we ate in our room. Shout out to Diego who couldn't have been more helpful - it is a wonderful ambassador for the hotel

MalaysiaIt's convenient to both Jokulsarlon and Skaftafell - around 30mins in each direction. Basic, but warm and cosy room. Breakfast was simple yet good. Good pre-check in message to inform/remind that it's in a remote location so we need to book seats in the restaurant or have dinner plans ready.
