Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesRoom with concrete walls and floor.
A great location out in the country and they have a nice parking lot with plenty of room. The property was clean and well maintained. There is good visibility to see the northern lights at Bru Country. It was our first time seeing the lights. The evening meal that can be purchased was delicious with a large variety of foods and salads. I loved their dining room with all different kinds of dishes used. Their Iceland breakfast of cold cuts was served as a lovely buffet. We were surprised at our room with the price we paid of $375 US dollars as it reminded us of a "bunker" with the concrete walls and floor. We had heat to take the chill off. We were in a separate building from the check-in.

United KingdomAmazing location perfect for an early wake up to snorkel the Silfra! Staff were amazing and got extra towels for us to use in the hot tub. Hot tub was warm, clean with great view of the mountain and stars. Room was spacious, clean and warm. We took a 100m walk down the lane at night and saw the northern lights!! Breakfast was fresh with lots of options, would highly recommend!

United StatesFascinating lobby and restaurant filled with antiques and memorabilia. The dinner buffet was the most memorable of our entire Iceland trip. The dining room was beautiful and the buffet had many distinctive vegetable dishes all clearly home cooked and unlike the more standard fare at other hotels. The mushroom soup was outstanding, I went back for seconds and thirds. The 3 meat dishes lamb meatballs, veal, and locally caught fish were all well prepared and tasty The hotel is only 14 minutes by car from Thingvellir National Park, perfect location

Beautiful location, reception area and breakfast really well furnished and suggestive. The view of the Icelandic fields with grazing horses are the frame. Warm and clean room beyond expectations. There was also a kettle with coffee and tea. Simple breakfast but good. Wonderful the free hot tube in the evening under the stars.
