Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

It does come across as a little sterile, heavily catering to the larger group tour stop overs and one night stays.
This was a good, inexpensive choice for the area and quick stop along the ring road. It was clean and tidy. It was easy to pop into Vik for dinner.

Curtains are very poor at blocking out light, so if visiting from May - August it won't be dark inside the room overnight. Despite being in a very scenic location the rooms are strangely orientated and most don't actually have a view of Dyrhólaey and the coast.
Good sized room and bathroom, and stayed very warm even with very cold weather and winds outside. Also seemed to be well soundproofed as could not hear other people. Breakfast was also very good with a wide selection of hot and cold foods.

Location was easy to find with a combination of GPS and following signs. Ample parking space, and the hotel is located on a mountain top that gives good view of the surrounding area. Rooms are all located in separate single storey buildings which provides easy access for luggages, and connected to main reception/cafe lounge via internal walkways. Rooms were spacious, clean, well insulated, warm and comfortable. Bathrooms were clean - good showers and water pressure. Breakfast was held in a communal hall with a good spread of breakfast foods in local and continental cuisine.

The hot water seems to be limited. The first night we each had a hot shower, however, the day after the water was 'just' mildly warm. It is not that big deal, but would have loved it after a cold windy day in Iceland.
This is a somewhat remote hotel (no villages nearby) on the side of a hill. It comes with a nice view if you are lucky enough to get a room on that side of the building. The parking is free and there is a lot of space. The rooms are really clean. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is the usual intercontinental one.
