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.).

United StatesThe quality food could be better, for both breakfast and dinner. There are no other restaurants nearby, so limited to eating at the hotel for the most part.
Views from the dining area are magical. Beautiful property in the middle of no where. Loved it for day trip to Husavik (did whale watching and puffins tour), Abysir Canyon, and Detifoss. Great base.

United KingdomIt felt a little bit like being in an episode of "Black Mirror", but in a good way. The restaurant is excellent and the food is delicious, but very expensive. Not sure about other options as the location is reasonably remote. There is a small supermarket in the nearby town and probably others nearby.
Contemporary hotel, amazing location, amazing views. Good value for money for the room. I paid not much more for a "Lake View" Room, which was really nice. We climbed the nearby volcano crater which is visible from the hotel. We didn't wake up after it got dark to see if there were any Northern lights outside (saw some later on in the trip) :)

I loved the room, it was modern and very comfortable. I also loved the free Sauna which made my stay much more luxurious. Additionally, unlike some other other Foss Hotels, this one had 24 hour staff so the Aurora watch was an excellent addition which made our trip.

United KingdomLoved everything!
Loved loved loved everything about this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable and warm. Plenty of spaces for large luggage items. The receptionist informed us on everything we needed. We had dinner at the restaurant - 100% recommend. The food was delicious. Views from the communal areas overall were lovely. This hotel was a really good price, considering it had breakfast included too. Which was equally and yummy as dinner and had lots of options.

Our room was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable and large. The crib was very good. The view from the room was perfect because it had been snowing for two days before It even had a small balcony trype thing. The restaurant was expensive but worth every penny. Staff was helpful and fun.

United KingdomThe roads leading up were not very plowed so we got the car stuck in the parking lot. Not a lot of food options or room service.
I love the breakfast buffet! So many options and delicious. They even had oat milk for your cereal! The rooms were very big. They were heated too much for my taste but luckily there was the option to open the window. We stayed during a snowstorm so luckily it was a nice retreat.
