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 StatesThe room needed some maintenance. The shades were worn, especially at the edges, and so they leaked sunlight. Since it was late spring, the result is the room never really got dark and the sun came around the curtains starting about 2 AM. The bathroom needed some maintenance too - the sink stopper was missing.
Great breakfast, beautiful location. The hotel blends into the landscape pretty well, and the landscape is spectacular. The staff is nice and the public areas are well maintained.

United Arab Emiratesrooms are really basic, more like a 3 star motel. they could’ve done much better with the interior of the rooms to complement the special exterior of the hotel
the location is on route to jökulsárlón, so it’s good for a night stop to rest and savor the space and emptiness around the hotel. You’d step out of your room and keep walking on cushion like ground with a 360 horizon all around, a truly special place for some peace and quiet

United StatesWe liked the Bistro dinner better that he the buffet—would like to see their Bistro menu expanded.
Beautiful, well-designed hotel in a perfect location along the Ring Road to explore the area—from Diamond Beach to various waterfalls and hikes! The food was very good, and we loved the views! And shout out to Christina, the bartender! Not only did she make perfect drinks (best Martini I’ve had) but she was a wealth of information about the area.

GreeceThe rooms were to be honest a little disappointing they were really small and the bathroom even smaller and because of this everything seemed steamed up or felt damp, that said we had a great nights sleep all 4 of us and the views were awesome. we did have a lot of wet clothes that night from our travelling so maybe that didn’t help.
The staff were all really really lovely and helpful and welcoming. Especially the staff in the restaurant they were great and very friendly to our kids. the area in next to the bar is lovely for the evening for relaxing or playing a board game. There are snacks and little souvenirs to buy also at reception. A nice hotel which served its purpose as a quick stopover very well.

United KingdomThere weren't many facilities around, but that was part of the charm of the hotel's location. Closest petrol station and restaurant was a 20 minute's drive on the Vik direction or 30 minutes towards Vatnajökull. The room price was a little on the expensive side, but expected as the weren't many other hotels in the area (again, also a good thing, otherwise the view from the room wouldn't have been so good).
The rooms were simply decorated, but spacious and clean. There was coffee, kettle, a fridge and a safe. We had a great view of the vast grassland and mountains and could step out straight into it from the room. The breakfast buffet had a wide selection of food and the bistro dinner was decent and fairly priced for Iceland (we didn't try the buffet dinner as it was expensive).The staff was very friendly and helpful.
