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 KingdomThe location was beautiful even with the bad weather. The dome was a bit cold at night and you could feel a bit of a draft from the 'window' and door and the heating ag times wasn't enough - we opted to not use the fireplace as we have two very young children. The staff was amazing and even came over to offer an extra heater without us even asking for it. The whole place was comfortable and as a breastfeeding mum I really appreciated the armchairs and sofa - they also provided extra pillows and blanket for me and my baby to stay comfy during night feeds. Thank you for the memorable stay!

United StatesWe wish there were instructions on fireplace operations (like where the firesticks were) beforehand but that is minor stuff. Also, the floor had some cracks but again nothing at all to take away from the experience.
The property was amazing. Klaudia gave us amazing service as the manager. The rooms were well equipped and clean. Instructions to check in were great. We had no experience with the fireplace, but Klaudia and her team responded quickly. They even gave us a complimentary bottle of wine. They responded to need for wood and fresh towels quickly. We would definitely come back and stay at Circle Domes.

Amazing location, in the middle of nowhere! I would suggest to grab some groceries before you arrive as the first grocery store in 20 min away. Other than that, the Dome is really cozy and the view is stunning

United KingdomWe stayed in Dome 2 which has a bit of damage/repair attempt to the front window which does obscure view slightly. Unfortunately the electric tripped during our stay which was sorted promptly. Also, we ran out of logs at 6am which wouldn’t have been a problem if it wasn’t an extremely cold January morning in Iceland! The host sorted both without delay when we reported each matter.
A truly unique experience with stunning views especially at sunset. The dome was very well equipped, it even had an electric blanket which we used because temps were minus 14°c! The fire was good, beds comfortable and a nice private space to relax in.

United StatesThe door didn't close properly but was addressed quickly and the door was sealed with toilet paper to try and keep the cold out. With both provided heaters running and maintaining a fire throughout the night it was still uncomfortably cold.

NetherlandsAt first we didn’t get wood for lighting fire a second round. As it was -17 outside and the two electric heaters cannot make the cabin warm enough (it was 9 degrees when we arrived and when we woke up), this was important to get comfortable. But they brought us enough later, which was great. The place is a once in a lifetime experience!
Beautiful designed dome with a terrific view on white snowy fields and the lake further away. Do make sure you don’t receive done 5 as it does not have any view. A bottle of wine upon arrival.

United KingdomDear Golden circle domes Lakeview, I am writing to say thank you for a wonderful stay on your luxurious, comfy and glamorous Igloo dome. The night stay way a surprise, which ended up as a proposal. On arrival, the romantic twinkly lights lit up the dome and the sunset and surrounding areas made it a perfect location for a getaway. When entering the dome, the room was decorated with balloons, petals, candles, cake and a very lovely bottle of champagne. This personal touch made the environment perfect for the proposal. Inside the dome, the amenities were delightful, we had fresh towels, coffee, toiletries and we loved using the logs on the fire. The view from the top bed looked directly up to the stars and made the stay unforgettable. We made very good friends with the woodcutter and handy man who supported us in a snowy ordeal. The staff were friendly and supported to us during this time. We appreciate the effort that has gone into making this the perfect stay and will recommend to our friends. Thank you again!
