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.).

SwitzerlandThe hotel was very nice, maybe the nicest we tried during our journey in Iceland. It is very close to the waterfall. Breakfast was really good, and the restaurant had a good proposal (in line with the other restaurants in Iceland).

The breakfast being included was a huge bonus as there weren't a ton of restaurant options in the area. We also had dinner in the hotel restaurant, which was delicious! We also enjoyed the common area since we were a group of 6 and were able to socialize afterwards before returning to our own rooms.

United KingdomSmall place but excellent location if you want to see northern lights. There is nothing nearby so if you want to eat be prepared to pay hotel prices ( although it’s very pricy as everything else in Iceland that food was absolutely amazing, freshly prepared, vey tasty and well seasoned )
Lady at the reception was absolutely amazing ( think she was Romanian) she couldn’t do enough for us and nothing was problem. She offers to us wake up call ( know on the door) if northern light will appear and she did. Thanks to her we got to see them.

breakfast was nice with adequate variety of food provided. Room was clean and adequate in size. "aurora warning" service worked and allowed us to see the no. 1 reason for our trip close to the North Pole Circle

Remote but beautiful location only a few minutes by car from Gulfoss falls. Modern, clean hotel with a nice lounge and dining area. Food was absolutely superb. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The staff even offer a Northern Lights 'wake-up' service so you don't miss them (cloudy when we stayed unfortunately). Would highly recommend.
