Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

MexicoThe breakfast buffet was super crowded and a lot of food was not available.
The location in the middle of the forest was incredible. We arrived in the hotel late at night kind of in emergency situation because we had a reservation in Seyðisfjörður but the road was closed because of a snow storm. We were at Vök baths trying to find a last minute room to stay immediately and it was such a relief to find this deal, just 30 minutes away from where we were. The staff was incredibly nice and the hotel is cozy.

United KingdomThe breakfast staff were cleaning the breakfast away at 9-9.30am (breakfast is meant to be servered until 10am). They had run out of lots of items and then cleared away the rest early. The staff were also quite rude when I was trying to get their attention, to ask which items were safe to eat, as I am unable to eat gluten. A disappointment after the evening buffet and staff being so excellent. The hot tub isn't open in the morning.
We had the evening buffet which was really great value for money. The forest location.

United StatesWe were not informed by the hotel when we booked that the Kol Restaurant would be closed for the winter so we only had a buffet choice for dinner (we knew that was our breakfast option but thought we had a nice option for dinner). Both dinner and breakfast had a lot of choices but most were mediocre.
Beautiful location and views. Good sized room.

IcelandA hotel in this price category should have shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. In the reception/lobby/bar area are some sofa tables with multiple cracks and scratches and that unfortunately downgrades the whole area which is otherwise nicely done. It doesn't cost much to buy new sofa tables in Ikea and it would all look and feel a lot better to sit there and enjoy a glass of wine or beer. Our room had a terrace with a view but there were no chairs to sit on outside, it would be so nice to enjoy the view in front of your own room, instead of going to the bar that actually doesn't have a nice view at all. The outside of the hotel doesn't fit the inside at all. I feel the outside needs a renovation and repaint to really reflect the inside and modern rooms better. There were no EV chargers which I would expect for a hotel of this size and also based on its location, 25km away from the next town. Please add them for next summer!
This is an older hotel and I feel they've done a great job with renovating the rooms in this hotel. The rooms are very modern and up to date on what you would expect for a new hotel. Breakfast in the winter garden is very nice so you can enjoy the view and sun (if there is sun). The lobby/reception/bar area has a modern look & feel and there were dice, playing cards etc for guests. Since this is a big hotel it is perfect for bigger groups and families, they also have a big outside hot tub and spa area.

NorwayVery high prices in the restaurant. Although food in the entire region is quite expensive.
A great place for a reasonable price. The service is beyond praise, as in 5*. Many thanks to the administrator for letting us in at night! Our room was small, but perfectly clean, with everything needable. Breakfast is a buffet, for every taste, there is enough of everything, there is no need to rush so as not to stay hungry, and a big plus - breakfasts up to 10, you can sleep longer) The room has many sockets in convenient places, several lighting options, a comfortable bed and pillows, heating
