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 StatesShower did not drain so we got water all over the bathroom. We also had a hard time keeping dirt out of the interior, as there was a large dirt patch right in front of the door, and no mat to wipe our boots off
Location was great- secluded and quiet. Not far from the nearest town for supplies. View was spectacular and space was beautiful

NetherlandsNothing to be honest. There was a bit of water seeping through the dome near the entrance when we arrived and it’s because of the storm with strong winds. After wiping the floor it was resolved… it didn’t bother us at all.
It’s super cozy. You have all the amenities you will need. Enough warming equipment to keep the place warm. Kitchen amenities with dishwasher and microwave are so convenient. Hot tub was amazing! The bbq grill is a plus but mot able to use it due to weather. The property management were very responsive and supportive throughout our stay. Love that it’s isolated but few minutes drive to Selfoss. In spite of the stormy weather during our stay, we were given a window time to see the most beautiful Aurora Borealis display we have seen so far in Iceland. We also got a special Christmas present from the property… a big chocolate Christmas tree with treats inside (see photo)!!! Thank you so much!

United StatesReading the reviews people said it was a little cold during the colder months and it was a little colder after we used up the wood. It was cozy with the wood and would have liked to have a few more pieces to keep it warmer. The bed could also use a mattress topper as it is uncomfortable, especially if you are on the thinner side. Lastly the shower doesn’t quite seal completely and it leaks easily, so you do need to be careful with that.
Great experience, my whole family loved it. The globe has everything you need, plus some. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights while we were there as well!

United KingdomNo complaints. Everything went really well.
Amazing accommodation in an incredible setting. Although an expensive nightly rate, this was well worth the money for a unique experience. It was a very cold November night however the various heating options (Log Burner, Electric Heater and Diesel Heater) ensured we didn't get cold. Hot tub is awesome, and ample cooking facilities. A simply awesome spot to have a beautiful chilled evening

United StatesNothing bad to say.
I cannot say enough good about this property. It was our favorite place we stayed on this trip, and I wish we had had the foresight to book a longer stay. We saw amazing views of northern lights with amenities like restaurants and grocery stores down the road. The Globe is immaculate and very cozy. Hosts were very responsive and hospitable. We will definitely be back!

Its a very different space with very good facilities. The hot tub was amazing. You have good facilities to coock your own meals.

United StatesNo real complaints. The front curtain is definitely needed early in the morning since the sun comes up in that direction and the heat comes right through the window, but that’s no fault of the owners.
It is a very cool and unique looking property in a wide open area with great views all around.

United Kingdomall floors were ice cold with soaking with wet mats as rain pours in . the tent is not water tight so rain snow and wind shared the tent with us for the whole night . Very very cold and open to the elements in the tent . No oven or microwave to cook a meal , no egg cups or chopping board . Hot tub was muggy water with dirt / grit in the tub with a froth like scum so we couldn’t use . Owner said it was fine and just been cleaned . Freezing cold big heater there but booking guidance said only use with help of owner guidance but she didn’t answer the phone to us to help so we froze the whole night . Settee is so wet and snowed and rained on us as we watched the tv . We actually had video of the snow and rain blowing into tent on top of us
Lovely location , modern inside , very clean ( cleaning man was lovely )

United Kingdomthinking about when I booked a tent for £400 I was sure that I could expect something like a hotel of at least 4stars but I was wrong, what I found when I got there surprised me very negatively, all carpets were wet, heating was by industrial radiators, hot tube was more for someone who likes water at 6.5 degrees, I was convinced that the water would be above 36 celsius, I’m very disappointed!!! I planned a nice romantic evening with my wife but it turned out to be a failure!!! You can get a hotel Grimsborgir, 5stars for that price, I regret not doing it!!!
