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 KingdomIt is small but we knew that so it wasn’t an issue for us. There is a little cupboard that could do with a small heater so you can dry wet clothes as there isn’t anywhere for that. There is a microwave but it didn’t look like there were any microwave safe dishes. The bedrooms need more hooks. It is small and wouldn’t suit two sets of adults. The main issue being lack of any storage.
The location is 10/10 and it’s beautiful inside. Really close to some of the main waterfalls etc and not far from VIK. We saw the northern lights 2/2 nights which was lovely.

United StatesI honestly don't have any complaints
The breakfast (which must be ordered 24 hours in advance) was delicious and beautifully laid out. It was delivered to our door while the snow came down. The cabin also had an espresso machine that kept us caffeinated and cozy during our stay. Bring fresh cream or Oat milk from a store on your way into carbon if you prefer it over powdered, which is supplied. Wish I could have this breakfast again right now! It was also the best sleep either of us had on our trip across Iceland. I loved the cozy beds in the loft and my dad really enjoyed his bedroom downstairs. The art rotation on the television introduced us to Icelandic painters we enjoyed more than many of the museums we visited for a fun an unexpected bonus. Cannot wait to return

NetherlandsThe 2nd sleeping area (loft): The narrow steps leading to the loft can be difficult for some, and the ceiling is close to the bed on one side. I’m petite (1.63m) so it wasn’t an issue for me to sleep at the loft.
Slightly smaller than expected for 3 pax, especially with large suitcases. The unit was clean, with parking lot right in front of the porch. Location is a few mins drive from the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Kitchenette was small but functional, dishwasher was a plus point. The unit has 2 sleeping areas, ground floor bedroom and a loft. It was sufficient for 3 pax. The big windows are great for the view! We got really lucky to see the northern lights!

ThailandI was truly impressed with this hotel—the location, view, shower room and two bedrooms exceeded my expectations. The bed, blanket, and pillow were exceptionally comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep. Our room, number 10, was a studio (40 sqm), spacious enough for the three of us. Even though it wasn’t a standalone apartment, it was well soundproofed, ensuring a peaceful stay. The room was spotless, which added to the overall comfort. Breakfast was delivered to our room around 9:00 am, featuring a generous variety of items: ham, cheese, breads, fruit juice, yogurt, and an assortment of spreads including honey, Nutella, bacon sauce, butter, and various jams—plenty for each person to enjoy. The mountain view from our room was simply breathtaking. All in all, this property is an excellent choice for anyone seeking comfort, cleanliness, and stunning views. I strongly recommend it!

The apartment is very clean and nicely designed. Really nice worktop and bathroom. Kitchen has dishwasher and induction hob. It's a very nice place to spend a night if you are driving ring road or visiting South Iceland. We had the breakfast but you could easily just self cater a nice breakfast. Choice is up to you. We liked the nice tv as it is now wintry, so accommodation comfort becomes more important
