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...).

United StatesIt is pricey but Iceland tends to be an expensive country, however we sure do love everything else about Iceland.
Our room was small but clean and comfortable. The hotel is in a nice setting close to the falls. The breakfast was very nice with a lot of options. We enjoyed having dinner in the restaurant. The food was expensive but very tasty. I am happy to recommend this hotel but be prepared to pay a high price.

GermanyCute hotel in exceptional location. Staff is very friendly and forthcoming, dinner is (expectedly) expensive, but delicious and locally sourced. Breakfast is nothing special, but solid enough. Rooms are small but very comfortable. Unfortunately, we did not have any warm/hot water to shower, maybe there was a malfunction, maybe we were just unlucky - the tea and coffee refills available to guests as well as comfortable heating in the room partially made up for it :).

Finland(one should keep in mind that there is not much other activities around - also no supermarket closeby (unless one has a car and drives a bit).
The staff was amazing and very helpful (early check-in, advice for where to go / hike, etc.). The location is extremely close to the waterfall and one can be one of the first or last people to go there and make pictures by oneself - without the tourist crowd that arrives in the later morning / midday / afternoon). One can also nicely hike above the waterfall - most tourists arrive on tours and only go below or to the starting points above - but many more waterfalls are behind Skogafoss. Also Kvernufoss is closeby and reachable via foot. The hotel restaurant is nice and offers good food. Hot water and tea / instant coffee (and creamer powder and sugar) are available in the corridor close to the rooms (no water boiler in the room, but one can get hot water in the corridor).

CanadaThe lobby was large with seating but could have had a selection of books and maybe games for when you are relaxing after an adventure.
Breakfast was fantastic. Lots of healthy options and good coffee. Nice to eat and gaze at the fantastic views of the mountains. The restaurant had good food for lunch and dinner so you did not have to drive anywhere after a long day of exploring. The staff at this hotel/restaurant were exceptional. They were friendly, welcoming, professional and made the experience perfect.

LithuaniaThe hotel is in a stunning location, right next to a waterfall. It was the most expensive hotel of our entire trip, probably because of its unique setting. However, overall, it was a clean and well-maintained hotel in a fantastic location

NetherlandsThe staff is of the upmost quality and expertise. In the restaurant its very noticable, they are educated and trained professionals. The way they explain things, talk to my 1year old, and even seat you. First people go to the back, so theres less disturbance from guests that arrive later. They are always friendly, happy to do their work, and very neat. As an ex-horeca professional, it brightened my trip to see there are still young people enthousiastic about this field. We forgot a bottle brush in our room, and they kept it at lost n found for us to retrieve it later. At pick up it was wrapped in plastic bag, to keep the hygiene. Very nice attention to detail.

RomaniaEverything was the best !
I was really impressed by how comfortable and well-equipped is this location. Starting with the staff who were very friendly, continuing with the location of the hotel, which is to 5 minutes from the beautiful Skógafoss waterfall. The hotel has a restaurant with a great panorama towards to the waterfall. The food is delicious and varied. Warm greetings and many thanks to Octavian from restaurant for his kindness and pleasant conversation.

AustraliaThe staff were so helpful getting us out when we got stuck in the snow entering the parking lot from a different road.. The coffee facility in the hall with hot chocolate and teas were lovely after going outside to see incredibly clear northern lights right outside the hotel. Minimal light pollution. Parking very close once knew where to go very handy in high winds.. Clear explanation of sulfer smell co.mon to Iceland. On the doorstep of a stunning waterfall. Supported late dinner after getting stuck. Basic but clean room with enough space for family. Breakfast included

FranceThe only thing I can think about is that you can’t low the temperature (22*C is too hot for me), so you open the window a bit
Actually I can’t think about smth that missed or was bed… It was clean, beds and pillows are comfortable, you have access to hot water/drinks, breakfast was good enough( with bacon , eggs and beans). And you re in 5 min walking from the waterfall, the unique experience to be the only one there at night :)
