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 StatesProbably the most expensive restaurant during our whole 8-day stay around Iceland, but thankfully breakfast was included so it balanced out a bit. The food was great though.
The proximity to the waterfall makes this hotel perfect! You can walk right to it. The rooms were a great size, and the coffee/tea/hot cocoa maker for guests was a big hit. And love that breakfast is included!

IcelandThe bunk beds creek a lot when the kids moved an inch. Became rather tiresome when they were trying to fall asleep but in the end they did. When it rained there were some noises from the drops falling from the roof. Something that is easily fixed with a gutter. Pretty sure this problem only exists for the room in the end of the hotel.
Everything was great. Service was superb and went out of their way to solve a problem we had which made the trip a lot better for one of our family member. Breakfast was very nice and wide range of food to enjoy in the morning. Access to free coffee and hot chocolate which the kids loved. Very close to Skógarfoss which was nice, you could basically just put your shoes on and be at the waterfall in 3-5 minutes.

Amazing location not far from the meeting point for the glacier walk. The waterfall is amazing and you can see it from the restaurant probably 300 metres from the hotel. Food in restaurant is reasonably priced and really good quality. Great all round experience

United StatesOur room was so hot. We adjusted the thermostat on the wall, but it was still uncomrtably hot, so we opened a window, which helped a little.
The location right next to the waterfall was a real treat. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was phenomenal- above expectations.

United KingdomThe only downside to this hotel is that it is a bit expensive. The room was ok but not very spacious and the bathroom had a bad smell from the plumbing.
The hotel is located a few meters from the Skógafoss waterfall, the room we stayed in had a view of the waterfall. The hotel staff was very friendly with us and they were advising us what to visit around. The hotel offers a very complete and varied breakfast. It was a pity that when we stayed there were few rooms occupied and at breakfast time we were placed in the dining room at the back of the hotel and did not have views of the waterfall as the photos of the hotel show. The hotel has a restaurant for lunch and dinner, the food was very good.
