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 KingdomThe most pricey place I stayed. Bed was comfy and clean but was actually two single pushed together with a double sheet and duvet not a double bed
Good size room with en suite. Two hot tubs and saunas (actually saw Northern Lights from the tub!). Very clean and spacious place, easy to find, just off Highway 1 in Hella. Breakfast buffet was very good and varied.

PolandWe booked this place bacuse of hot tub and sauna to watch northern lights. Hot tub was out of order, out of four saunas only one was turned on, and wow it did not deliver. Wind blowing through the holes and overall temperature around 60C (if you were sitting, laying down on bench it was much colder). Bedsheet had literal holes in it (pic attached), dust balls under bed did not see vacuum for days at least. Hotel does have aurora corridor, but it's roof was covered in layer of ice, and lights were turned on inside, so despite nice show on the sky nothing was visible from the viewing place - don't get excited about it. Hotel offers aurora alert - they promise to let you know (even wake up) when lights light up the sky - we got no notification throughout our stay, good thing we were looking out for aurora ourselves, otherwise we'd miss it.
Aurora borealis. Location is great too. Ok breakfast

United KingdomThe rooms are not soundproof. There was a school trip staying at the same time as us, and we were disturbed late at night by loud talking and laughing. The car park was very icy, we needed to use our crampons to comfortably get back and forth the car
Our room was very warm and comfortable, and a perfect location along the ring road. The restaurant was amazing, the best meal of our trip. Highly recommend the Caesar salad! Breakfast was also wonderful which set us up early enough to get back on the road for the golden circle leg of our trip.

United KingdomWe found the bedroom a little small and had to leave our cases in the living area. We could have done with another sofa in the apartment, 4 adults on a sofa for two meant we had to use the dinning chairs which weren't comfortable to sit on.
Nice to park our car next to our two bedroom accommodation. The Hot tub was excellent. The Bar and restaurant were really good, we had a lovely meal on the night we stayed. The room was well heated and if we had wanted to make our own food everything was there to do so.

United StatesThe beds could be more comfortable and use real eggs for breakfast.
Staff was very friendly, Aurora wake-up was great so we got to see it during our trip, restaurant was very good, and breakfast was almost great. The eggs were powdered? Everything else at breakfast was very good although staff couldn’t keep up with the number of diners (plates, silverware, and juices were out at times).
