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 KingdomEasy check-in process, nice friendly staff! We arrived with limited suppies, limited selection on their evening meal but we were off season, both dishes were lovely. Breakfast was good with a nice selection of foods. This hotel is in a great location for Stuolagil waterfall...

United States- No black-out curtains so we couldn’t sleep well and needed an eye mask. Curtain was on a stick which looks nice but not practical as it can’t be pulled across - Breakfast was chaotic. food was the lowest quality we’ve had in Iceland and in minimal quantities (ie a few sliced eggs). it constantly ran out and we had to keep waiting for more to be made/cut. - the hotel looks more modern and fresh in the photos. it’s a basic hotel + hostel and quite overpriced for the amenities/service provided.
Clean room & bathroom Friendly staff Good food at the restaurant (dinner) Close to Studlagil canyon

NetherlandsThe curtains were hung on a wooden branch and are hard to close. We were also a bit confused about the main switch for electricity in the room. But these were only minor inconveniences.
Restaurant was excellent. Limited menu but perfect execution of the wolf fish - steak was slightly overcooked but quality of the meat made up for it. Location was very close to the Studlagil hike. Kettle for hot water is conveniently provided in the common area. Room and bathroom were clean.

CanadaThey forgot to give us the extra pillow; however, they did apologize in the morning. All was forgiven.
Great location! The staff worked hard to help us. I needed to clean the bugs off the windscreen of the rental vehicle and they were able to provide me with an old cleaning cloth with some soapy water! That really helped! They had a vegetable soup (pumpkin I believe), and it was awesome.

CanadaThe main door is closed at 10pm, even the area where the tea kettle is, and there are no kettles in the rooms - a bit inconvenient.
The large dinning room tables where you eat breakfast or hangout was very interesting. Breakfast was good and easy to coordinate. The rooms were nice, clean, and simple.
