Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

There was an loud and long fireworks right next to the hotel around 2300 that was very disruptive to those sleeping.
Many options were all available on site to include a bar and restaurant.

The window in the room could do with a lick of paint. That's all i had.
Our room was very nice. Comfy bed so we had a great sleep. We saw the northern lights over the hotel from the car park. Check in was very quick and easy. The breakfast was very good, plenty of options. It's continental but a good one. The shower has great pressure i liked the tiles on the walls. I would definitely recommend this hotel. It has everything you want for your ring road journey. Value, comfy beds, views, location, great breakfast and friendly staff.

- • Stayed 1 night

Who designs a hotel with the laundry area opposite a guest room? How do I know? I sneaked into the place next door to find out why my wall was vibrating all night; you had an industrial washing machine against it. I even tried to sleep with my noise cancelling headphones on, but I couldn't. I paid 130€ for this and I got no rest. There is no excuse.
What did I like? You are a hotel and I regret not sleeping in my car instead, so excuse me for not bothering to find anything positive.

Apart from the breakfast (room), nothing could meet our expectations, based on the things shown / written here. In generel the reception, the staircase and especially our room (incl. bath room), are pretty old and kind of outdated. Our room was really small and located in the basement, directly at the footpath leading to the main entry of the hotel...: Everyone who walked by looked could see us. Additionally, the room was badly soundproofed / noisy (you could hear every single word spoken at the floor) which was enhanced by the 'unfitting', thin room door: whenever someone used the exit of the floor at the basement (somehow this happened all night long, even though it was something like an emergency exit), the door of our room was shaking too due to the draught, maiking noises. In order to sleep we had to fix the door with a towel and cotton buds (Q-Tips), which we sticked between the door and its frame. As if that was not enough: there was an unpleasent smell in the bath room. Unfortunately I really cannot agree with most of the positive reviews, especially not with mentioned renovations.
Against expectations / Unfortunately not much... The employees were kind and helpful, the breakfast offer was big and versatile.

old carpet and unable to access the room without taking large luggage up and down 2 x flights of stairs. Had a fire exit straight to carpark however was locked, would be good to have a card to swipe to make getting bags into room easier
Staff were able to change room for us quickly as bedding arrangements were not ideal
