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 shower water pressure was really bad and light bulbs could be brighter in the bathroom.
Stunning scenery around and lovely accommodation. We only had a last minute 1 night stay here.

United StatesOnly one key was provided. Although not a deal breaker for staying again, it did require some coordination for my spouse and me who have different sleep schedules. Knowing how safe Iceland is, I would stay here again if traveling solo. However, if you are female and travelling solo from the US, this location may feel a little odd when you check in as there is no on-site host. When we arrived, there was no one there and the front door was wide open. Had we not been the first arrivals that day, we may not have felt as unsure as we did. This location has three different Lambafell accommodations as well as one from another hotel group. Better signage clearly indicating that this building is located at the end of the long driveway would go a long way to making arrival feel more comfortable.
The room was comfortable. The location is good for a drive along the southern coast. We liked our room's access to the spa tub. The location was excellent for the amazing northern lights we saw. Once we found the correct location, the phone mentioned in the instructions was easy to find and the host gave me the numbers needed to access the room. The common room has lots of comfortable seating and several games. Several reviews have mentioned breakfast: Breakfast was fine (if you are from the US, this was on par with a mid-level hotel breakfast) but not as good as what we experienced at the other inns we visited during our stay.

United StatesThe hot tub could have been hotter. I think the breakfast room and the main living area need to rearranged, the layout is awkward. Our room really needed bedside lamps, and a towel warmer. We understood the check in procedure, but so many people coming in after us didn't. You should have a sign telling people to check their emails and what the free wifi network is.
Breakfast was well done, staff at breakfast was really attentive. The location was lovely, very peaceful and beautiful, though far from anywhere to eat dinner. I liked they left out treats and hot drinks for us to help ourselves to in the evenings.

CanadaThe mattress are horrible and you have to self check in by 9pm. No staff around. It is an analogue check in.
Location surrounded by nature mountains. Close to Falls. Faxy bakery nearby is very good for coffee and pasteries. The hotel UMI nearby has an amazing restaurant for dinner.This is a typical lodge.

CanadaI would have preferred a room with a view other than the parking lot, but I guess someone has to stay there. There was not a cooling unit or fan in the room, which was extremely hot and stuffy and smelled like sulphur. Although the sulphur smell from the geothermal areas was strong, it is definitely a smell you have to get used to. It wasn't terrible by any means, but it was definitely noticeable.
Loved the hospitality, although a little tough to figure out how to get into the building. I did read other reviews on the same issue, having to text on arrival, but they were super quick to respond. The amenities available on site were extremely charming. grounds were beautiful. Lots of great food available. Coming in after a long day, to find 3 layer chocolate cake waiting at midnight was super charming. Breakfast had a great variety, variety of coffee types, tea and snacks throughout the day if you were there during that time, and treats at night. And EPIC photos of the area!!
