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 StatesRooms could have been closer together as requested. Two rooms with two single beds each were expected and one room only had a double bed. One room had awful sewage smell that came from the bathroom. It still was there (though not as strong) after I had asked someone to address it. The other room with only a double bed had a huge amount of dust accumulated on one side of the room.
Breakfast was adequate, but don’t expect more than scrambled eggs with a bunch of Costco items. The hot tub was nice and I was happy to see it being cleaned every day.

United KingdomCheck in was a little difficult . There was a young girl running it , but she was difficult to locate & busy doing her own thing. I rang two mobile numbers , one was busy and the other left me hanging on the line . The first night we were kept awake until 3am by a very noisy group . The following night was great.
Breakfast was very good every morning . The location is lovely.

Malaysiawe waited almost 5 hours at the reception and no one was there, the phone at the reception was not working. after 5 hours, the staff came and showed us the room, he was not apologetic. After about 5 minutes, he said we didn’t pay when we obviously did. we showed him the proof of payment together with the confirmation from booking.com. He just shrugged his head and CHASED US OUT of the room. We asked him for the manger’s number he just pointed the reception phone and asked us to call the number which we had been calling for 5 hours. No other solution was offered. We were stranded there for another 40 minutes and the same staff came back again. He led us to the same room and we were very confused and frustrated at that time. what’s worst is after we moved our luggage into the room, we realized the key could not be pulled out from the room. We tried to call reception again but to no avail. We had to move our tables and chairs behind the door to avoid someone from barging in. We told the staff the next day about the key problem and he was like ‘ya, I know’.???????????????????????????? then I remember he used a big pliers to take out the room key the first time after he chased us out. I’m so so so confused????????
the building itself is quite nice

United StatesI don't think I disliked anything about this place. Everything was great. I would definitely stay here again.
Due to road closures we had to frantically book two hotel rooms somewhere on road 1 at the last minute. Lambafell was available and I booked it without reading reviews. The place was phenomenal. Rooms were spacious enough (we had two twin beds pushed together, what we asked for), the bathroom was spacious, the shower was great. Check-in was simple (I had received the codes for the key lock boxes via e-mail). Everything was clean. The continental breakfast had a decent selection of food available. The hot tub was right outside our room (we had a door leading to it, actually) and while that could be a downfall if guests are rude, we had no issues and definitely enjoyed seeing the stars and the Northern Lights from the warmth of a hot tub. There are two amazing waterfalls nearby. I wish we had stayed here a few days prior, we stayed somewhere nearby but nowhere near as nice.

United StatesNo notes - it was a wonderful stay!
The hotel was incredibly inviting and clean. It is situated just at the base of a beautiful mountain, and the balcony off our room gave us a gorgeous view of the surrounding landscape. The room itself was extremely comfortable - extra blankets and pillows for everyone, a mini-fridge for our food supplies, and plenty of space. Breakfast was great as well - the staff was very helpful and attentive. We especially appreciated the contactless checkin/checkout process. We ended up stranded at the hotel for one day of our stay due to dangerous weather conditions, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to hunker down. We even got some use out of the hottub before the storm rolled in! All in all, we had a fantastic time at Welcome Lambafell and would definitely book again!

New ZealandI’m not sure why the code for our rooms couldn’t be emailed to us like all the other places we have stayed in in Iceland. For some reason you have to make a phone call when you arrive to get the code.
Lovely warm, spacious log cabin style property about a 10 minute drive from Skogfoss waterfall. Good sized bedroom with large bathroom and great shower! The large open plan living area was lovely to sit in and the breakfast in the morning was a bonus. There was a nice wee restaurant just 3 kms down the road.

Excellent breakfast to cater for people from different countries, Good location, good place to stay for ferry to Westmann Islands and for various waterfalls and sights in the Vik area. Less than 5 mins from the Ring Road. Nice hot tub, just sit there and look at the mountains, you can even see the Westmann Islands from there,
