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.).

AustraliaIt's definitely not a Guesthouse. That's misleading. The accommodation is in cabins, a complex of four separate rooms in each building. Other cabins take families - they looked a bit more spaceous. Our double room was very small, barely enough for the bed, a table and a chair. Walls are thin and you can hear snoring from next door.
The position was great. Some rooms face the lake with a lovely view. Our room faced a lava field. However, as it turned out, the Northern lights were playing on our night and the lava field was dark and so, better for viewing ! The breakfast, over the road in a different building was excellent, providing waffle pancakes as well as the usual range of savoury and sweet. and the view from the breakfast room over the lake was lovely. The room and private bathroom were very clean, beds were comfortable, heating was good. A shared space was available for cooking and eating in another building.

United StatesWiFi had trouble intermittently
Cute facility that reminded me of cabin back home in US. Great location on lake and right near the Dimmuborgir lava pillars. Easy ride around lake for other attractions and only a few kilometers from the "main" town of Myvatn with gas, grocery, and other supplies. Only a few kilometers from the Myvatn Nature Baths also. Room was small but adequate for one. Private shower and toilet always appreciated and shared kitchen facilities available. Bed was quite comfortable. WiFi was fairly good, had trouble last evening connecting. Buffet breakfast was excellent and varies with boiled eggs, cheese, meat, fruit, skyr and yogurt, and waffles.

Great place to stay if visiting lake vatyn, geothermal sites, lave fields and nature spa

United StatesHearty, delicious breakfast with a warm touch - felt like family. The highlight of our stay! I saw some online posts about local insects in Lake Myvatn before leaving. I was very happy to find that there were no insects in the room when stayed in. Share this with others who have the same concerns like me:)

LatviaBathroom had issues with water going away in showers, it was wet all the time. In overall the cottage and kitchen were a bit worn-off. Cottage is pretty small - we were 3 people (2 adults and 1 kid) so it was more or less OK but for 3 of 4 adults it would be challenging.
Great location next to the lake, in the lava field. Pretty nice breakfast with possibility to cook waffles. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed.

GermanyUnfortunately, it rained during our stay and temperatures were below 10°C. The heating in the cabin wasn’t working, and despite reporting it, no one addressed the issue. Although we’re not easily bothered, the night was quite uncomfortable. The cabin’s amenities were adequate but rather basic. I find the price of nearly €400 per night unjustified for this accommodation.
A beautiful resort located on the shore of lake Mývatn. Our cabin was right on the front row, offering a great view of the lake. The breakfast was fantastic, and the team was very friendly and helpful when assisting us with booking a whale safari.

United StatesThe room was very small. There was not enough table space, no night table space on one side. The bathroom door was incredibly large and kept opening. Consequently impinging on the limited space in the bedroom.
The location and its proximity to things we planned to do was great. Shared kitchen was great. Hot, powerful shower was great.

SpainWe tried repeatedly to contact the property by both email and telephone, but to no avail until hours before arrival. The bathroom in one of the rooms was very musty, which was very unpleasant.
The rooms were clean and spacious enough. A self-service check-in was welcome as we arrived very late. The breakfast was good and the facilities were ok. The location, right on lake Mývatn, is very nice, well marked and easy to find. On site, there are kitchen facilities and a laundry room, all of which is very convenient.

United StatesThe individual rooms were a little small, but did include two very comfortable chairs. (Too many hotel rooms only have one chair these days, meaning that one of a couple has to make do with sitting on a bed.)
The location is fabulous with the Myvatn Nature Baths and various volcanic features, including two craters to climb. The rooms were very clean and well furnished, if a little small. The buffet breakfast was copious and the dining room overlooking the Lake Myvatn was delightful.
