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 StatesNothing about this place. However, Iceland as a tourist destination is completely over-rated, very expensive ($20 for a veggie Subway sandwich) and very disappointing. Wasted our 5 days here - there are better glaciers in Alaska, or hot springs in Costa Rica. A lot of driving for very little upside - better cliffs and landscapes in Scotland, Ireland, India, and pretty much anywhere else
Everything - very helpful staff, amazing location

United KingdomThe hotel is simply and very stylishly decorated. The chalets had everything we needed.Fabulous shower. The food was excellent - breakfast buffet offered a very broad range of food. Dinner was also great, salmon fresh from the stream which runs behind the lodge, beautifully cooked. My husband lived the lamb After a long day trekking the hot tubs were a real treat. Best of all were the staff, all of them delightful but a special mention for Sigi she worked out an itinerary for us on the 2 days we stayed there plus printed off our tickets. Highly recommend this lodge

SloveniaThe room was very cosy and had everything we needed (coffee machine with capsules 😍😍😍) The lounge and restaurant are very nicely designed. The staff were the most pleasant and accommodating. We had a dinner there that was delicious and also not too expensive.. what saved pur day was the hot tubs - after a long hike in wind and rain we were lucky to have this luxury and we were all alone and it was just magic!

United StatesA real minor point - better blackout curtains for room windows
The staff were delightful - engaging and informative (suggestions on local walks to river, salmon runs). The main lodge building was full of light, comfortable seating. Lounge space was great for a drink or to sit for coffee. Breakfast was superb. Layout of hot tubs gave privacy with stunning views. Rooms were tiny but well appointed. The walk along the East Ranga river and bird songs were soothing, with great views of Mt Hekla.

EstoniaAurora is our favorite hotel in Iceland! It is just sublime. The picturesque location, very comfortable rooms for excellent sleep, absolutely delicious breakfast with buttermilk pancakes, and of course, the wonderful staff.

United StatesThe cabin experience with a great view of wide outdoor expanse was wonderful but the sound proofing was inadequate. There were eight rooms per same roof and the neighbors sound could be heared especially walking sound.
All the staff were so kind and provided top level services. Both breakfast and dinner meals were excellent. The lobby, the bar and the restaurant all had very comfortable ambiance. Facilities and and amenities were very good. Easy checkin and checkout processes.

it’s really a cool place!! highly recommended, with super comfortable nice rooms, fully equipped, in a wooden frame, stylish and easy to find, in a wonderful spot. The main building with reception has an attractive look and the attention to details is exceptional. The breakfast is served at a top level, with all you can wish, delicate scrambled eggs, delicious blueberry muffins. The location is perfect for a long stay or just a show up for fishing. Go on this way!!!! 👍🏻

United StatesAbsolutely amazing stay- this was our favorite hotel on our vacation. The rooms were nicely decorated, the bed was so comfy. The free hot tubs were wonderful after a full day of hiking. And the breakfast- the tiny pancakes and scrambled eggs were to die for, and so many options of other breakfast foods. I would recommend this hotel to anyone in a heartbeat, and hope to come back.
