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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United KingdomRemember you are in a very fancy tent on the glacier lagoon rather than a hotel room :) All very clearly communicated so no surprise, but beware that the toilet is a fraction of an airplane toilet with no real door, there is no shower, and you need to be super careful with everything.
A unique experience you will always remember. The private boat tour to the cabin with our guide Thomas was amazing. The view and serenity are second to none. The cabin is modern and clean. The bed is comfy. Temperature was great. The included food was delicious and so much.

This experience is truly amazing. It's an adventure stay not just accommodation. You get a boat tour of the lagoon and glacier before arriving at your pod. Floating amongst the icebergs watching the sunset colours on the glacier and lagoon is priceless. The supplied food is generous but you can bring along a backpack of special treats

South AfricaWe had perfect weather, but I can imagine if it was raining or very windy it would be challenging and not quite as epic as it could be.
This was an epic experience and location. The setting was surreal with the glacier ice falling into the lagoon. Unforgettable experience .

United KingdomNo sugar for coffee; oh I forgot, nothing actually matters, really, because this truly is an amazing experience.
Just stay here. You'll never forget it. There are three pods but they're hundreds of meters apart. You're basically alone on a glacial.lagoon in front of a glacial snout and icebergs go floating by.

This was a once in a lifetime stay in a glacier lagoon with a view of the glacier. Since it’s light all night in summer we could enjoy the view all night. The hut/boat/igloos is cozy and warm and makes good use of the space. Bed was comfortable. Loved it! The boat ride to the accommodations was also so cool!

AustraliaNothing. The only feedback I would give is to provide a pan for the stove top - it would have been great to be able to heat the burrito provided for dinner. Or maybe a toaster - it would have been nice to be able to toast bread provided for breakfast.
The staff and location - both exceptional

Hong KongWind was very strong (likes wind by typhoon) that should be careful the chairs/table placed outside can be blowed out into the lagoon. Before entering the hut, pls make sure you had visited toliet. I dont recommend leaving poo in the toliet of hut.
A 15mins "private" glacier lagoon boat tour by experienced tour guide was provided before arriving the living hut. The hut was unexpected warm that creating a comfortable sleeping place in glacier lagoon. An wonderful experience we wake up by the sun rising reflected by glacier.

This is a truly unique way to experience the beauty of Iceland and specifically the Fjallsarlon lagoon. Our guide took us on a private tour of the lagoon on our way to the Aurora Hut. We celebrated our wedding anniversary with champagne and a spectacular view.
