How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe room was a good size and had the most comfortable bed of our trip. The size was large for a family of 3 and the bathroom had a heated floor. Enjoyed the shared common area and the admission to the lagoon. It was very clean and quiet and wish we’d stayed another night.

Verified reviewLOVED this place, and I wish we could stay longer. Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful room, laundry & kitchen & coffee available in a common room, and access to the Lagoon included. The beds were super comfortable, the bathroom was nice, and the location is lovely.
Nothing, really. This place is great.

Verified reviewComfy beds, very clean room, great shower, and a nicely equipped large (shared) kitchen space and refrigerator where each room had it's own dedicated space. Being next to the lagoon with unlimited access and towels provided was a nice bonus! So great to relax after a hiking day, and being able to sleep in a quiet and comfortable room.
Nothing, everything was really nice

Verified reviewExceptional! After a long drive, we checked into our beautiful apartment and were able to chill in the lagoon. The hosts let me check in earlier- that was very kind of them! Beautiful rooms with a shared kitchen. Super calm at night. I loved strolling around. Strongly recommend!

Verified reviewBeautiful location, loved that Secret Lagoon, robe and slippers were included, airy, spacious room, and very nice kitchen.
Our door was squeaky which probably annoyed our housemates and one of the curtains needed to be charged in order to come down, pungent smell in common area (maybe from previous guests) and many flies coming in through open window. Fly situation needs to be managed - fly spray for all to use would be helpful.

Verified reviewEverything about this stay was amazing. We were not expecting such luxury in a shared setting- but the room felt as though were the first to have ever stayed- the floors were heated, everything was spotless and clean, the bathroom modern and well appointed, towels, linens, excellent blackout curtains/privacy, and the common area had everything travelers would need thoughtfully provided- including the ability to cook a meal and do laundry in a very nice setting. Access to the Secret Lagoon was seamless and an amazing amenity- can't recommend this location and accommodation enough- a true gem along the 11 days we traveled Iceland!
Can't even comment on this- it was all wonderful.

Verified reviewThis was one of our favourite places to stay on the trip. The facilities were amazing and room and shared spaces so clean. Beds were extraordinarily comfortable and blinds and curtains were black out.
The grounds is very busy with it being next to the secret lagoon so parking on arrival was an issue as needed to wait for a space, however you cant hear the crowds when in the Guesthouse.

Verified reviewThe staff is very friendly. They checked us in fast and gave a good tour of the property - answered all questions Admission to secret lagoon was included in the price - great value. We loved the experience Including Bathrobe and sandals was an additional touch. Super! Overall, a great property to stay and excellent value for the money we paid
Only minor feedback I will to the hotel management is to place a prominent sign about the accommodation. I wasn't sure if I was in the right place as the lagoon is clearly visible but the property signage is kind of hidden.

Verified reviewI loved everything about this place. The kitchen and rooms were large and very nice, Super comfortable and I would have loved to stay longer. The secret lagoon is wonderful, tho, it opens at 10 am and most would want to be on the road by then. It closes at 8pm, never seemed to be enough time to enjoy it. Whatever time we had it was a very nice experience.
Nothing to dislike! My favorite stay while in Iceland
