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 reviewEase of check-in and comfy beds. Continental Breakfast option was affordable and yummy!
A bit sterile feeling in regards to decor. No extras, not even water glasses readily accessible.

Verified reviewLocation close to Hofn
If you can find another place to stay, I’d recommend it although this place is newer and was clean. There is no staff on site. It does not include free breakfast as most other places do and the heater is in the bathroom only. It’s just basically a big box. If you’re looking to stay in a storage shed, this is a great find!

Verified reviewIt was clean and newly renovated
Free toiletries means a soap dispenser on the wall. There is no divider between shower and toilet and you must squeegee entire bathroom after shower. No kettle. We only saw a staff member once to ask for help. Very over priced for what you get.

Verified reviewThe woman who greets you for breakfast is the sweetest person we met the entire trip-and she makes a great fried egg. The rooms were comfortable and clean with very good blackout curtains--this was the only location during our trip that I didn't have to wear a sleep mask.

Verified reviewRoom was clean and spacious enough. Was great to have the use of the breakfast room outside of breakfast hours, but the description wasn't clear. instructions on how to get into the room were good and timely
better description of the common facilities that we were able to use. I wasn't sure whether there was a fridge to put our few picnic items, nor did I realise about the use of the breakfast room with hot water, cutlery, plates etc.. until we got there so it was hard to know whether we could prepare food. We got there very late.

Verified reviewThe rooms were very clean and comfortable with a nice view. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very kind and helpful. It is very quiet, outside of town.
The floors in the rooms hurt to walk on, but we just put on socks to solve that issue.
