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 reviewRooms in the main building seemed to be significantly larger and nicer than those located in the other buildings on site. Family ended up with a room the size of a college dorm and without any heat. We had a completely different experience in the main building where the room was larger and things were better taken care of.
The entire bathroom gets wet when taking a shower. I’d recommend a pair of sandals for bathroom use after someone takes a shower.

the toilet stinks because the exhaust tube is protruding on the wall, the use of a shower curtain projects an unclean toilet facility

Verified reviewLocation was good and peaceful. The dinner Restaurant was good although the pizza was rather burnt. My lamb dish was very good.
There was no elevator so one needed to carry suitcases upstairs. Breakfast buffet was good but a little crowded.

Verified reviewConvenient location
It was expensive for 2 basic rooms. The breakfast was overpriced as they ran out of tea, plain yogurt and the selection was poor for the price.

Verified reviewWe stayed here for a brief night in Höfn but were met with a nice and comfortable room after a long day of travel. They accommodated our request of having separate twin beds.
There was a massive fly in our room upon arrival that we had to kill with a flip flop. The decoration and materials in the hotel room felt a bit cheaply made and the bathroom floor got pretty wet since there wasn't a physical division between the shower and the rest of the bathroom aside from the shower curtain itself. It would have been nice to have breakfast included but the pricing was a bit egregious so we opted to get it on the road instead.

Verified reviewGood location
The room was clean but heavily fragranced, and mold was growing on the walls of the shower. Very small bathroom. The mattress was saggy and uncomfortable. Our stay was fine, but we would choose elsewhere next time.

Over $500 for one night for a tiny room, with paper thin walls, and a smelly wetbath that I refused to shower in.

Overpriced compared to other hotels we stayed in - for example it was double priced as was the Hotel Geysir which was, however, uncomparably better.

Verified reviewThe property is in a lovely area by the bay and there’s a great little path close by. You can walk easily around the town from the hotel to restaurants. Room view was nice and bed comfy. It is a basic hotel
Unfortunately my bathroom had some mould on the walls The bathrooms are very small I could hear noises from the next door rooms through the walls There is no lift so be aware if you can’t carry your suitcases up potentially 3 stairs The hotel was very overpriced for what it was I just stayed the night as I did book late and really needed a place to stay and everything seemed to be booked in town.
