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.).

CanadaConstruction was a bit annoying but i think was reflected in price. Restaurant across the way was a bit of a tourist trap. Food was subpar and expensive. Parking was our biggest complaint as one night we had to park a couple blocks away?
Was a cool touristy viking theme.breakfast was really good. Staff were freindly.

United StatesThe bed situation. Maybe unique to our needs? There were two of us in one of the "cabins". It is said to sleep 5 and yes, there is a queen and 3 twins. The cabin has a loft with a slanted ladder that leads up to 2 of the twin beds. I think that if you have calm , older children that don't engage in horseplay, it would be fine. I didn't have those kinds of children so I would have been worried about that bed set up. The downstairs beds were a twin over queen situation. There was no safety rail on the twin, so if you have an active sleeper on the top bunk, you may find yourself with a falling object landing on you in the middle of the night. There was a memory topper on the bed-a big plus for us with older arthritic bones. The bed is pushed against the wall so can only be entered or exited from one side. Since I get up 2 to 3 times a night, I took the exit side of the bed. That means my husband who uses a cpap machine had the wall side of the bed. The side with no plug and no shelf. We had to put his cpap on the top bunk and rig up an extention cord to plug in on my side and got the tube to come down the wall side of the bunk-there was just barely room. In addition, there is a large and bulky ladder that leads to the top bunk which takes up almost half of the length of the bed so I would have to accordian my legs up to get out of the bed. The bathroom: heated floors are lovely! What is not lovely is the small corner shower, like a rounded on one side triangle. The doors close at the point at which the shower aims. It didn't leak (yet) but the sliding shower door kept coming off it's rails. My husband had to reseat it every time we used it. The hot water smelled like sulfer but that is from the geothermally heated water. Use the cold to make tea and coffee because it does not smell that way, There is a shelving unit that has an electric kettle for tea and coffee, but you can't use it without moving it close to the plug.
The check in was easy. Breakfast was good with a number of food choices served buffet style. There were waffles, oatmeal, coldcuts, cheese, breads, hard boiled eggs, fruit, like bananas and melons, pourable yoghurt, cucumbers, bell peppers served from 6 to 10 am. There was a hot tub and sauna which we did not use. It had a fridge (no microwave though.)

United StatesThis was a fun viking-themed hotel. The room had a little more space than some of the other places we stayed while in Iceland, which was nice. Even though there was construction happening, it was still relatively easy to find parking. The breakfast was good and had long hours. We chose this location because it was between Reykjavik and the airport for our last night, and I'm glad we did. Thanks!

United KingdomOur Viking-style cottage was on the tired side and the bunk beds weren't fastened to the wall, making them tip when my son climbed the ladder. The restaurant was also poor: again, amazing theming and the staff were great but the food was overcooked (lamb)/soggy (fish & chips) and expensive, even for Iceland. It was the final night of our trip and we were looking forward to our stay and a great meal but left disappointed. They were doing some construction work on the hotel during our stay so hopefully they'll give the cottages some TLC soon.
Really cool Viking theme - they really went all out!

LithuaniaBooking said "landmark view", but the view was to the construction and somebody's yard. Construction started quite early in the morning - not unreasonably, but do not expect to sleep in. There was a balcony accessible to anybody from the corridor, which then allowed them to see into the room close to the window. People kept going there being loud and the door did not isolate any noise. The bathroom had only one dim light above the sink and you had to close the door while showering not to set the alarm off - so forget about seeing well when showering.
Themed place, very interesting to walk around - like in a museum.

United StatesThe smell of the water was AWFUL. There are signs all over saying not to worry about the sulfur smell of the water…it comes from the geothermal pools and it’s good for your skin. Great, but I really disliked reeking of rotten eggs after bathing and trying to brush our teeth with this water was horrible. It tastes as bad as it smells, despite the sign saying it was safe to drink. The bathroom smelled so bad after we showered that we had to keep the door shut. Oh, and there are no ventilation fans in the bathroom (we didn’t come across any on our trip, so guess this is t a ting in Iceland)
The location was nice, though parking was limited at the hotel. We had to park next door at the restaurant, but it is close. The room was comfortable. We really appreciated the small refrigerator and electric kettle in the room. The hot tub and sauna were great.
