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 reviewSpacious and comfy beds. Each bed has its own curtain, light and electricity plug so it's very convenient and it give intimacy though you are sharing a room with other travellers. It was clean. Nice to have a hot tub and sauna, though neither were not hot enough on our first night.
We were picturing this place in a remote place but it's at the end of an industrial-style alley. The kitchen isn't very equipped : only microwaves and kettle to cook and the kitchen is very small for all the travellers.

Verified reviewMidgard Base Camp is an amazing place. Great atmosphere, super organized, and their super jeep tours are unforgettable. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the rooftop hot tub and sauna are just perfect after a long day. Special thanks to Gina, who immediately fixed my booking mistake (I had booked the wrong date for a jeep tour) and made sure I didn’t miss it.. she was fantastic! Also, Mattea was super kind and helpful throughout my stay. Special thanks to the amazing Izak, our super jeep guide, who brought so much personality and energy to the tour. He kept us laughing the whole way, and everything he shared was insightful and fascinating. Highly recommended!

Verified reviewLiked the central location
There was a band playing until 11:00pm when we were trying to sleep as we had to get on road very early in morning. Liked the idea of music but after a long day 11:00pm was late for us

Verified reviewVery good facilities. We really benefited from the laundry and dryer machines. Rooms and bathrooms were kept clean as well.
At night, some of the top bunk beds were a little hot. Even when we open the window, some of us didn't feel cool air.

Verified reviewI like the amenities it has for traveler, laundry, dryer for swim suites and blower for wet shoes. All the small stuff matters. Also like that it has a lot of bathrooms
I would suggest that they have a snack vending machine maybe or sell some late night snack specially for travelers who came in late from the road or travel that would be a plus.

Verified reviewFriendly, with a great vibe and all the facilities to have a great stay, including a rooftop hot tub with stunning views across to the glacier Eyjafjallajökull. Our 4-bed family room was perfect for us as a party of two adults and two teenagers, staying 3 nights while exploring the local area. The free boot and jacket drying facilities were really useful. We enjoyed breakfast and a couple of dinners at the on-site restaurant. Great location for the lava centre, thermal river, Seljalandsfoss waterfall, glacier hiking at Sólheimajökull and all the activities in Vik. We also took one of Midgard's Super Jeep tours to Fjallabak - highly recommended for stunning views around every turn.
