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.).

PortugalWe don’t really have anything negative to point out.
Nice hotel located in a quiet area, with parking right at the door. The room had some charm and all the necessary amenities. There is an outdoor jacuzzi, although we didn’t end up using it. The price is not too high (and includes breakfast), which considering the standards in Iceland makes it a very good option.

Switzerlandwe booked a "small room", and it was REALLY small (to be fair, everything was according to the description on the booking platform). Breakfast selection could have been slightly better.
check-in is very uncomplicated. You get an e-mail with the code for the room, and no matter what time you arrive you'll be able to immediately go into your room without any issues. Location is good - it's about a 10 minute drive from Akureyri, up on a hill, with great views of the fjord. Perfect choice for a quick and easy stop along the ring road

United KingdomIt took me a minute though to figure out that the door code needed to be input on a screen on the door handle which only becomes apparent when you touch the word “card” 🤷♀️ The tea bags and coffee sachets were stored in the mugs which hadn’t been dried well enough which meant the bags and sachets were a bit damp.
Lovely clean little room with its own private entrance. Little outdoor table and chairs for use right outside the room was a nice touch. Comfortable bed and pillows. Good blackout curtains. Nice bathroom. Lovely continental-style breakfast.

United KingdomBathroom wall tiles were heavily stained in yellow. Likewise the floor tiles had been painted at some point and that was coming up too so didn’t look nice. Shower stall was also stained at the bottom. Bedding - there were black marks on the duvet cover, not sure if mould or something else but didn’t like sleeping with them. Other guests were exceptionally noisy past 1am so we didn’t get much sleep. Not sure if they were in the same corridor as us or in the bar area (meant to be closed at 11) were not sure but didn’t sleep well because of those girls giggling the entire night. Overall, this is my sixth stay at hotel north, I think the rooms need a lick of paint and a deeper clean and they’d be good to go again, and staff actually being in the building and removing guests from the bar area when it should be closed would be good
Good size rooms, comfortable beds, fairly modern facilities, hot tub was actually hot, toiletries came with both shampoo and conditioner (a rarity). Bathrobe, slippers all included. Lovely breakfast options.

CyprusHowever, my co-worker faced difficulties moving around the hotel since he is disable. Despite requesting a special room to ensure easy access from the car to the hotel, reaching the breakfast area was still a challenge.
I had a great stay at this hotel in Akureyri, and the breakfast was excellent. The panoramic view of the city was truly breathtaking. The facilities were newly renovated, which added to the comfort of the experience. Overall, it’s a great place to stay, but better accessibility would make it even better.

United StatesThe Hotel does not have staff available to assist you 24/7, although a 24/7 telephone number is indicated for situations, this is not the case! I upgraded the room just because of the availability of a fan, due to reviews that the rooms were hot, we realized the room didn't have one and called and no one was able to resolve the situation. The room only had a 1'x1' window, it was very hot and when you opened the little window, the room was filled with mimes.
The accommodation was for one night, very clean and quiet. The room was very comfortable with a nice view of the lake and mountains. The breakfast is very complete and it is very easy to get to the accommodation. The young woman who served us at breakfast was very friendly and attentive.
