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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

NetherlandsNegative: i did get the sense that it's all quite design focussed / instagram ready, instead of having a focus on what a traveller needs. Coffee and tea are sparse, bring your own. There is no space for cooking or preparing food in your room. It's all quite minimal design and i wouldnt stay here for more than a day, max two because in the end you travel from early morning to evening and when you come to the hotel you want your comfort (room size, fridge, coffee, tea, cooking).
Positive: The design is without a doubt very, very beautiful. The spa, sauna and lounge room are very welcome luxuries after a day of travel. Whoever designed the interiors deserves a prize for taste and execution. Has a once in a lifetime feel to it. Summary: if you want to treat yourself or your loved one to something special, or have a special pccassion, go for it. The hottub and sauna are quite unique and the design is impeccable. If you want easy comfort and no thrills relaxation after a day of hiking, choose something different.

United StatesThe frosted glass door on the bathroom wasn’t great for the 24 hours of daylight. The blackout curtains in the cabin worked great, and then you have a light source that isn’t blocked.
The cabins are beautiful inside and out. We loved the sauna and hot tub. We loved that it felt like the middle of nowhere. We hung out in the lounge for a bit. The views were spectacular, everywhere. This place is a dream.

It was such a cool experience to stay in these houses. The beds were so comfortable, and the location was great. Our kids loved running up and playing on the nearby hill and exploring the surrounding areas. Hot tub and steam rooms were great! Definitely recommend opening a night or two here!

United StatesWe decided to cook in the kitchen and there were a few key items that would have been nice such as a colander, spatula and additional utensils. But overall we enjoyed our stay.
This hotel was unique, remote and in a serene setting of Iceland. The rooms were very clean and the amenities like the kitchen, games and speaker were perfect. The sauna and hot tub were amazing. The WiFi worked well. We were able to spend some really good quality time together as a family.

United StatesIt was a bit difficult to find. Some more signage would have helped.
Beautiful furnishings. The scenery was amazing - so relaxing and peaceful. The staff was exceptional - very friendly and so helpful with activities. The hot tub and sauna were so relaxing after a full day of walking and exploring. It was a bit hard to find the property using GPS because it was trying to stop us earlier on the road, but luckily I knew what the place looked like and knew the first mirrored house we passed was not the right one. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. A fabulous view of the volcano!

United KingdomThis was by far the most amazing hotel I have ever been. The location and landscapes are out of this world. Everything was perfect. Suggest guests to bring their own food and drinks, as there are facilities to cook in the room and nowhere nearby to shop. We are still sad we had to leave lol

United KingdomThe only thing to mention is that the road getting there in the winter is a little dicey, so definitely get a 4x4 with winter tires.
Honestly, the entire thing was amazing! You not only get your fully equipped box, but you also have an access to a lounge, sauna and a hot tub. Everything worked really well and it was super comfortable. The views are of course amazing.

GermanyOnly one large Towel per person is not enough. You can not open a window and there is no dish washer, you have to clean everything by Hand without a spoon. There Was only a used brush. The cutlery wasn't really clean when we arrived. That's quite unhygienic. No mirror in the bathroom.
Wonderful place and view. Sauna and hot tub were brilliant.
