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.).

The water in the hot tubs was a bit dirty, showers don’t have any privacy, even no curtains

Verified reviewThe location was superb! Beautiful views all round! If you have kids there is plenty to keep them occupied😄
There are only 3 shower heads in a shared cubicle, so bring a swimming costume if you’re shy! They also were not very clean I had to wear sandals to shower. Lots of washed dishes piled up on drainers in shared kitchens as no one put their things away (wet dish towels & no laundry bucket for them). Could not open the windows/doors due to the mosquitoes & the small pod got VERY stuffy overnight. Nets on the windows would have made a massive difference to our 4 night stay!
The communal showers are standard practice and very clean but may become wet on busy days and a holy shower for those who are ashamed. The camping pods and its surrounding is like a small village and neighbors can vary. The no see ums are a temporary problem in Iceland but better kept outside than inside.

Verified reviewThis was one of my favorite stays in Iceland! I had one of the small cabins that felt more like a sauna if you heated it up. This was good for me as I had just hiked around in the rain and needed some warmth. I also didn't have a sleeping bag and was worried about the bedding situation. It was fine, I didn't need anything more than the sheets I did bring. This being the summer in Iceland, it is light all night so having a black out curtain on the window was great. And there were a few hot tubs next to communal kitchen and showers. It was a very comfortable place to stay and the 'Troll trail' hike mostly for kids was actually surprisingly interesting and pretty. I would highly recommend staying here!
No surprise here but for some reason every communal kitchen seems like it has to smell like cabbage for some reason. There were 2 kitchen areas and one was just like that but there was a second kitchen which was much less stinky. Both were clean and well maintained though.

Verified reviewGorgeous location. The restaurant has a patio and wall of glass windows looking out to waterfalls. One of my favorite spots of the trip. The breakfast was really good as well!
I got completely destroyed by the biting flies. We had to open the windows because it was so so hot. And the bugs were the worst on the entire island. Really need to install screens or have fans available.

We paid for sleeping bag and didn't use. We were comfortable with our sleeping clothes. The receptionist also helped the restaurant, so we waited long each time we needed help.
