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.).

United StatesThe troll theme is not to my taste, but it wasn’t an issue, just not appealing.
Location was convenient. Room was very comfortable and reasonably spacious. We ate at the restaurant and the food was quite good; also the view was spectacular. I wanted to try the hot tub (there are 3 for guest use) but a rain storm hit and I decided against it. The shower was great.

United StatesWe LOVED everything❤️
Out of the 12 places we stayed during our 16 day stay, this was in our top 2. We loved this place so much that we hated to leave after just one night. The cabin was so nice and comfortable. The bathroom and shower were great/roomy. The restaurant was so delicious and the view is unbelievable! The breakfast was included and it was so wonderful. I can’t say enough about this place. I would highly recommend. 5⭐️

United StatesThere were a few flies in the room (makes sense being in the countryside) and it was so warm in the room that my glasses fogged up when I walked in.
The location and view were phenomenal. We enjoyed walking the grounds, seeing the troll garden, and walking along the river. Dinner was excellent and the view from the restaurant was indescribable. The location exceeded my expectations.

Czech RepublicA small detail - easily fixable: short power cord of the kettle, you can't pour water without unplugging it from the (inaccessible) outlet... ;-)
We stayed in a room with a bathroom for two nights. The room had a small fridge, microwave and kettle with coffee, tea and wine glasses :-). Breakfast was delicious, on a beautiful glassed-in terrace overlooking the waterfall. It's amazing that the owner thinks of everyone - if you prefer to self-cater, there are two well-equipped kitchens. If you want to stay in the privacy of your room, you have the basic equipment. And if you want to take advantage of the dinner option - and from my own experience I recommend it - just make a reservation. The real pearl is the hot tubs, fed by the most abundant European hot spring...! And don't forget to walk through the troll garden!

United StatesThe room was superb including a comfortable bed. It was special being away from the town - the setting was so beautiful. There are hiking trails starting at this location. We loved the hot tubs filled with water from a hot spring - so relaxing after a long drive. Breakfast was delicious. My favorites were the smoked salmon and lots of delicious fruit at breakfast we sat by windows overlooking a beautiful waterfall. We even got to watch the Northern lights paint the sky for 45 minutes.

I have booked this location for the second time and every time I felt like home. The staff is super nice and always ready to help or just to chat. The breakfast is amazing, just beside the waterfall. I also booked a dinner (in November they appreciate if you book in advance regarding food) and it was delicious. Lots of local food to try. They also have their own beer and I recommend it. It was also a nice spot to watch Aurora. I hope my wallet will be able to take me there again this year.

United StatesNothing sticks out, it was exactly what I had expected.
Breakfast was included with our room and was a good spread and filling for the day of hiking. The location was perfect for what we had planned. We also ate dinner at the Rock and Troll Restaurant both nights we stayed there. The food and the service were very good. As someone who is very familiar with music from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, the music being played during breakfast and dinner was excellent. I would recommend Fossatun Country Hotel for anyone who wants to see and hike Iceland’s beautiful countryside.
