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 StatesI booked this vacation late and it was high season....so I had limited availability. That forced me to spend WAY more money then I ever would have normally in a couple areas that were popular tourist areas. This King suite was one. But I have to say that when I compare a couple others that I ended up spending EVEN MORE this was the nicest room and view even though it was well out of my normal price range.
The staff were very friendly and helpful (holding and opening door! when we had our luggage!). Breakfast was one of our best on our 12 day trip. Food at the restaurant was delicious for dinner as well. We had an amazing view of the falls because we were in the king suite....which was an awesome room. And just as we were having a glass of wine and about to order dinner I looked out the window at the view thinking it couldn't get better, but it did!! About 25-30 Icelandic horses were being driven/herded across the little pedestrian bridge right in front of the hotel! I ran out the front door to get amazing video and experience it close up. We loved this place!

United KingdomUnderfloor heating made rooms too hot but staff kindly reduced the heat in our room. Would definitely stay here again. Our favourite accommodation along route one
Set off early so did not have breakfast which was from 8am. The setting is spectacular scenery and peaceful. There is Wi-Fi at the accommodation which was a bonus. Staff extremely helpful and polite. Food delicious evening meal and not expensive

Very friendly, helpful staff. It was a stone's throw from the falls. Dinner was tasty. I was happy to have a small heater to put in the bathroom for the morning.

GermanyNothing to mention here.
Very good breakfast which we booked on arrival and super friendly staff with some good advice on nearby spots to visit. We had a room in a separate building right next to the main building. We were absolutely satisfied with the room and everything in general, especially the close location to Godafoss which allowed for a late night and early morning visit without any other tourists around. Also the dinner options at the restaurant were great. Strong recommendation!

Excellent location, could walk to the waterfall in the morning before it was busy but also in the evening when it was quiet. Upgraded and was out in one of the cabins which was spacious. Restaurant available for the evening, along with a small bar.

United StatesThe only issue we had with our room heat was addressed quickly by the staff. Everything was virtually perfect.
Amazing location AT the Godafoss waterfalls. Fantastic international staff provided very friendly & memorable service. Great food at both the optional breakfast buffet & from the limited but very delicious dinner menu. Considering the absurdly expensive cost for virtually everything in Iceland, the breakfast buffet cost was one of best in-country values during our almost 3 week touring visit.

NetherlandsThe room was a bit noisy, I could hear everything that was happening outside the room so assume people can also hear what happens inside the room. The breakfast starts at 8.00 am, that is a bit late if you want to do a organised tour in Akureyri or Husavik but the staff told me they would take a look at that and that they might offer the possibility for a breakfast package so that prooves they are always willing to find a solution.
The staff was very nice, they definately treat you as a special guest and know what good service is. The breakfast buffet is one of the better ones in Iceland! It's nice they have a small menu so you can grab a bite in the hotel but it's not divers enough for several days. The hotel is almost exactly inbetween of Akureyri and Husavik what makes it a good location for whale watchers. The beds are good and the shower is perfect!
