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.).

Verified reviewGreat location, very handy for the activities we had planned around Vik. Comfy large room. Being from the UK I appreciated the kettle in the room. Beds were soft but very comfy as I normally prefer a firmer bed. Breakfast was good, plenty of items to select from. Good communication of check-in details
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us, found the location convenient, and appreciated the comfort of the room and amenities like the kettle. It’s wonderful to know that breakfast and our check-in communication met your expectations as well. We truly value your feedback and would be very happy to welcome you again on your next visit to Vik. Hótel Búrfell

Verified reviewOur room was very clean and comfortable and the included breakfast was a lovely buffet. This was a very convenient accommodation along the Ring Road.
It would have been nice to have had a plain yogurt offered at breakfast, in addition to the sour and sweetened yogurts.

Verified reviewMy room exceeded my expectations. The bed was super comfy, and there is no noise at all due to its superb location. It might seem isolated, but it is easy to reach via car. One can experience so much peace!
The bathroom was a bit small, so it could be an issue for people with long legs 😅

Verified reviewGood location if you want to be isolated from the town. Beautiful views. Comfortable rooms.
The vegan/vegetarian options for breakfast were terrible! The first day they didn’t have oat milk because they said it was not available in the market. We hoped they would have it for the next day. Not only did they not have oat milk, but they also ran out of baked beans, the only other vegetarian option on the menu with still 30 minutes for breakfast to finish. The scrambled eggs also finished. We paid a lot for this property so the least we expected was a decent breakfast to fill our appetites. Was very disappointed this did not happen.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that our breakfast did not meet your expectations. While we aim to accommodate all dietary preferences as best we can, we also want to be transparent — we are not a machine-run operation. We work with fresh ingredients, and there are occasions when items like oat milk may not be available due to supply chain issues beyond our control. Similarly, when breakfast service is nearing its end, certain items such as baked beans or scrambled eggs may temporarily run out, especially during peak times. Please understand that preparing fresh food takes time — scrambled eggs aren’t something we can instantly replenish at the push of a button. We genuinely strive to offer a quality experience, and we regret that this aspect of your stay was disappointing. That said, we encourage guests to communicate with our team on-site, as we are always willing to find solutions when we’re made aware in the moment. We appreciate your feedback!

Verified reviewVery spatious and confortable room and bathroom. Confortable beds. Very good breakfast.
The hotel doesn't look so good from the outside. Although it's a country hotel, the surroundings look messy.

Verified reviewReviewed: 29 June 2025 · Stayed in June 2025
Verified reviewThe hotel was located deep into the land, so it provided us with enough calm and quiet from the main roads of Iceland. The room itself was easily accessible, and it was quiet spacious for two people. I appreciated the desk with a few options for tea, plus with a readily available vending machine at the front of the hotel since we were caught in a wind storm during our first day. The bathroom also was pretty spacious too, provided with enough amenities as well. Breakfast was one of our favorites during our stay here, they provided a great variety that Iceland had to offer (with the fun shot of Lysi to start our day).
Check-in was a bit odd, I had read that the staff office was separate from the hotel where guests stayed, but I had forgotten and ended up walking straight into the hotel without a clue to go anywhere. A more obvious sign to check-in to the office first would be appreciated! In terms of the room, I felt quite safe staying in Iceland in general, but we were a little unsure about our room being unlocked after it had been cleaned.

Verified reviewHotel was very nice. Our room was very comfortable & the pressure in the shower was amazing. Location is great, close to town. Back drop of the hotel is beautiful. Breakfast was very good & was included in our nightly rate of $309.46 US in May 2025.
Everything was good so I don't have any complaints.

When the wind gets gusty, it can be hard to sleep. I'm a very light sleeper. Please take this negative comment with a grain of salt.

There is nothing I didn’t like. If there was a jacuzzi, dinner and bar would have stayed here the entire week.
