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 reviewI liked the hot spring.
Room had no amenities or place to hang clothes. No water glass or washcloth and only one towel for bathing in the springs and showering after. Dinner was skimpy and expensive.

Verified reviewBeautiful setting
A long drive to the location and everything seemed to be an extra charge. Meals, desserts, sodas, etc. if you don’t bring it it will cost you a lot.

Verified reviewMeals were pricey (especially for a large family), but delicious!!! After completing the spectacular Waterfall Circle hike, we loved having a warm meal already prepared and waiting. And, of course, the amazing hot pools under the mountains with glaciers and waterfall views all around. This place is a gem and I’m glad more people don’t know about it because it did not feel like all the other tourist things around the country. What better way to experience the “Highlands”. The waterfall hike is probably the best hike in the country. So glad we pulled it off.
Maybe a little more info about the hikes would have been helpful (my own fault as I could have asked). I read beforehand how the hike was an “easy to moderate hike”, but that really only applies to healthy young people, not people above 60, people who have bad knees, people who would struggle to walk up ten flights of stairs, etc. My mother-in-law took an hour longer than the rest of us and it was a miracle she didn’t turn into a medical tragedy!

Verified reviewI liked location - it is very quiet, very distant from all touristic attractions. Also the view from thermal pool was good - wild meadows around and mountain peaks looming in the distance. The bed linen and room was clean. WiFi excellent.
The room was very, very small, without wc, without bathroom sink. The only room window is so small, that I am afraid how to sleep in hot summer days, if such happens in Iceland :).

Verified reviewThe location and waterfall circle hike was the singular highlight of our trip to Iceland even with all the daily amazing experiences. The spa pools are incredible and the staff was super accommodating (even with challenging dietary limitations).
The rooms are incredibly small and not soundproofed. There has not been enough thought put into how to design a small space for two people. Even coat hooks on the door would help.

Verified reviewReally nice and modern place in a wonderful remote location. We only stayed there for one nigt but I wish I could have stayed longer there (provided thereis a good weather outside). The staff was very friendly and helpfull. The food was good. As a bonus I really liked the natural hot pools otside, especially in the miserable weather we experienced there.
Perhaps we were bit missing a common kitchen accesible for a case the offered food is not suiting our dietrary needs. We were also instructed during the booking to give a advance call to secure our food and choose from various options. This was apparently not needed as there was only one food option and the cook arrived almost at the same time as we did.
