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.).

LithuaniaBad soundproof. Price is too high for staying in the middlemof nowhere, but maybe that’s the reason.
Hotel is comfortable, quite new, has good view (if you are lucky with wheather) to three glasier tongues. Dinner is ok, although price is high (as everywhere in Iceland though). As an option- you can drive to Hofn, it’s 10 minutes by car.

United StatesUnfortunately, while we were there, they warned us about biting flies and recommended we keep our windows closed. We did as told, but it discouraged us from spending time outside at night, and we would have loved to enjoy the view more from their back deck.
The views were incredible and staff was very nice. Breakfast was very good and it was an easy drive to Hofn from the hotel, where we went to have an amazing dinner at Pakkhus (highly recommend).

SpainThe shower drain seemed to be blocked as the water took a very long time to disappear. The room was small & a little cramped, especially for the money we paid.
The hotel was in a beautiful setting with wonderful views. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

United StatesThe view was breathtaking. It is definitely not in a city - but the views were worth it. We had a delicious dinner at the hotel (expensive) but great quality - and again there isn't really anywhere for you to go near by. Recommend making reservations even if the hotel looks empty.

AustraliaVery disappointed to arrive and find one side of our corner suite masked by scaffolding with workmen on, having to keep blinds down for privacy. This detracted from our stay. After the Glacier Lagoon, the restaurant here was definitely lower standard also. We chose to find somewhere else to eat the second night.
After the first Fosshotel we were really looking forward to this one but the feeling of luxury was definitely missing, and while it was nice it was nowhere near as good, or value for money. We had a suite and the room was spacious with lovely views. We were treated to auroras our first night and the balcony was perfect viewing.

ChinaOur bathroom is suitable for disabled person, so there is no shower curtain which caused the whole bathroom floor wet after shower, I think this could be improved.
Rooms are OK, but a little bit far from center, view of bar is nice,staff are nice, except when we arrive the credit card machine is broken. But few hours later it works again.
