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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

This hotel is stunning. The horses and the local wildlife did not disappoint. The hostess was lovely and the food amazing. Our room overlooked the fjord as did the restaurant. This place is perfect if you want peace and quiet. We walked to the local church at the foot of the mountain opposite the hotel and I could not hear anything other than the beating of my own heart. Sheer bliss.

IrelandThe restaurant prices are steep (main dishes are €30 - €50!), but this seems to be typical in Iceland.
Situated in a beautiful, isolated spot. It snowed during our stay and it was magical. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The bed was a dream. The couple who run the hotel were both very friendly. We ate dinner in the restaurant both nights we were there, the food is above average for such an establishment. We loved the horse steak, so tender and perfectly cooked! No northern lights during our visit as it was too cloudy. But the private terrace would have been the perfect spot to enjoy them.

RomaniaThe location of the hotel is in a remote and wonderful landscape and i think that makes your stay in Iceland more authentic. Also the personal is very friendly and breakfast was really delicious with fresh baked bred and local products. We stayed during our trip in 6 accommodations and this was by far the most beautiful. The rooms are very spacious and everything was very clean and comfortable. Through the big windows you can enjoy an amazing view with the fjord. Also because you are in a remote place you have great chances to see the magical northern lights.

IsraelEverything! What a wonderful hotel! We stayed for one night. The room was big and comfortable with a small balcony. The bad was king size which is not common in Iceland and it was very comfortable. The dinner (which has to be preorderd) and the breakfast were great with good variety. The staff was really nice and helpful. This is a good place to see the northern lights.

United StatesThe rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. The staff is great as is the restaurant. The best part however is the view from the room. Amazing! The floor to ceiling windows provide a view of the river extending to the fjord, truly mesmerizing - sunset and sunrise were unbelievable. Went for hikes, met cattle, horses, and sheep along the way but spent a lot more time just sitting on the patio or in the room and taking in the views. It was so calm and peaceful. Definitely recommend.

United StatesSmall menu for the restaurant which is to be expected for the remote location. However, everything was very good.
Breakfast was ok. It was located in a very remote location so the limited menu was to be expected. However, the rooms were large and very clean and comfortable. The view was amazing, seeing a river flowing into the bay/ocean. Lots of horses around. Just a beautiful location and a large and comfortable room. Much larger than your typical European rooms which is what we had for most of our stay in Iceland.
