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.).

I LOVE the Hotel Laxa. It has such a cool laid back vibe and is in the perfect location on the banks of Lake Myvatn. The rooms are cosy and modern, the breakfast is good, the staff are friendly. I can’t praise it enough. We even got to see the Northern Lights from the car park🇮🇸💚

We had dinner at their restaurant and both the service and food was amazing. We even managed to see the Northern lights from the parking lot. Great hotel, would definitely recommend.

United KingdomNothing. I enjoyed my stay there very much.
The location is superb: it's in the south of the lake and there are no obstacles around so it's the perfect place for watching northern lights. The hotel is newly built so everything is modern and comfortable. The rooms are spacious and have big windows facing the sky, meaning you can watch the starry sky or even spot the northern lights in the comfort of your room. The breakfast is also very nice. In all, it's definitely worth the price.

GermanyIt was all good.
It's a really great modern hotel in the middle of nowhere. There was a list at the reception with activities you could choose from. And they offered a wake-up call for the northern lights. Unfortunately all tours were booked and we hade a cloudy night. Didn't use the restaurant. We're glad for tea on the room. The breakfast was really good, including waffles.

United KingdomVegan options at breakfast were a little lacking with the only hot items being beans (and toast). Would have bean nice to have a few more dairy free/meat free options.
Nice, modern hotel in an excellent location by Lake Mývatn, great as a base for exploring the many sights in the area. Spacious and comfy room with a large bathroom and great shower. Staff are very friendly and helpful and offered plenty of info regarding the area and road quality. The vegan dinner options at the restaurant were delicious.
