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.).

GermanyVery nice and full breakfast buffet, the Hotel is remote but also very close to Godafoss. It is away from the main roads and therefore very idyllic located, nonetheless you are in 5 mins at Godafoss. The very lovely cats are a gem, giving the visitor a warm welome everytime he arrives at the hotel.

United KingdomThe polished concrete floor in the bedroom and the lack of lampshades made for a rather basic feel to the accommodation that in every other respect met our needs.
The breakfast was very good. The location only 5 minutes from Godafoss was great. Plenty of birds to observe along the track to the accommodation and from the bedroom. The complementary chocolate and drinks facility was topped up on the second day of our stay, which was a nice touch we did not get at other places we stayed for two days. The host was attentive without being obtrusive.

United StatesWe arrived during some heavy snow fall… the owner was not there at this time so the road was completely covered in snow.. unable to see markers and navigate. We went off the road and had to get towed 1.5 miles down from the hotel. I know it was just bad timing.. but that was the only negative.
The location was beautiful. Incredible. Breakfast was delicious and Haddi was our host… he was very friendly, very very helpful ! This was our first destination when landing in Iceland and we definitely hit some *rough patches* on our way there. Haddi was very hospitable and not only did he feed us every morning, he helped us figure out where we were heading and offered to navigate us from the snow covered road. He made the first few days of our Icelandic adventure exceptional !

CanadaIf your main goal to see the northern lights, this is the best place you can imagine. The sky is dark, no sources of light pollution around, mountains aside are not tall, so you see the sky from left to right without obstacles. We had chance to see beautiful northern lights, and it was awesome. Just use one of two large spaces on the road that lead to the hotel, there are the darkest spots for observing. Hotel is very clean and soundproof. Good breakfast.

SpainGoing from the reception to the building where rooms are located can be a bit tricky if it snows because of slippery ground. Breakfast could be better.
New building with big and comfortable rooms. Very helpful staff. Cool isolated place, excellent location to see northern lights.

LatviaOur bed was a bit squeaky and the doors were hard to close (as it is in many locations in Iceland to be fair) - small bits to improve upon.
The guesthouse is in a quiet location that is well-suited for catching the Northern lights, which we were able to see in the one night of our stay. The rooms are located in an adjacent building that is quite modern on the inside, next to this building is the main house where a nice breakfast is served.

AustriaThe access road from the main road is gravel (which is anyway kind of standard once you leave the big roads), but we talk here about something like 2-3km, so not a big deal at all.
Great location to visit Godafoss but several other spots as well, couple of minutes drive from the main road. Very clean, comfortable and room was spacious enough. Breakfast was very tasty, choice wide enough - sweet, salty, eggs, bread, fruits and veggies, juice, milk, coffee, etc. Host was very nice and helped out with questions we had. Thanks!

United StatesIt’s a minor thing, but not what I expected in a rural area. The light over the entrance of the guest rooms building was blinding, far exceeding lighting the parking area or way to the main house. A bit jarring for the country nights and dark night skies. (Most people may not mind this sort of thing.)
A very clean, comfortable, simply furnished en suite room. Good breakfast in the main house. Rural relaxing outdoor atmosphere in general.

Hong Kongdespite my best effort the water still went everywhere outside the shower doors.
Very close to Godafoss which was convenient for our schedule. Self check-in instructions were sent ahead of time so arriving late was no problem. Hotel was very responsive to messages. They required you to take your shoes off at the entrance of both the hotel and the breakfast buildings, first time doing this in Europe and I liked it very much. There was also a super friendly cat just hanging around in the hallway waiting for cuddles.

Small boutique hotel- don’t let the exterior fool you. It is on a farm. The barn is converted into a very modern hotel. You can not beet it’s location across the street from Godsfoss. Nor it’s panoramic pasture views which are perfect for Aurora watching. Community room and breakfast room are lovely and the breakfast was a great start to the day.
