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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 is an ideal location for viewing the lake and surrounding areas. The view of the lake from our room was amazing. The hotel and rooms are to a good standard even if they seem a little outdated.

United StatesBeautiful and spacious room with a nice view of the Myvatn lake, comfy beds, and a clean bathroom. Delicious buffet dinner and breakfast with many local dishes. Very friendly staff who passionately introduced every dish served at the dinner. Besides, there is a espresso coffee machine in the lobby, from which you can get decent coffee all day long. There is also an outdoor hot tub (even though I didn't get the chance to use it).

United KingdomThe restaurant was disappointing. We ordered trout and lamb but both were not good considering they market the place having its own farm raising its own sheep and farming its own trout. The attitude of the woman who was at the reception of the restaurant was not good - just dumping our drinks on the table without even asking whose was whose. Overall an expensive restaurant and certainly not good value.
Good size of room with large window.

United StatesSel - Hótel Mývatn An OK stay, neither great nor bad. We appreciated the size and comfort of the family room, which could sleep up to 4. My dad enjoyed the jacuzzi/spa. The swarming midges in Myrvatn somehow didn’t get into the hotel which was a nice relief. It was nice that they give free tea and coffee, which weren’t bad actually. The included breakfast was underwhelming when juxtaposed with the general restaurant offerings. I hoped/expected for a more interesting local breakfast (local cheese, skyr yogurt, etc) since it’s right next door to a farm, and the dairy items (like the ice cream we had the night before) were specifically called out on the dinner menu. The breakfast skyr flavored yogurt tasted super sweet and store-bought, and the geyser bread wasn’t fully cooked. They also had one of those waffle makers and batter where you make your own waffles - which kind of gave me Quality inn chain hotel vibes. We definitely ate enough but left a little unsatisfied. Overall the stay was fine and another place to sleep on the ring road.

United StatesEverything was great BUT this place was REALLY expensive. I understand its busy Summer season but i booked well in advance and I must not have been paying close attention because they charge the going rate of a five star resort in NYC.
The staff was great. Helpful. Friendly. Genuine. Breakfast was very good with lots of options. My room was much too big for a solo traveler but i was told they only book double rooms. Room had a big tv with Netflix. Location was also nice. Right across from the lake and craters on the main road. A little ice cream spot was next door.
