Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomHallway was dark (all lights on sensors and worked OK) but even with the lights on it was a little dark. It was a little way outside Vik but we had a car and that didn't matter to us. The out buildings (guest rooms) were quite dated and would benefit from some TLC.
The separate buildings were warm and the breakfast was good. It was a little way outside Vik but we had a car and that didn't matter to us.

United States of America- walls extremely thin - we were near the entrance of the building and our door rattled every time the main door was closed/heard everyone entering and leaving - breakfast could have more protein options

AustraliaThe room was cold. Our feet were freezing. It was 18 degrees inside the room (-3 outside) with no way to adjust the temperature (the console display worked but I don’t think it was attached to anything. Staff brought over a plug in radiator which helped. Overnight however the bathroom sink blocked up the minute we used it. Badly. I did some remedial plumbing and removed a plug of hair and who knows whatever that was blocking the s-bend and on through to the downpipe. It clearly had been blocked for some time and hadn’t been looked at for ages. General maintenance calls for a periodic inspection.
Breakfast was outstanding.

United KingdomWe had to leave at 6am to head over to snowmobiling in the south east on Vatnajökull, so we were unable to make breakfast - I’d have liked this to start a little earlier than 7am considering a lot of people use Vik as a stopping point too! But the hotel is incredibly beautiful :)
Beautiful hotel with lots of different outbuildings that all seem to have a beautiful view attached. Great spa access with an heated outdoor tub, which I can imagine are great for looking out for the northern lights! The perfect distance from Vik as we like it a little quieter. Great big windows too!

United KingdomThe room walls are a bit thin and you can hear other guests next door. This was fine for us as the guests next to us were mostly quiet but just a consideration or bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper.
Hotel was well located just outside of Vik with clean and warm good sized rooms and a lovely spa / sauna area and basic coffee facilities in the room. We enjoyed our 2 night stay as there were lots of food options in town and we could relax in the sauna after a full day of adventures.

New ZealandTour busses stay so we had two different groups of young kids next to our rooms on both nights who were loud.
Location 5 minutes out of Vik so close to drive back into for dinner. Great hot pool. We didn’t see the northern lights either nights but would recommend driving out of the hotel slightly down the road since is a few lights from the large hotel. Breakfast good, lots of options. Clean and amazing staff.

United KingdomNo radiator in room. Temperature was not an issue, as it was warm enough, but we couldn’t dry our rain-soaked clothes. Breakfast was not great for me, as someone with a nut allergy. I was limited to just jam on toast, cereal and peeled fruit.
Spa facilities were great, it was lovely using hot tub and sauna (although it’s only open 4-11). Good location for seeing the aurora, as there was very little light pollution. Some great hikes just a short drive away (5 mins). Restaurant was great for dinner.
