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 States of AmericaThe shared rooms aren’t great for privacy as they aren’t very soundproof. I could hear the person snoring in the next room very clearly. A cottage would be better for noise.
Great breakfast and location, shared kitchen facility was well stocked and handy.

New ZealandA cosy and warm room - the location was excellent for our travels around the area. In hindsight we should have booked one of the individual cottages so as to have more space. The breakfast was excellent and the facilities in the shared kitchen area were really good.

PolandIt would be great to put attention more often to the state of the kitchen after the guests.
Beautiful location, a bit remote. Good room with bathroom. It was very comfortable and warm. Also, due to not a lot of lights in the area, we saw the northern lights outside of our room.

United States of AmericaThe room is a bit small and the size of the beds are small.
Well equipped kitchen with over, stoves and coffee machine with coffee provided, kinds of seasons and Microwave oven and Electric kettle. They also provide washing machine and dryer with laundry detergent. And location is great. I can see a volcano just from my window and it is very close to Dimmuborgir and Mývatn natural bath.

United KingdomOn the second day of our trip to Iceland, we had an accident and our 11 years old son got in Reykjavik hospital with a facial fracture. We could not travel north and I notified the guesthouse office very last minute. They were simply amazing and cancelled our non-refundable booking. So caring and understanding. Also, upfront communication was really good to ensure the facilities meet expectations. As you understand, we did not stay at the hotel, but we really hope to travel there in the nearest future to experience the facilities and meet their friendly and welcoming team.

United States of AmericaI arrived late at night in a snowstorm, hoping to be able to buy some sort of snack or dinner on site. Unfortunately, while there is a communal kitchen and while breakfast is available for an extra fee, there was no evening food option on site.
Lovely little cottage right in the middle of the Myvatn region. Two very friendly dogs on site to welcome you on arrival.

NetherlandsI just felt like it is not as good value for money. I have had better establishments in Iceland for the same price, but it's the only place I have been to in the Myavatn area so I have no baseline for comparison in the area.
It is a very good establishment situated in an awesome location.

PanamaI didn't realize before we got there but they also have some adorable looking Cottages that I would have loved to stay at. Anyway, we got a room with private bathroom, it was small but comfortable. The place is in the middle of nowhere, so its dark and the perfect setting to watch the Aurora. Also super close (driving) to the thermal baths, lava fields, and many other awesome things to do in this area. Should I be back in Iceland, I will 100000% stay here again.
