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...).

SlovakiaToo expensive. For that price I would expect higher standard of the rooms. Apart of the hotel lobby, the experience was pretty basic. Some furniture parts for expample were a little damaged on its surface. We have slept in much better hotels or guesthouses during our roadtrip around the Iceland and those were much cheaper. It could has breakfast included at least.
The hotel lobby at the reception looks amazing, very cozy, beautiful sea view, nice place to have a rest and enjoy the moment.

Czech RepublicThe hotel was really nice, as well as the staff and we had an excellent dinner in the restaurant. It is also quite nicely located near the sea with a nice view. If you are going around the Snaefellsnes peninsula, it is a great place to stay.

AustraliaThey had a strict no food/cooking preparation policy in for room… which is fine, but not sure that should apply to cup noodles etc.
Really remote location, but works well for those willing to travel out that way.

SwitzerlandI stayed for four nights in the same room - principally an excellent place and room to be; unfortunately, there was an annoying sqeaking repetitive noise caused by the admittedly strong wind. It must have come from some parts of the roof or alike. I informed the very friendly personel about this and I hope they could fix it in the meantime (perhaps not an easy task). Otherwise en extremely lovely place to stay!
Excellent food, friendly staff, extremely relaxing place to be. The entrance hall just invites to sit, to relax, to drink a coffee and to let go.

United States of AmericaIt's very expensive for what it is, but then again, Iceland is very expensive and it's one of the only accommodations around. The fire alarm went off in the middle of the night. False alarm, and it happens, but no one from the staff seemed to managing the situation.
The staff was very nice and accommodating. The food - breakfast and dinner - was very good. It has a great view, and convenient to area attractions. The room was fine, good sized bathroom.

United KingdomSmaller rooms - little sound insulin as timer framed
Great location at the end of the peninsula after a busy day exploring. Not much nearby - but nice walk down to beach (with cafe). Hotel rooms are cosy but clean and comfortable - timber framed so not much noise insulation. We had a great stay for one night as a family of four with two sea view rooms - and were pleasantly surprised how good the restaurant food was considering how remote the hotel is. Very impressed by how friendly all the staff were - every single one said hello/good morning etc with a smile as you passed them

FranceThis Fosshotel is clearly in need of refurbishment and renovation. Our room had windows that didn't close properly so howling cold wind was let in all the time. There was a drainage problem in the bathroom that created a constant stench.
we needed a place to stay on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula z, honestly, there's very little accommodation to be found. we thought that the two young waiters at dinner did a marvelous job serving a full dining room. in addition, the dinner was excellent.
