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.).

SwitzerlandWhile the dining room is open 24h and there are options to get the boiled water, it's not optimal that you'd need to walk in the middle of the night to the dining room. It would probably make sense to have a small kettler in the room.
The hotel occupies a building which previously was a local school. The rooms were newly renowated and clean. There is a natural hot spring outside but it's small. The swimming pool is bigger and nicely warm. Staff were friendly and very engaged. Food was very tasty (we had a dinner and a breakfast).

SpainA charming small hotel very close to the town of Holmavik. We only spent one night there but it was enough to realize that it was a total success. Beautiful, clean, comfortable and with incredibly friendly staff. Like all hotels, we arrived late after a long day of touring the west fjords. The dining room was about to close but they were kind enough to wait until we had dinner to close it. Details like this make a difference. Thank you always for such a good experience.

Although the pool was lovely, it was the BUFFET DINNER that was over the top. Congratulations to all staff for a delicious presentation of both dinner and breakfast. We felt very comfortable at the hotel and enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you..

IrelandFor anyone visiting the Northwest area of Iceland, this place was just beautiful. The idea of an outdoor pool, heated by a hot spring, and a smaller hot spring beside it was just a wonderful experience. A major plus was we did not have to pay much, unlike other properties, to use the pool. Breakfast was included in the price and was wonderful. I would recommend the dinner choice where you could sample all the delicious food. I'd love to live there :)

United KingdomDinner is available but is expensive - 5,900 ISK per person. Have a meal before arrival if you want to avoid this cost.
Amazing scenic location. Remote and quiet.The hotel was very clean and nicely decorated with a big comfortable lounge room. There is also a sports hall with various games available. We had a good size room with great views of the valley and mountains. The beds were soft but comfortable. The bathroom was a good size with a very good shower. Breakfast was very good with a variety of choices. There is unlimited tea/coffee available in the breakfast room (not in rooms). There is also a large pool and small warm spring available (additional cost of 800ISK per person. Overall the best accommodation we have stayed in during our tour so far.

GermanyAfter paying a little fortune for 1 night stay, we had to additionally pay for the pool which I thought that it should have been included in the room price. I understood that is a public pool but it should be charged only for people who don´t stay in the hotel and would like to use only the pool.
Breakfast and dinner were good. Very delicious food but expensive. The pool was big and very nice. The water could have been a bit more warm.
