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.).

United StatesI can't think of any negatives. The staff was friendly and the room was quiet and comfortable. They could use a bigger sign for the hotel. We would have missed it if we did not have GPS.
We liked that it was a small hotel in a beautiful farm setting, just outside of the town of Vik. The bedding was very comfortable. The breakfast was very nice. We had dinner at the hotel and it was delicious! The staff were very helpful, giving us recomendations for where to go.

QatarSome hungers for towels in the bathroom near the shower would be useful.
The room was beautiful and comfortable. I loved that we could have tea and coffee any time to warm up. I also liked think curtains to block the light at night during summer, but the windows were so big that gave us amazing view and plenty light to get in during the day.

AustraliaExpensive for a fairly basic hotel. Be aware that if you request a double bed, it’s two singles pushed together. However, we were exhausted so it made no difference. No choice offered for eggs, only scrambled.
Friendly and helpful reception. He gave advice on where to eat and looked up the local weather forecast for us. The bed was super comfortable and the quilt was amazing. Not too far from Vik.

United StatesThe staff were very helpful and friendly, answered all of our questions via email and in person. The view from the “ Family Room “ was lovely, green hills and sheep! We liked the free tea and coffee in the dining room. Parking was easy, up a gradual slope on a gravel driveway. The room was spacious, we enjoyed our two night stay! It was a perfect spot to stay during our south coast tours between Golden circle and Jokulsarlon.

GermanyThe furnishings are a little outdated and in the room it felt a little bit cold (partly due to the fact that the room is pretty large). Note: However this shouldn't be a problem, since there is an additional heater in every room!
Located in the middle of nowhere - still near Vik i Myrdal - the Volcano Hotel is lovely place to be! The hotel itself is special and charming, the environment is very quaint. The fact that you can enjoy the latter at any place of the hotel - especially during breakfast - is a big plus! Also the staff was really friendly and welcoming. In a nutshell: One of the best (and cheapest | out of eight) accommondations we had during our trip in Iceland.

Cannot rate this hotel enough, it is simple but perfect. The owner was lovely and is consists of 7 rooms, a breakfast room/lounge and you can buy some drinks in the evening. The breakfast was delicious and the sea view from the table was fab. This is all about location and service. Room 3 looked over the hills behind and room 6 had a lovely terrace with sea view. Loved this place

United KingdomNothing, couldn't give any negative feedback about our stay here and would highly recommend, we would definitely stay here again in the future and it was a perfect stay whilst we travelled along the ring road.
Location was perfect just outside of Vik. Lovely room with a big comfy bed and fab bathroom facilities, the shower was amazing! The decor was really funky and stylish with an almost lava floor in the bathroom made out of the local black volcanic pebbles. Weren't there to watch the tv but they had netflix which was good to just chill out to at night after a long day driving. The staff we met were super friendly and the receptionist helped me out with some spare plugs to charge all of our camera batteries. Breakfast was really lovely and included in the price although they didn't have any facilities for dinner so we had to head back into Vik for food but it's only 10 minutes along the road - we had pizza at Suour-Vik which was fab.

United StatesThe hotel is located outside VIK. So, we need to drive about 10 minutes to get into town. But since the sun does not go down until midnight, driving back from dinner in town during rain was not an issue.
It is a small hotel with 7 rooms only. It is very comfortable and clean, so it puts me at ease during this COVID time. We also had very good interaction with the host. She was friendly and helpful. The breakfast also was good.

United StatesLocation was perfect- 10 min West of Vik and a few minutes from a handful of restaurants and cafes along the coast, plenty of incredible scenery in all directions. A few minutes from incredible beaches and good Puffin viewing (we were there in early May). Staff is very kind, attentive, and willing to offer suggestions and provide assistance with directions. Breakfast was basic but fresh and plenty of options. Awesome coffee/espresso machine in common area. The best suprise: sheep and a dozen tiny lambs grazing on the pasture nextdoor.
