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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomWe remember the highlight of freshly made scrumptious waffles for breakfast at our earlier stay and were sad to discover they were no longer offered.
Second time staying at this hotel - the first time it was still under construction, but that did not get in the way of a great experience. This time again we had a room with a beautiful view, it was comfortable, very clean, the staff attentive and friendly, dinner was very tasty. Hoping we will have yet another chance to stay sometime later, and that we will remain very satisfied.

United StatesThe rooms were a bit warm.
The location is perfect for visiting all sites on the Golden Circle. The views from the hotel are exceptional and the area is quiet and peaceful even though it is located near such popular attractions as Geysir and Gulfoss. The breakfast buffet was astounding, everything you could want. Dinner was also delicious.

AustraliaThe bathroom was ridiculously small, a major mistake for a recently designed addition, so small that the shower had two folding doors, neither of which could be opened without hitting something. Strangely, for such a windy place, a single door without an airlock led into the reception area.
Gullfoss Hotel is perfectly placed in a rural setting on the Golden Circle (not really a circle) between the Gullfoss Falls and Geysir. The hotel has about 30 rooms, ours facing an escarpment and farmland, half of which are in a newer wing. The room was spacious and modern. The hotel has a good restaurant where breakfast is served but no other facilities. Breakfast was included and was good. Parking was just outside reception. A rough walking trail, 3km, to Gullfoss ran along the river gorge, doubling as a bridle trail.

I like everything about this hotel. It is convenient but quiet. It is only few minutes away from the attractions. The room is spacious and clean. The hotel has a restaurant which is so convenient as there is no other food market or restaurants near by.

IrelandLovely hotel, spacious enough rooms for an Icelandic hotel (the bathroom was actually huge!). Really tasty food in a nice dining room. Obviously very close to the waterfall, so you can pop down before the tour bus hordes arrive. We had them to ourselves

The hotel was exceptionally clean and everything looked lovely. We had dinner in the restaurant which was wonderful and very well priced. The breakfast which was included in our room rate was by far the best breakfast we had in the whole of Iceland. The staff were super helpful and we even had to rearrange due to a cancelled flight and they sorted everything at no extra cost. Cannot rate this high enough.

United KingdomThe bathroom fan made a rattling sound when it was on (which came on when you turned on the light) but didn’t really bother us too much.
Great location. We covered the Golden Circle and ended at Gullfoss waterfall in the evening so it was convenient to drive a very short distance to the hotel after a long day. Beautiful surrounding (can go for a light walk around the hotel).
