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 KingdomThere is absolutely nothing we did not like about our stay in Hotel Gulfoss.
The very best part of Hotel Gulfoss, is the wonderful, courteous and professional staff - all the staff were helpful and a delight to be with! Our room, the dining area and the entire hotel was incredibly clean and well taken care of. The dining area for breakfast and dinner was absolutely wonderful. We had a fantastic view of the NOrthern Lights and the Hotel Gulfoss is a VERY short drive to the spectacular Gulfoss waterfall.

AustraliaNot enough power points or usb charging for a modern hotel. No shampoo & conditioner.
Clean, comfortable, great fresh produce for their meals in their restaurant. Location is great to start the next day after seeing Gulfoss. Kettle, mugs, tea, coffee, sugar, fridge are available in room. Good options for breakfast.

United KingdomI found the restaraunt to be a bit pricey even for Iceland although it was delicious and well presented
5 minutes from Gulfoss waterfall so useful if this is at the start/end of one of your days itineries. Close to geysers too. Breakfast is great, wide selection of different fresh foods. Rooms are large, shower is great. Free parking.

United KingdomNothing really it was all very pleasant. If storms are forecast take ear plugs - our room window (115) took a very noisy battering from the lashing rain & wind, which unfortunately did keep me awake.
The hotel staff were very welcoming and friendly. A pleasant room with tea & coffee facilities and a mini fridge. The food in the restaurant was very tasty and a good selection of spirits at the bar.

United KingdomLuckily we hired a car as you are literally in the middle of nowhere so you would need to get some sort of transport to go anywhere (not the hotels fault but just a tip).
The hotel was on its own right near the Gullfos waterfall which was spectacular. You really felt like it was in the countryside. Our highlight was the breakfast, there were so many options and it was very fresh and lovely - specially sitting by the window looking at the countryside view.

We stayed here on a trip in November around the golden circle and it was a perfect spot. Both the location and the hotel itself were great. The location was superb for visiting sites but also remote enough to see the stars and northern lights. (And bonus that when the northern lights happened the manager came to tell us). The restaurant food was delicious and breakfast in the morning was generous. Cosy and comfortable rooms
