How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewYou are steps away from the lagoon and can use it from check-in to check out during opening hours. We were able to visit the pool several times during our 2 night stay and visit some of the nearby sites. The room was spacious for 2 people with a seating area. The shared kitchen was nice, stocked with coffee and basic spices. The shared washer/dryer was also convenient.
When others were using the shared kitchen, it could be a little loud.

Verified reviewCozy, inviting and comfortable room, with lovely, organic furnishings. The shared kitchen was super useful, clean, well organised and stocked with teas, coffee and fresh milk in the fridge. The staff were incredibly welcoming into the lagoon area.
This is a suggestion, not a criticism, I think you're missing a trick to enhance the outside entrance to the building and the same for the patio of the back garden as well.

Verified reviewThis was probably the nicest room and accommodation during our 9 day stay in Iceland and also the most expensive. But considering that you get free entry to the lagoon the price is fair (keeping in mind that nothing comes cheap in Iceland). The room was big and nicely decorated. The kitchen, which is shared by four rooms, was very clean, warm, well organized and had nice crockery and cooking utensils. The lagoon looks out onto the fields and although it is not very big it's really lovely. Secret it is no more. I was amazed that 20 minutes after opening there were 2 busses, 2 minibuses and various individual travelers. It's great that as a guest you can just walk in and skip the queue. Bathrobes and towels are provided so you can shower in your room and don ´t have to use the communal shower in the spa.
The only room during our travel that was too cold, even though we turned the heating on full. The bathroom is small.

Foregetting the sandwiches i had made the night before on our departure day. There was nothing we did not like about the place. We will look to stay here again in the future.

Verified reviewComfy beds, very clean room, great shower, and a nicely equipped large (shared) kitchen space and refrigerator where each room had it's own dedicated space. Being next to the lagoon with unlimited access and towels provided was a nice bonus! So great to relax after a hiking day, and being able to sleep in a quiet and comfortable room.

The room was large and comfy, the kitchen was super well stocked with everything you could ever need. The bonus was VIP entry to the Secret Lagoon hot springs which was such a treat.

Verified reviewBeautiful location, loved that Secret Lagoon, robe and slippers were included, airy, spacious room, and very nice kitchen.
Our door was squeaky which probably annoyed our housemates and one of the curtains needed to be charged in order to come down, pungent smell in common area (maybe from previous guests) and many flies coming in through open window. Fly situation needs to be managed - fly spray for all to use would be helpful.
