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 StatesThe key to get in the room it was an actual key and I wasn’t informed that you had to re-lock the door with the key when you leave or it stays open. The shower was a tiny square was a draw curtain that wasn’t easy to maneuver and water can spill on the rest of the bathroom easily if you’re not paying attention to the curtain.
It was nice.

United StatesAll the beds on the trip were small and so were they here. US citizens like a little bigger mattress. Personally had trouble with the shower. Unusual, but complaint is that the water was too hot and I could not turn the knobs to get the temperature cool enough. I did read the sign on the wall about how the water could be 180 degrees, but could not get any of that put cold water to come out when taking my shower.
The location is excellent in the heart of the town. The staff were amazing and seem to really care about our experience at Fosshótel Barón and Reykjavik.

United StatesWe needed a place to put our clothes like sweaters, pants, etc. There was a great rack to hang up shirts and coats, but we could have used a set of drawers for the rest of our clothes. Larger shelf in the bathroom would be useful too.
Location was ideal, so close to everything downtown. Beds and pillows were very comfy. The breakfast buffet was phenomenal and refreshed throughout the morning so you didn't have to go right away at 7am when it opened.

New ZealandThe shower was quite small and it was hard to stop the water pouring out onto the bathroom floor- needed to mop it up with the towels to prevent it wetting the carpet in the room.

United KingdomThe shower in my bathroom completely flooded the floor. This must have been expected as a large mop was left in there, presumably to deal with this. The bathroom lacked rails to dry towels.
It was close to the shopping street, Laugavegur and an easy walk into Reykjavik.
