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 reviewLocation and overall public space.
The listing on booking said it had free parking, but it was full and we were then told it is not guaranteed. The room was unacceptably tiny for the price. Only 1’ on side and end of bed and about 18-24” on the other side. One pillow per bed, 1 extra tiny soap and shampoo, no floor mat. We expected free continental breakfast due to the first comment in the listing from the hotel explaining breakfast is included in the room rate. It is very clear to us that others expected the same as the first comment from the hotel clerk was “You know there’s no breakfast included.?” We felt this room should’ve been priced closer to $50 or $60 per night not $180.00+. Please remove that comment or have the hotel stand behind its words. Thank you.

Verified reviewGood parking, reasonable price for Iceland, walkable to city center/15-20 minutes, supermarket nearby, easy drive to airport, about 45 minutes
Beds were too narrow for two average width people. No bathroom accessories. "One size washes all" soap.

Verified reviewA bit farther away, but a quiet place. Overall fine for a shorter stay
Really small rooms with quite limited space to move around and no real possibility to open up suitcases. The beds were narrower, probably adjusted to the room size. In this case, I would probably recommend bunk beds instead – but wider ones. As for the shower, a handheld showerhead would be much more convenient, so a person can wash the whole body and not just the head with the overhead shower

Verified reviewReserved a room with a double bed. Upon check-in, we were given a room with three single beds. We asked for a different room and were given one with two single beds and told to push them together and it "would be the same thing". It's not, but it's what we were stuck with. The blankets were too small, only one pillow per person, and the heat in the room couldn't be turned off so it was hot even with the window open.

Verified reviewThe bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom had a great shower—it felt like a waterfall. The location is very good—a 25-minute walk to the center.
The room was very small. For two people, each with luggage, it would be very cramped. The breakfast isn't even remotely worth the €13—better to eat on the way into the city center. The walls are very thin.

Verified reviewLoction, breakfast included, helpful staff. Just in case, the middle rooms have windows that open to the hallway, so thats interesting.
Ventilation was a bit lacking and shower was an experience (small, but thats ok, and it has not the detachable head). But then again - you get what you pay for.

Verified reviewThe hotel was able to accommodate our luggage before and after our stay, common area was nice, bartender was very kind, rooms were clean and staff was friendly and helpful. The free parking was a nice surprise and even though it was full when we got in, street parking was easy to find and very close.
The rooms were small but not unexpected in a Eurpean-stye hotel. Each bed had exactly everything needed (light, USB ports, plugs, table).
