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 reviewThe object is close to city center.
I can’t say the room was dirty but there was a lot of “dust” (when you put your cellphone down and take it after half an hour, you can see a lot of dust particles on it, and on the floor. Maybe the sheets are to blame so I suggest switching to better quality material… Also the bedding was not ironed which I prefer since ironing helps with hygiene.

Verified reviewGreat location! Good size room.
The cleaning could be improved. Ladies showers were dirty and full of mold and mildew. The drain was blocked so the water would not drain. Kitchen was very grimy and the room dusty. Make sure to bring ear plugs as it is so noisy with people in and out all hours. It is advertised that they will keep your luggage after check out but it doesn’t sound safe as they recommended use of paid lockers.

Verified reviewGood location, good price, nice rooms, and very well equipped common rooms.
Only issue was an ear splitting alarm that went off 4 times during the night on our first night and once on our third night. Staff said they were having issues with the alarm but if didn't get sorted during our stay.

Verified reviewI stayed here before and after my hike of the Laugavegur Trail. Only a short 15-minute walk on a paved walkway from the main bus station. Perfect for catching the bus to trail and the airport. Reception staff were available and helpful. They stored my luggage until check-in time. Clean basic room, comfortable bed. The shared kitchen made it easy to make coffee and have breakfast before heading out. I rented a locker on-site where I stored a bag while hiking the Laugavegur Trail. While cheaper options may be available at the car parks, I returned late and was glad I didn't have to walk further. The student bar was open late and offered cheaper options than dining out. I'm very glad I stayed here!
