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.).

NetherlandsCleaning the room, or at least provide something to sweep the floor.
Apart from the fact that you have to accept that everything is crazy expensive in Iceland, the hotel was quite ok. Nothing special. Enough restrooms and shower facilities per floor but enormously noisy.

United StatesThe building has no elevator and the spaces are very tight . I had to walk each of my bags separately for 4 floors . The baggage room downstairs has no lock . The common area has a coffee machine , nothing else . The single beds are very tiny which was fine but might be an issue if you're tall
I loved the location and the quaint building . The self checking was easy , the room was clean . The common showers and bathrooms were clean in the morning and enough so it was not crowded .

United StatesThe room was very small. No place to put things. Felt like hospital. It was very loud from outside. You can hear what other peaple do in adjacent rooms. Hard to sleep for gentle sleepers.
The location is just in the Center of Reykjavík. Beds were comfortable. It was plenty of toilets and showers. There was sink in the room. There was coffee maker downstairs and some common area where you can sit.

United StatesNo kettles in rooms but theres a machine in the lobby for tea and coffee. No lift, but common in these older buildings. No frig even in common area. No staff once cleaners are gone.
This is a very good value for downtown Reykjavík. Even though there were shared bathrooms and showers, the other guest all seem to be flowing and nobody got in each other‘s way. The bed was actually comfortable. It was not fancy but clean.

NorwayWhen we took a shower, it was very dirty. I might have been unlucky and been behind a dirty guest, but that was the only bad experience I had.
The location was great and the rooms were nice, lots of bathrooms. Coffee in the morning was great option. Could not have asked for a better location. The room had nice spacing and were very clean.

United Arab EmiratesRooms are not sound proof and walls are very thin. I could hear someone snoring even lol, but I was not bothered with it. During my stay all guests were courteous and seemed like everyone tried not to be noisy. And it was not crowded at all btw. I thought there is going to be a line to a common washroom/shower like in a students’ dorm but never had a problem with that. Book it if you are planning to be all day out exploring the city and u just want a decent place to sleep.
Location is great. 1min away from Bus stop 1, all excursion pick ups can be arranged from there. U can also get hotel drop off n pickup from/to KEF by paying a lil additional charge with Flybus. BSI terminal around 20mins of nice walk away, which includes a path through park and along the water. Famous church and Rainbow street are at a short walking distance, there is a supermarket just around the corner n lots of restaurants. U can take a walk along the harbor. They send an email with clear, easy instructions how to get into the building. No human contact btw, no staff to talk or ask anything, worked just fine for me.

IrelandCould use more maintenance as toilet door on 3rd floor was falling off its hinges and lack of toilet tissue but still worth the money.
Quiet, clean, easy to find and good instructions for access. Room was comfortable and ideal for our needs and great price for what is otherwise an expensive city to stay mid-summer. Luggage drop off worked well too. Thank you.
