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.).

ItalyThe shared kitchen looked and felt a bit “sad” overall (the worst we experienced in Iceland). Also, the property did not communicate with us timely and we were not shared any information on how to self check-in. Upon asking other guests, we managed to get in touch with the property and someone showed up to finally let us in our room. As avid travelers, we kept our cool and managed to solve the issue relatively quickly, but it might have caused much more distress in a less expert traveler. Very bad job this time around.
Really spacious room and good location & view. Shared toilet was alright and did the job. We did love the breakfast, very rich and perfect to kickstart a day of sightseeing.

United KingdomOn our floor, there were only WCs. The only shower room, as far as we could see, was in the souterrain, where the kitchen is. Not sure how this would work when the place is even half fully booked.
If you like things a tiny bit weird, this one's for you. It's a big old school house complete with a piano and a reverse strung guitar and old furniture and pics. Our room was big and spotless, and there is a big kitchen down stairs, same level ad the only showers. The views are just stunning. Only 3 of the 20 or so rooms were occupied, so we had the place to ourselves.

A convenient hostel very close to the sights of the Golden Circle – Thingvellir National Park and Geysir. A comfortable stay here with our family. The room was quiet and the breakfast was generous.

United KingdomThe facility is a little bit run down, with a few dim or flashing light in the common area. One of the toilets on our floor got a sink with dirty water, and the bathroom next to the gym had bad smell. Overall it’s good value for money.
We have a room with two single beds, and two bunk beds. The beds are comfortable. It’s quite roomy and warm. The breakfast was quite nice with quite many choice of food from 7-10am. Few of the accommodations of similar price range include breakfast.
