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 reviewVery professionial and understanding staff, a delight to experience. Seemingly sparce facilities for them on shift work is likely only by perception. I have enjoyed a single room and double room stays and both are excellent, breakfast could be said simple but actually is plentiful and delicious. Access to drinks and coffee is welcome snd the housing maked comfortable and homy
Absolute nothing

Verified reviewClean, well stocked room.
To say the walls were made of cardboard is an understatement. My neighbors weren’t even being loud but I could hear every word of their conversation through the walls and from their TV. You can also hear every person coming up the stairs or driving by outside. Cheaply made building that charges too much for what is more appropriately a hostel or motel.

Verified reviewGood hotel with friendly staff and ample parking space. It's about 20-25 mins walk from the downtown. The rooms are a bit on the smaller side but clean and equipped.

Verified reviewStaff was very helpful and friendly; went above and beyond to accommodate our early arrival. Breakfast was excellent with many choices.
Hotel was a bit out of the central part of Reykjavik. There were no complimentary tissue boxes in the room. Recommend that the hotel put a list of local, walkable restaurants in every room as that would make if much easier to find a place for dinner.

Verified reviewBreakfast was good, enough selection to get you started. Room was decent, bathroom was large, shower was good.
We had room 101 and it was on the main floor with access directly in the front entrance. It was a corner room with big windows for light, but you couldn’t leave the blinds open as people on the street and in the parking lot walked right by and looked in. The room was very hot and the only window we could have open was a high one in the bathroom. I didn’t not feel safe with the other window open as it would have been easy to yank it open. The fan in the bathroom only turned on when the shower steamed up too much. Nice room otherwise, just to location of it was awful.
