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.).

United StatesThe hot water smelled strongly of rotten eggs. Had to shower and brush our teeth with water set on cold setting as even a little bit of warm water was unbearable. Luckily it was summer.
Location was easy walk to the places we wanted to visit. Spacious room and bed was very comfortable.

United KingdomThe bed was very uncomfortable and the decor was old and falling apart. There was only one tiny sink and mirror for getting ready. This made it difficult to share between two people.
The property was quiet and provided plenty of street parking spaces nearby. The breakfast was a good value and conveniently delivered to our door every morning.

United KingdomThe place was clean, safe and comfortable but needs a bit of maintenance, a lick of paint here and there would be good! The Breakfast bag contents varied a bit from day to day , on the "thinner" day it was barely enough!
JULY 2025 : It's a reasonable guesthouse, at a reasonable price for Reykjavik. You get a code for the front door by email a few hours before, room key is in the room door, never saw any staff in 2 days there, there is a phone number if problems. Three person room with a double bed and single was plenty big enough for 2 Adults, 1 Child and all our baggage. Approx 900m walk from BSi Terminal (for International Airport FlyBus) and 100m from Bus stop for Number 15 City Bus to Domestic Airport everything in Reykjavik is walkable from here. It's in a quiet area of town near the hospital. If included in your rate (or you have option to pay) breakfast is delivered in a bag outside the room early each morning, the buffet Breakfast photo in kitchen you see in earlier reviews is no longer provided. There is a a NesPresso machine and fridge in the room in the room and a decent coffee machine, kettle microwave and firdage in the kitchen Lounge on first floor with a few books in it, people were leaving luggage here when checking out, but it's just a room, not a "true" luggage facility (Bounce are on Laugerweg if you want something more secure)

United StatesThe shower door was so small that I didn't feel comfortable entering the shower. The facilities are a bit dated which may bother some people but not others. (My family was split on this.) The thing we found most odd was that we never saw any of the staff. They were responsive, just invisible.
This was a good value for the money. The room was clean and the Guesthouse easy to reach. It's an easy walk to the BSI terminal.The bed was wide and comfortable.

United KingdomWhen we arrived, there was no-one there to welcome us, show where our room was, or explain the set-up in the kitchen; we had to work this out ourselves. One of the windows in our room had no blackouts. There was a coffee machine in our room, but the coffee pods didn't seem to fit it. There was also an electric kettle in the room, but no tea bags or instant coffee to make a drink with.
Very good location - handy for downtown and for the airport bus. The breakfast was generous, although no choice was available. The owners responded quickly to email queries, and staff were friendly and helpful.

United StatesWe stayed during the off-season, so communication with staff was primarily through e-mail (no staff regularly on site) - but they were very responsive and helpful. Location was tremendous - near downtown, Perlan Museum, Airport bus terminal, etc. One thing to consider, although there was a sink in our room, we shared a full bathroom (shower, toilet, etc) with 3 other guest rooms, so “peak” times in morning got busy. Great and comfortable home base though.
