Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The rooms are not as nice as the rest of the hotel (especially the bathroooms--I didn't shower because the shower was exceedingly small and didn't look very nice).
The location is great, the lobby is nice, the staff are amazing, and the dinner/breakfast were wonderful.

Room on ground floor and people walking by the room and could look in the windows. No refrigerator (important for those traveling around and have food to refrigerate… only upgraded rooms have a fridge), showers doors only close partially and water gets everywhere in the bathroom. Coffee in the room was only partially restocked.
Location, clean, beds comfortable, quiet hotel. Nice inside of the hotel. We did not eat at the hotel. Typically Islandia prices. 3500 Isk per person for breakfast.

Small rooms, small bathroom. Wide range of food in breakfast but it wasn't very good in taste. The hotel charges way more than it should.
Clean rooms. Some with views of the harbor. Ours had mountain views which were also beautiful. This is the only big hotel in stykkisholmur. Great location to explore the cute tiny town.

The decor of the second room, a triple, (for two people) was dated. The left side of the sink was missing, there was gray paint on the headboard and the shower door did not close properly.
We had reserved two rooms. The family room was excellent.

Nothing to dislike. Dining room seemed busy most nights (I ate elsewhere).
Large, comfortable hotel set high above the town, Staff were friendly, with large dining area with good views over the town - in which a good breakfast was served. Short walk into town and harbour. Plenty of free parking. Golf course nearby.

The hotel is in process of renovation which is good and needed. Unfortunately our room was still not touched, meaning the furniture was quite old, bathroom not really modern etc but it gave us good comfort.
