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 reviewThe accommodation met our expectations. It was nice and clean. There was seating in the garden both at the front and the back. We can't comment the bar or breakfast as we didn't use them.
Breakfast was served only from 10 a.m. má

Verified reviewWe loved the atmosphere and the organization of the place: thanks to the door separating the well equipped kitchen from the rooms, you can cook at any time. Dorm with curtains for privacy. Assigned beds at check-in, so even in case of late arrival you go straight to your bed, no need to look for a free one

Verified reviewThe room is nice and the location is perfect. In the kitchen you have basic facilities for example pasta. The bathroom is ok.
Other people were very loud and it was past midnight - quiet hours.

Verified reviewThe common are was wide and nice
Our room was close to the restaurant and during our stay there was an event and we couldn’t help listening to the performance until the end, while we’d rather sleep instead. Maybe it could have been nice for guests who appreciate live performances at late evenings. Moreover a group of other guest talked loudly in the common area until late at night,
Thanks for your input, good for future guests to know,the bar closes at 12 on weekends. about other guests is human nature,

Verified reviewDecent value given the location - in Egilsstadir. The beds were comfy. You have to be creative in rooms for your luggage and belongings since there is no space or closets. (We lucked out with a room with 6 beds so we used an empty bed for all of our luggage and etc. Not sure where we could have put our stuff otherwise...) \ The shared showers, toilets and kitchen were clean enough for a one-night stay. Check-in was easy.
Thanx for your input, yes we dit it on purpose to have not much space, ok to use extra beds for it, in our 8 years of business, tourists are traveling with more and more luggage. Hostel size has not changed, but complaints about space are more than ever before
