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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 property was under renovation and with no staff around to assist. It seemed quite messy and left careless.
The self check-in is a great solution. We’ve been given the code to open the room doors the day before so not to wait or queue. Breakfast was good and various.

United StatesI think having a front desk would be nice. We could have used help from someone to let us know where all to go sight-seeing, etc. But other than that it was really great! We loved it!
The breakfast was delicious. The room was very well kept. The location was really nice, 5-min walk from the main REK street for tourists with lots of shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay. I would love to come here again. It was great!

United KingdomThe room was very hot when we first arrived and was still very warm even after changing the radiator temperature and opening the window. Strangely there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room (not sure if this in an Iceland 'thing' or just this hotel but I'm used to even a budget hotel having a kettle and a cup in the room), it seemed a long way to stumble downstairs in the morning for a coffee and the stuff from the machine was pretty awful.
Check in was straightforward. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice and variety. The shower was very good, water a good temperature and very powerful. Bed was comfortable with plenty of bedding. Location is okay - a bit of a walk into the centre but not too far. Hotel and surrounding streets were quiet.

United KingdomThe TV in our room didn’t work, no signal. We didn’t really need the TV anyway so didn’t try and resolve it. The hotel was lacking in facilities information. For example, there was no information on who/how to contact anyone if we needed too or information regarding breakfast.l, how to access laundry/dry cleaning etc. It would be great to have a leaflet of information. Under facilities, there was some misinformation *it states docket next to bed, however this was not the case. *it states there is a wardrobe or closet, again there was none in the room I had. I don’t think the pictures reflected the room that I had. The room was quite dark and the windows were high so couldn’t see outside.
The information before check in, was perfect. Great information regarding parking, along with a video to look. Auto check in was great and so easy. Very handy location and makes the route to the city centre is great. WIFI was great in our room. We only ate breakfast and this was ok. Nothing special really but it was good to have this included. Shower was very powerful. I think it will look great after the refurb.

DenmarkNot the hotels fault but there is a lot of construction next door. We didn't know it was a staff free hotel so the front door and rooms are all done with codes so we had to search for emails before getting inside.
The breakfast was good and the location was great for exploring the city on foot, We did have a car and luckily managed to get a spot right outside the hotel.

NetherlandsIt's very close to the city centre, but on winter nights, walking 1.2 km in the wind, cold, and snow can be uncomfortable. I made a special request for extra pillows days in advance, but they didn't register my request.
The self-check-in system works perfectly, and the free parking spots nearby are very convenient. The room was comfortable, but although the bathroom was clean, it was not as beautiful as other hotels we've stayed in in Iceland. Notherlights tour picks up from the hotel location. There is a pricy but delicious restaurant downstairs, and there is no need to go out to eat if you are tired.

United KingdomNot being able to get a decent drink albeit alcoholic or non alcoholic at the end of the day from long excursions due to there not being a lounge area, I personally don't drink coffee which was all there was at the reception area, the coffee machine only dispensed black coffee although there were other selections on the machine they didn't work, and the restaurant kitchen shut at 9pm

United KingdomThe hotel operated a person-less check in, where room locks auto- released on a timer. There was a problem with communication so one of the two room numbers we were sent was subsequently changed but we didn’t spot the second email, and it erroneously cited all 3 room numbers. On arrival at the (cancelled) room we obviously couldn’t get in and set off an alarm trying. Another family were having the same problem and it was clearly quite stressful for them as they were a large group with young children. There was a phone number to call with any problems and this was well advertised within communal areas. Once we had gained entry the 2 rooms were adjacent (we had requested nearby so this was excellent) and we had no further issues.
Very clean and comfortable, and only a 10 minute walk to Reykjavik’s main shopping street. Easy to explore the city from the hotel. Perfect for our requirements. We had dinner literally around the corner from the hotel entrance at a delightful restaurant- warm, cosy and relaxed with really attentive friendly staff. The food was exceptional. The next morning it turned out to our surprise this was actually the hotel breakfast room, but it was unclear if it was the same business running it.
