Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomVery low shelf above the bed about half way up the headboard which we found was ideal for banging your head on!
Good value hotel for a on night stay in Akureyri with short walk into town. Room was quite and good nights sleep. Some of the decor was a bit dated. Bedroom layout odd with the toilet one side and the shower the other side behind the head of the bed which was a bit strange.

IcelandOur room was close to the lobby and we could hear people walking, glasses being moved outside our room and just alot of noise from what was happening outside of the room. We will be back but then ask for another room.
Beds were amazing. Size of room good. Very good over all

United KingdomYou could hear a lot of car noise from the street in the bedroom, window blinds let through light from the street, the toilet was separated from the bedroom with a frosted glass door that didn’t close completely which meant zero privacy when travelling with someone else

United KingdomAkureyri is on a very steep hill. Hotel is at the top of the hill slightly outside of the main centre. Worth considering if mobility is an issue.
A great base for Akureyri, staff were all amazing! Rooms were clean and perfectly adequate for a short stay. Bed really comfy.

CanadaIt was odd that the toilet was in another part of the room, which meant we had to walk around the bed/room between using toilet and showering. The shower didn't drain properly, so the water was pooling quickly.
5-10 minutes walk from the old part of Akureyri. The hotel has free parking. The staff were friendly. Beds were comfortable.

GermanyThe location was ok, but in the winter the pavement can be quite icy and slippery, and to go to the centre, you have to walk downhill, and with icy pavement it can be quite dangerous. Food was good, staff was ok (after I fell on the pavement with the back of my head, the receptionist did lack a bit of empathy…). The room had an interesting design, but shelves right on top of the bed did not look the safest to me.

CanadaNot much of a view if you're facing the parking lot. Nothing of note immediately by the hotel but the downhill walk is fine (uphill back the hotel might not be good for older people). Our bed had two mattresses put together and they didn't match. One was firm, the other was not.
Nice size room with a decent view of the parking lot and mountain. Decent internet Walking distance to the town center.
