How guest reviews work
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...).

Verified reviewThe overall experience from the location (close to key areas in the centre of city), staff and breakfast was excellent. We stayed for a week and would highly recommend. Location is great for a short walk to city centre and also bus stop 12 is right outside the hotel and makes it convenient for any trips

Verified reviewStaff were helpful and customer service was excellent. Good choice at breakfast and Beer garden .
Hot food at breakfast was cold most days . Old fashioned, poor TV in rooms, very little UK / English channels. Only BBC news and channel 5. No ability to cast from phone to watch something you may already have. Pretty poor these days for a 4 star hotel .
Thank you for your kind comments about our team, customer service, breakfast selection, and beer garden. We’re so pleased you enjoyed those aspects of your stay. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the TVs and limited channel options. We understand that having a wider range and modern streaming/casting options would enhance the guest experience. Please rest assured, we are reviewing this area as part of our ongoing plans to update and improve our facilities. We value your feedback as it helps us to improve, and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much more comfortable stay. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Best regards, Eyrún Gunnarsdóttir Front Desk Manager Fosshótel Reykjavík

Verified reviewRoom was very nice and clean. The staff were friendly and answered our many questions. The hotel was in an area within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and a food market.
There was no air conditioning. Even though Iceland is generally cool/cold, our room was hot at times. We only had a very small window we could open to get cool air.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your clean and comfortable room, as well as our friendly staff and convenient location close to shops and restaurants. We’re sorry to hear that the lack of air conditioning made your stay less comfortable at times. As is common in Iceland, most buildings are not equipped with AC due to the generally cool climate, but we understand that rooms can feel warm during certain periods. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration as we continue working to improve our guests’ experience. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Best regards, Eyrún Gunnarsdóttir Front Desk Manager Fosshótel Reykjavík

Not worth the value. Location was good but still a sizable walk on slopes. Parking was not included and for the steep price of the rooms we were already charged, paying another 50-60$ to park was a lot
