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.).

United StatesIt was the strangest set up I've ever seen. It is a self check in and check out with no staff. This in itself is weird but it looked like a converted nursing home. It was basic, basic, basic with no soul. If that is what you are looking for then go for it. I think there were better options closer to the park
The facility was very clean, spotless in fact

United StatesThis was not worth the cost - at all. The most expensive hotel we stayed at during our Iceland tour and the worst. First there was no reception staff, except during breakfast hours. Needed to use phone in entryway to call person who confirms one code for front door, our room number an code for the room. When another couple had trouble with the system, the manager reluctantly drove over. There were only 3 room occupied the night we stayed and the very nice people at Gilbakki Kaffihus, next door, said that was normal and the locals were very disappointed since the hotel changed hands. We had a room for 3 with 4 twin beds. Only one set of beds had night stands. Only 1 chair in the room. Towels were thin and no bath mat. No ice machine, no bar - essentially no amenities what so ever except breakfast. We would like a refund!!!
Breakfast was decent.

SwitzerlandWorst quality/price ratio we had during our 2 weeks holiday in Island! The hotel is much too expensive for what it is. Bad smell in the room. The shower curtain does not reach the floor so it is impossible to take a shower without flooding the floor. And for that price, we could at least expect to have a shower carpet... Hotel to avoid absolutely.
The only interest of this hotel is the location.

PolandLots of things that should keep u away from that hotel! First and foremost is the checking in “process”, let’s just say that there is no one in the hotel, it’s like a ghost hotel! If u wanna get in, u need a code to the doors, but if u wanna have that u need to call the number (written on a hotel door) but it’s pointless as no one gonna answer it! After an hour of waiting, and calling booking.com service a guy came shouting my name loud on the parking lot. He either barely spoke English or pretended to do so, gave me codes to the doors and that’s it. No explanation, nothing! If u loose a card with codes…u r done! No one will help u to get back to your room! The room we got in was very basic, bad, chair, towels, but it was smelly! However we got no chance to change it as….there is no one in the hotel to talk to! Breakfast is not worth paying for it, and it’s served for one hour by the same guy who gave me a piece of paper with codes. U better go to the cafeteria on the other side of the parking lot, u can hear there that this hotel has been having such “overwhelming” stuff last few months and it’s better if u don’t use it! I am not sure why it has 3* or why they charge so much! bar, restaurant, everything is closed, abandoned!
Lots of parking space, took me a while to find something.

United StatesPhone call to get key code just beeped (was at hotel, 4:20 to 5:30). Tried for an hour. No one else at hotel. Had to make other last minute arrangements, fortunately there was availablity. Saw on booking.co. that Welcome Hotel had no availabilty and next availabilty was unknown. If there was a problem with the hotel, someone should have let me know beforehand (either hotel or booking.com).

IcelandThree possibilities why there was no breakfast: - All the staff have covid. - The staff refuses to wear masks and gloves. - Covid is used as an excuse just to have an easier life. The coffee-machine didn't make coffee. Wanted to be cleaned on the first morning. I tried that but it failed. After that some staff managed to clean it, but only because I left everything on the machine open. Nevertheless, on most mornings there was no coffee, because the machine had very often an Error30. Unplugging and plugging the power sometimes helped...for a while. We saw a bread roaster in the kitchen, but it was denied. New towels and toilet paper where only provided when you met staff and asked for it. The bed linens where not changed. Our baby had left a little poop on it. The baby bed we asked during booking was not provided.
There was a refrigerator in the dining room.

IcelandThere was nobody there at checkin nor in the morning when we left. The restaurant and bar were closed, no breakfast and no supper. I stayed at this hotel some 15 years ago and found it excellent. Now it was only a place to sleep. No local TV, only satellites.

NetherlandsWe arrived in the late afternoon and no staff there - which was not a big deal, we used the password to enter the hotel and the room. But the room had a weird smell, mostly came from the bathroom. Further, we found blood in the pillow case and a huge mosquito in the shower. During the two nights stay, no staff cleaned our room and no staff that we could complain/talk to. It’s really not worthy paying that much money with such low quality staying.

United StatesWe were concerned that we had been told to arrive no later than 9 pm. Since our ferry arrived after 8:30 pm, and we had to drive an additional hour to the hotel, we were concerned that we might not being able to access the hotel. However, everything was okay even though we arrived after 10 pm.
The first morning we got a breakfast box for each one and it was not very good. The second morning there were more people in the hotel and breakfast was served and each person choose what to eat, much better.

United StatesThe room we booked was for a hotel in Hellissabdur but it was closed so we were taken to a very old and run-down apartment building in Rif which is a different town. We learned from the locals that the hotel had been closed for months; long before we made our reservation but it was still being advertised as a hotel so false advertising of a hotel that not longer existed.
