Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomIt was a bit confusing trying to find our room at first, the instructions mentioned a lift but the door we went through had no lift. Equally there was no mention of "ok studios" all the signage was for hotel vera which confused us. The room also looked completely different to the ones shown in the photographs, it was still a really nice room but the photos may need updating on the listing. Our front door also whistled when it was shut, which was very annoying when trying to sleep, so we had to leave the door slightly ajar.
The apartment was really central and had good facilities. The kitchen was helpful for us to save money on eating out, the shower was nice and the bed was really comfortable. Response times over message were also very fast.

United KingdomI was given a room number and code for our room that was already occupied by guests and then being told I could not use my room between 11am and 3pm on one day during our stay with only a few hours notice, this was unacceptable and had they told me before I booked I would not have stayed there, we'd had a night excursion and got back at 3am, we had planned to relax in our rooms the next day but had to vacate it for 5 hours that we had paid for. I felt communication and planning was poor on their part. It was my second stay at this hotel but I wont stay again due to this, the apology from them was rubbish.
Location is perfect for Reykjavik stay

MalaysiaThe wi-fi was really weak that we could not connect to the internet. Informed the staff but no improvement has been made though they sent a technician to check. We have to buy a SIM card in order to connect to the internet.
The studio was very clean and comfortable. The space is big enough for the 3 of us. The location was excellent, very convenient to access to the shopping, supermarket and restaurant.

United KingdomWe didn't receive confirmation that the hotel was not called Ok studios instead it's Vera hotel. The restaurant was not helpful as they came across a bit rude as we had asked where was ok studios was and they replied next door.
We loved how close it was to the restaurants and the centre and how accessible the location was.

United States of AmericaThe wifi was a consistent issue. I was barely able to go to one web page without having a problem. If you stay here it may be worth it to pay for an internatioanl phone plan so you don't have to rely on the wifi. I did have trouble using booking.com to get in touch with the hotel to change check in and check out times, however they were very easy to get a hold of over the phone and very helpful if you give them a call.
The location was amazing, just steps from the lighthouse village. The room was clean and there was kitchenette so that you can cook some meals in the room. There is also a great resturant right below the hotel.

United States of AmericaThe only table in the room is tiny, about 50 cm in dia and there's a plant on it. Bigger table and no plant would be better. Hangers would be nice, there are no hangers in the closet. Things that should be fixed in this unit are: 1-the front door inside handle comes off when you open the door 2-the door to the patio does not lock, the patio is shared with other units so anybody could come in, not good.
location is awesome of course. Manager is pretty responsive, I emailed a few times, sometimes in the evening and got a response pretty quickly. The bed is comfy. The room we had was on the side opposite to the street, so quiet.

CanadaI really liked the hotel, but part of why I booked as a solo traveler is that the "24 hour reception" selling feature made me think there was maybe a concierge or at least someone at the desk 24/7. In reality you let yourself in and there's no staff onsite. This ended up being fine, but definitely not what I expected from the description. Also, if you're not on the first floor, be prepared to lug your stuff up some stairs.
Really comfortable and spacious! Great location too, and easy to get into the building. The kitchenette was especially handy. Staff were responsive and quick by the booking.com chat.
