How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Very convenient location, with reasonably-priced street parking a few blocks away. Easy walk to a number of restaurants. Our room was comfortable - we had a larger room with two beds, divided by the bathroom in the middle, so there was a good amount of space and "almost" like a suite for the parents on one side and kids on the other. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful.

Mini fringe in the room might be helpful.
We stayed in with our 6y/o in a Bigger room with entrance through terrace. It was very charming. View on the church and parlament provided very “central” feel. We stayed only one night but could have stayed longer. The cleanliness of the room was impecable. Kitchen island had tableware and coffee machine. Perfect to had a cup of tea or serve decently your take-away meals. Sleeping sofa was great and easily could accommodate two people. Hot water did not smell with rotten eggs! Taxi arranged by the desk came at 4 am, as requested.

Access to the room was via an outdoor walkway. The room layout was a bit strange, the bathroom needed some maintenance, the fridge was loud and the blinds were not good enough for the bright lights next door.
Location was good, room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and staff were helpful.

Nothing, we had a great stay.
This was a great hotel, staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was nice, the room was surprisingly big, very well equipped. The only thing that could improve it, and it's really minor, is that there are some basic utensils etc to allow you to cook some food in the room and a coffee machine. There's no kettle and theres no fridge (but it was cold enough we could leave stuff outside the window) but we weren't expecting to have any of that anyway so they are great bonus facilities and we would definitely stay here again. The breakfast was really good, we were given any additional bit we asked for eg extra creamer sachets, it was a great stay. And the bar was nice to chill out in.

The walls were thin but even then it wasn’t the worst. If the other guests are respectful it’s not a problem.
It was in the perfect location to explore Reykjavík and also for pickup/drop off for many tours. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
