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.).

FinlandLike in most of Iceland, rooms do not have ventilation and someone in the shared room kept closing the window at night, so it got very hot.
Good common areas and very clean.

RomaniaHigh price for a bed in a six beds dormitory. Sinks in the common area a bit dirty, people are quite disreagarding. This is also because this is a big place, so a lot of mixed people... Also the kitchen was pretty dirty. The food from the bar was not great either.
Confy beds, amazing decor and design of the whole place, great location.

GreeceIf you carry valuables expensive stuff (for example camera gear) I wouldn't feel very safe, because all spaces are shared. That's to be expected of a hostel of course. They offered me some lockers, but didn't feel reassured. Didn't want to leave things in the car either. (No worries. It's a safe country. Chances of something happening are low.) Rooms are small, beds like coffins and it was a bit chilly. You get what you pay I guess (for Iceland standards). The room door didn't close properly all the way. Also it attracts lots of younger age people that make more noise. (That goes to positive if you're 20😛)
It's a first time for me in a hostel and I can say overall experience was very nice. It's very clean, has a lot of spaces outside the room to chill, bathrooms, showers and a big kitchen with a view to have lunch or breakfast. Nice decoration, well organised, easy access, check in and parking. The view outside is amazing! I do recommend it for a short stay on budget.

SloveniaThe most expensive hostel in Iceland but no hot water when you need it. I stayed there two non-consecutive nights but the only time there was hot water available was after 2am on the first night (I've checked it before at 10pm and was cold). In the morning it was fine again. So I believe if you are early enough you can also enjoy a warm shower.
Bed was super comfortable, helpful staff, very spacious kitchen and great location

ItalyThe showers didn't have something to put stuff on.
The place looks really nice and quiet, since it's a bit out of Vik (also probably good to see the aurora). The bed was comfortable, the temperature in the room was perfect and the room very quiet even if near the common area. The kitchen is very well equipped.

NetherlandsBedroom was too hot and stuffy. There was no place to keep things. The roof over the top bunk bed was way too low and caused some head hits. The bed curtain was impossible to set up right and sometimes it would open randomly.
It was clean, bed was quite comfortable. Parking was available.

FranceWe got a Mountain View room and it's well worth it! The view is brilliant. The room is warm, you will not feel cold at all even during the winter - heater, heated floors, and even a small electric heater if needed inside. the room. Inside the main building, there is a bar and communal kitchen. The kitchen is well organised - easy to find everything. The bar is definitely a plus to enjoy drinks. We absolutely loved this place and would definitely recommend staying here.

United KingdomThe only thing I didn’t like is how expensive the food and coffee was. The pizza was just a frozen pizza that they made, so not worth the price. Coffee was just instant, so you might as well bring your own stuff and use the kitchen upstairs.
Very clean. Pleasant stay. Kitchen had everything we needed!
