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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomGreat reception staff and location. Very happy with breakfast, cleanliness, decor etc. My only advice is that the restaurant is thunderingly noisy, so do not plan to use it unless you're under 20! Make sure your room is not on that side of the building. Also the rooms seem generally to be on the small side, especially the single room which is very tight indeed.

United KingdomI miss the lack of kettle. Nespresso machine just doesn't make a good tea. I deducted a star because this hotel is started to show signs of wear and tear. A chip out of the chair etc. it is nit picking. Beds were comfortable and this was the end of a two week stay in Iceland but the room wasn't that luxurious end I had envisioned. You do get to use the Borg sauna and jacuzzi so we did but I am a room comfort and breakfast person. Those extras don't beat super quality bed Iinen for me. The banquette seating in Apótek is very comfortable. Hard chairs not so good. Hard chairs are by the windows so banquette every time for me. Comfort comfort comfort!
In a country where hotel breakfasts are top tier this one for me was the winner of all those we tried. It was the cakes and pastries (yes yes not an every day breakfast but hey I am in holiday so fancy cakes for breakfast, why not?! ). Luckily we were there three nights so didn't have to gorge. Tried a selection of the offerings over the three days. The bed linen was good. We had a deluxe room but we didn't have a sofa in our room so the superior would probably have been fine. At the price point I could have paid £40 more to stay in the arguably more comfortable Sand Junior Suite. Overall, we tried two Kea hotels and would try others!

Good breakfast but not up the standard of lunch and dinner which were excellent and unusual The location could not be bettered - charming places nearby, walking distance to museums, especially the Punk Museum, which was crazy and wonderful. Quite near the main bus stop for dropoffs and pickups for airport and trips.
