Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomBreakfast was disappointing, the hotel was plainly very short staffed in the restaurant. The quality and choice of food was adequate, but it was taking too long for the food to be replenished at the buffet, and for clean cups etc to be brought to the drinks station. So it was all a bit chaotic, and a let down compared with the rest of the hotel. We may have been unlucky, this could have been because of the hotel workers strikes in Reykjavík, although we were advised that the Borg Hotel was not going to be effected during our stay there.
Excellent central location in the City, very good choice of restaurants and bars all within a short walk. Reception staff very helpful, room as described on the web-site, and very clean.

United KingdomThe only improvement we can suggest is perhaps a coat hook/rack in the room as we struggled to find places to dry wet coats when we got caught in the bad snow and heavy rain/sleet.
Really lovely property in the heart of Reykjavik. The staff were really friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room was a great size and in great condition and very clean. We used the spa facilities which were all well kept and a nice bonus.

United KingdomBreakfast room could do with better lighting and better furniture (some wobbly tables). Rooms not particularly large but adequate and rather plain.
Great staff! Professional, helpful, polite. Good choice breakfast. Central location. Charming building. Parking at the front (if you are lucky). Very good dining room and dinner with good choice of wines.

United StatesMy only complaint is that there was no way to control the heat in my room, and it was way too warm for me. I would end up opening the window (in the middle of winter) to get fresh air and cool down the room.
It's an artdeco architectural designed hotel close to everything in the city. I love the old framed photos. The rooms are well stocked with everything you need, including blackout curtains. The gym and spa are wonderful. There are so many wonderful restaurants nearby, and around the corner is a store opened 24/7. I didn't have the privilege of eating in the hotels restaurants because of timing. But it looked good. It is absolutely close to everything, shopping, restaurants, attractions, etc. If you are taking day tours, bus stop #3 is right around the corner. You can't go wrong staying here.

United KingdomThere is no parking at the hotel. There is street parking on the roads around the hotel but this can be busy - it looks us around 15 minutes to find a space on a Sunday morning. You also need to be careful of the parking regulations. We parked in a parking area but facing the wrong way down the street and got a fine on our first night !
Nice traditional hotel right in the middle of town. The hotel overlooks a square park area. Our room was very comfortable with a nice bed and bathroom. The rooms overlooked the terrace of bars on the adjacent street - I can imagine this may be noisy during warmer weather but was unused whilst we were there. We didn't drink or eat at the hotel, preferring to try out some of the local bars and restaurants. The staff at the hotel were excellent and informative and helped us arrange a Jeep safari to see the Northern Lights.

United KingdomThe Borg has improved in the main area which required improvement and this was the restaurant area so well done. Our stay was delightful
Direct bus from airport hotel using the special Grey Line bus company mini bus just 45 mins transfer at extra cost though. Stayed at this hotel 13 times now. Previously the restaurant was not the best although the décor is very good. This time the restaurant we discovered had improved considerably and now well worth a booking. The buffet was excellent and in fact would be hard to beat offering a large selection of fish , meat and vegetarian dishes to high standard. Breakfast was very good with a variety for all. The bar has improved with Andre providing an excellent cocktail service :). The restaurant manager most helpful. The Spa is very relaxing and staff willing to help with your enquiries.
