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...).

IrelandIf the cleaners cleaned the room while I was there I know I could request it but just kept forgetting. Was the only fault along with a few of the tv channels not working
The staff were amazing so helpful and friendly, the rooms were so comfortable and the location of the hotel was great. Right beside one of the main bus stops for the tours.

United KingdomWe didn’t have hot water or it takes 10+ minutes to come through. Our sink was draining extremely slowly. There’s no regular housekeeping service so didn’t have clean towels. Whilst I understand you can get them I just like it done automatically
Easy to find with on street parking available for a fee. We had family room which was decent size. We had small fridge, bath & stand alone shower

United KingdomAbsolutely no complaints
Everything. The location was perfect and it helped that meeting point for trips was outside-number12 bus stop. Breakfast was excellent plenty of choice and the meal we had in garden bar was lovely. Staff very helpful and did their best to ensure we enjoyed our stay, I had asked if possible could we be allocated a room with a view as it was my husbands birthday . Not only did they oblige but we were delighted to find the card and complimentary plate of fruit and treats left in our room .

United StatesInconsistency with the rooms, our first room had nice, heated floors and a mattress topper. Our second room had no heated floor and an extremely uncomfortable toilet seat.
Breakfast was great, lots of options and all fresh. The location was on the outskirts of the main strip but easy enough to walk to. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

I should say that in general I really like our stay in Fosshotel. It’s not located in a heart of the city, however it’s a 15 min walk along nice street or along the water. We had a room with a beautiful view. Staff was very nice and friendly. Breakfast is good and has everything what is needed.

United StatesI was at hotel 2 times in the week. First room 708 lovely. Good space and conveniences. Wish I had time to use tub. Upon return later in week I had room 345. This room is 33% smaller than other rooms for same price. There is no tub and open shower style. The angled wall made it hard to use TV, thermostat and other conveniences that were on unreachable side of room. There was only 0.5 m between wall and bed. The “desk” was also cut in triangle shape to fit in front corner and right in front of door. Chair did not fully fit under desk. Probably a safety issue for egress in emergency. So unfortunately I had a bad impression for my 2nd visit and final night before departure from Iceland.
Good selection of food at breakfast. Long lines at coffee machines. Maybe more premade drip coffee during peak time. Having small store in lobby very convenient snd good selection. Did not eat at restaurant or use room service. Hotel in great location to waterfront and main city part of city.

United StatesAs a one off, our first room had a heater w broken controls not possible to turn off, and opening a window did not help. With a fully booked hotel, the night reception supervisor found us an empty suite on top floor that was very nice; however, it was a windy night and unsecured objects on the roof were occasionally blown around by wind gusts, making noise. Supervisor came up to try to identify source but not possible as sounds were too sporadic. High praise for all her efforts to make us comfortsble!
Very spacious rooms; quick responses by reception and housekeeping to try to fix problems; very clean; wonderful views from top floors;

United StatesThere is parking, but it’s not free. If you arrive by car, you need to know. Where to unload the car. It would have been helpful to know this ahead of time. When we arrived on a Thursday afternoon around 5 PM, there were hundreds of people in the lobby. It’s a big hotel but in spite of the mass of people they were well organized. These were mainly tour buses.
Comfortable, great views from a 12th floor, staff
