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 StatesI wish the bathrooms were cleaner and the beds weren’t very comfortable. I didn’t think this was as good as a value as outside of the city because the rural hostels are way nicer for sometimes cheaper or equal to the price of this one.
I thought the staff woman was super friendly and helpful. Also the location was amazing I parked at the hostel and walked everywhere.

United StatesMost of the w.c. options were sub-par. Some of the showers were unusable (broken, hazardous, cold water only).
The location was excellent for the activities we wanted to do in Reykjavik. We were able to walk everywhere we needed.

RomaniaThe wifi did not work very well in the rooms (but it did in the restaurant/hallway/common areas). When we first got there it was a little confusing to find the correct entrance (it's on the back side of what from a distance looks like a government building, but don't worry there are signs on the doors to help you).
The property has a modern feel/design, and the bathrooms despite being shared are *absolutely* spotless (and there are enough facilities that you don't have to worry too much about waiting in line in the mornings). The beds were comfy, the room was reasonably quiet, the owners were kind and gave us all the info we needed upon checkin. Really nothing to worry about, this is a definitely a great choice for a one-to-a-few nights' stay!

Czech RepublicI ordered a room with two single beds and one bunk beds, only room with two bunk beds was available, much smaller than the one i booked too, booking.com and the hostel were saying it was the other party’s mistake for the wrong booking. The lady at the hotel offered me to cancel for free (not doable as last minute prices of hotels in Reykjavik on friday are way too high) or stay in a double room (4 of us 😂). I would have expected a better approach, they could have offered discount for example. The beds were loud when you moved or the other person, so a very bad sleeep. The whole place is huge, security cameras all over, showers with not very nice curtains, the only place i didnt like in iceland.
Location, near the centre, great pool next door.
