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 StatesSome mornings you’ll have to fight for the bathroom. Lots of people, few bathrooms. The heat is cranked up so rooms are really hot, even in Icelandic winter.
Very clean and spacious room. Great price for such a convenient location. Common space are huge, kitchen amenities are great too. Seems like a great place to stay with a big group of friends.

United StatesOne thing that was frustrating was that although nearly never half full, guests were not allowed to sit in the entry lounge without paying.
I really enjoyed the location, price for value, and security. The staff was friendly, and they stored luggage for free, which was very nice. I also liked the common rooms and areas that were available to eat, chill, or work.

GermanyThe room was super modest, we barely had place for two people. They should at least provide a night table and some spots where one can hang the wet towels or jackets.
It has everything you need for a short / long stay. We liked the kitchen areas and the big options for toilets. The location is also great and price also quite good. The free parking is great

Denmark- No personal locker (I understand it is Iceland and people do not know theft here but people staying are often not from Iceland so it would be an improvement to have some personal storage area) - You can hear a little bit people in the corridor if they are staying on tables next to the room and are talking late at night. Although it was not a big disturbance, it was a bit annoying. Maybe some areas should be indicated as silent after certain hours?
- Good room size - It was usually very clean - Good facilities overall (big toilet and a lot of space to move, lots of kitchen and « leisure » areas) - Internet working fine - You can leave your luggage before check-in and after check out - Staff helpful and pretty nice Quite secure

HungarySome guests were noisy and weren't thoughtful of others, but they had nothing to do with the place itself.
The staff was amazing, either in the reception and the cleaners as well; everyone was kind and if I had some kind of problem, it was immediately solved. I met some awesome people there.

RomaniaIt is pretty noisy during the night. The building was something else before being a hostel… maybe a hospital or a student dorm?! Don’t know for sure though. The conditions inside the room are fine for a short stay… however, i felt like everything was pretty dusty. The windows in our room were old and wind was blowing here and there which made us move the beds to another direction. It’s fine overall but it consider it as a budget solution.
The location is very good, 3-4 mins away from the big church. They also have a private parking just in front which is a big +. Quality/price ratio very good for those who need just 1 night or for a short stay.

Great location to easily explore Reykjavik, the privacy twin room was very reasonably sized and the staff were very friendly and informative. There was a sink in the room which was very helpful and there was plenty of space and storage for clothing/luggage.
