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...).

TaiwanSometimes it's noisy because other neighborhoods are chatting or drying their hair in the midnight.
There are so many facilities in the kitchen, and also includes many restrooms and toilets. Also with free parcking lots, and close to the public swimming pool and some tourist attractions. Great!

LithuaniaThe room/bed assigning is a mess. Upon coming back in the evening you can find your bed occupied by someone else and your clothes that were left on the bed are in storage, put there by housekeeping
The location is perfect, right at the heart of Reykjavik. The facilities are well kept and spacious. Beds are comfortable, staff members are nice. For this price in Iceland it is a gem

GermanyThe metal bunk beds were a bit wobbly, so you feel when the other person moves or gets in/out of bed. Mattress was okay, a bit thin. Sometimes happy noisy people outside the dorm in the common area, earplugs helped.
Great location just behind Halgrimskirkja. Small kitchen for tea/coffee/microwaved food on each floor and big kitchen for proper cooking downstairs. Very clean and safe with coded locks on dorm doors and entrance. Lots of space in common rooms. Friendly staff. Free parking behind the hotel and locked luggage room for early arrivals/late departures. Good value for money, would stay there again.

FranceNothing really. Maybe just the Wifi not being great if you are in the rooms on the extreme corners of the building.
Location, staff and comfiness of the beds were great. Got upgraded to a 5beds room instead of a 8 as initially booked. I asked if it would be possible to reserve a lower bed due to a minor injury and they were reactive right away and made sure I get one. Upon arrival there were a note on a lower bed reserved under my name. That is amazing service. Bathrooms and showers were non stop cleaned. I feel they clean twice a day. Of course it is used by many people and can become quite messy at time but overall for a hostel it was super clean.

PolandUnfortunately, not clean enough. The staff count on the guests, so the result is not satisfying. It's a point to be improved. No lamps next to the beds. In the twin room there should be more shelves, cabinet and hangers on wall/door for jackets.
Nice place, not far to the bus station and the center (further walk distance). Kitchen fully equipped. Quiet, rather clean.

PortugalThe staff was very kind and helpful, I had the chance to meet one Greek guy and one Spanish girl that work there and they were really nice and we could share a bit of how it feels to live in Iceland as the reason why I stayed here was because I needed some time to find an accommodation. There is free coffee :D the kitchen is a bit small and there’s not really much space to cook at least that I saw. They let me leave the luggage there for free until late afternoon when I could pick it up. Everything was fine I would definitely book again
