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...).

LatviaThe location is perfect, just next to main attractions. Rooms were clean, so were the showers and bathrooms. In the kitchen there are plenty utensils to use for cooking.

CanadaThe location is perfect right behind Hallgrimskirkja. The facility is easy to find, clearly organized with signs, etc., very clean and the staff is friendly, kind and welcoming. We were able to store our luggage for the day as we arrived in Reykjavik very early. In particular, a lovely staff member named “Jumi” (I’m probably spelling this wrong) arranged for us to check into our room early because my daughter was exhausted and hadn’t slept in the plane. This was so kind of her and we really appreciated it!

UruguayIs difficult to find a free toilet in the early morning. The entrance instructions are quite confusing at we spent some time trying to understand which of all the entrance was the correct one.
The room was confortable and unless the bathrooms are shared you have a sink inside the room.

FranceThere weren't any lockers or safe space inside the room to keep the luggage and belongings. The rooms are small but I would prefer if there were less beds and the possibility to keep the belongings safe. Plus, for the price it would be nice to have breakfast included.
The location is great and even though the building is big, it's quiet and relaxed inside.

CanadaPrice is too high. Specially if you get a room in the first floor. Washroom are not too clean and no privacy at all if your room is by the kitchen area.
I spent 2 separate nights here. The second night we stayed at a room with private bathroom, which was very good compared with our previous experience. The room was on the second floor, much more private than the first one. I can write a completely different review for our first night. The room was just next to the kitchen and lunch areas. To go to the washrooms (not as clean as desired) we needed to walk in front of everybody seating there eating or just taking a break.

IrelandThe only thing that could be improved is the noise level on the ground floor. Because my room is right next to hallway on ground floor, there will be a bit noisy when people are gathering. Otherwise all good.
1. Location is incredibly convenient - right behind Hallgrímskirkja cathedral and next to Sundhöll geothermal pool 2. 2-bed room for one guest is spacious and comfy

Czech RepublicOur room couldn't be locked as the lock was broken. All the doors were sort of squeaky, the hostel would deserve better maintenance. Also the water pressure is very low in some bathrooms.
Good quality for hostel. Cheap for Iceland/Reykjavik with very convenient (central) location. Finally decided to stay twice - the first and the last day of our stay in Iceland.

NetherlandsWiFi could be better definitely for a country like this. - The bunkbed where I slept on cracked a lot and I missed an area near bed (when sleeping on upper bed) where you could put your belongings in.
They walked with me to the room - Showers and toilets were very clean - Towels and soap was included - Even though it was a hostel it felt like a hotel - Very close to touristic spots - When I come back I would stay here again
