Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

IrelandNA, everything was great.
The hostel is super cozy and welcoming, it's very clean and there's everything you need. The manager of the hostel is very friendly and helpful, easy going and a pleasure to talk to. I loved the fact that they give great importance to recycling. This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed.

CanadaThe welcome staff, Anita, went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed to have a wonderful stay. She showed me around with a proper check-in tour (which some places are very lazy with with self check-in), and even chatted with me to tell me all about Husavik and great spots to visit. As well, when I was feeling run down from traveling and had stomach issues, the owner directed me to the pharmacy. They knew all the opening and closing times of places which changed depending on the season. The hostel itself was very clean and cozy. The dorm room was comfortable and all the guests who came thru were friendly. The common area upstairs was also very comfortable. They even had a clothes line outside I was able to use for my wet towel and clothes.

United StatesWe missed having a sink in our rooms like some other hostels did. The bunk beds were also pretty low so you couldn't sit on the bottom bunk.
The hosts here were exceptionally kind, giving us recommendations and advice. They were the nicest by far of our whole trip. The building itself is very homey and cute, and Husavik was one of our favorite towns to visit on our whole 15-day trip. We loved how easy it was to walk everywhere from the hostel. We wish we could have stayed longer!

FinlandVery early checkout at 10. Even in private rooms no bath towels (you can 'request' them somehow, but who would notice before needing them). Not cheap for a hostel type place.
Good simple room, comfy common areas with a good kitchen etc. Helpful owner/staff.
