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...).

For a super new hostel, they really have it together here. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the space is exactly as advertised. It was easy to store luggage and get dinner recommendations. It's surprising that the cost of this place is similar to other hostels very close by, one of which I stayed at as well and it was not nearly as nice. The bathrooms are immaculate, the pod beds are comfortable, and the kitchen and lounge spaces are really comfortable for relaxing. Wifi worked great. It's an easy less than 15 minute walk to the BSI bus terminal, very close to tourist bus stop 11, and also very close to the public bus stops that go further downtown. I would absolutely choose to stay here again if I come back to Reykjavik.

NetherlandsMaybe it would be better if the women's & men's bedrooms/bathrooms are separated. This is not a big issue tho; it's still very comfortable!
The property is new and clean. I loved the quiet atmosphere, both inside the hostel and in the neighbourhood. The facilities are also super: nice shared kitchen with complete cooking utensils, comfortable common room, and clean bathrooms. Nordic Hostel is only 5 minutes away from bus stop #11 (this is one of the drop-off/pick-up points of the airport transfer bus) and 10 minutes away from the main street full of bars, cafes, and shops. Thumbs up to the staff, Gabriela, who had been very warm, friendly, and helpful during my stay there.

TurkeyThis place is opened very new. Location is amazing just behind the Hallgrímskirkja and walking distance to the center. Also you are very close to the bus stops where daily tours pick you up. I suggested that to visit local geothermal pool just behind the hostel. The beds were very comfortable.There is a socket for charging your electronic devices. Also blackout curtains are very logical for privacy and for the nights never go dark. Also you have a common kitchen for cooking. Federico is very good host. He answer all my questions about the country, he suggested local places and we talked lots of things. Overall my total ecperience was very good and I cant wait to visit again!!

ChinaI had a very pleasant four-day stay here. It is newly-opened, clean and comfortable, with a modern design and great attention to detail. The manager, Federico, was very friendly and gave me excellent recommendations for local dining and activities. I would especially like to thank Gabriela, the reception girl. She helped me out of an unpleasant thing, very warm, cheerful and chatty. She is definitely one of the reasons that I will choose to stay at Nordic Hostel again. Additionally, the bed is very comfortable and come with blackout curtains, ensuring a great night’s sleep. The kitchen is also very clean and well-equipped with all the necessary utensils and cookware. Highly recommend!

Very nice hostel close to the center. Perfect for a short or even longer stay, because the common rooms are not to crowded and the beds a perfect to darken up for a good sleep also in the summer where its not getting dark outside. Amazing friendly service and support. Very nice designed common rooms to feel comfortable even when its raining outside.

JapanI think the location is a bit far from the city center and at night it is a bit too quiet around. Also, I hope there can be at least female and male separate bathrooms and if there can be a female only room that will be great!

ChinaI was lucky to stay in this hostel which just opened two weeks ago. Everything is new. The room is very private and comfortable. What surprised me was that the room was very quiet all day long without any noise. The lobby is also very comfortable and cozy. There are many toilets and there is plenty of time and hot water for showering. The kitchen is not only clean but also equipped with all the kitchen utensils. I am also very grateful to a Chilean employee who is very enthusiastic and cheerful and helped us a lot.
