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 KingdomSome of the paintwork at the entrance doorway really needs redone. It is a shame because it creates an air of not caring. Our shower enclosure also needed an upgrade, and its doors didn't fully close.
I always book here when not staying with Icelandic family. The location is superb, the receptionists very helpful, the mattresses fabulous.

United StatesBreakfast was not great. It was ok, but not worth what we had to pay for it. Some variety, but the eggs and bacon were not good. There was salmon a couple of days, but not consistently. Didn't always replenish fruit and pastries.
The room was great, the staff was terrific, very friendly and helpful.

The hotel was within easy walking distance of all the restaurants and attractions we needed.

United StatesI would only ask that there be chairs on the balcony. THe balcony also like all the balconies in town do not have awnings so you cannot use them (without an umbrella) if it is raining which it seems to do alot in Septmber. Also took a while to figure out the shower. I had to go in and show my wife how it works. (I won't be a spoiler and leave it to you to figure out)
The location can't be beat. In the heart of Rekyavik with a great resutaunt (Snaps) right on the 1st floor. Beds were really comfortable. Large bathrom and great size room.

The best part of this hotel is the staff. They are incredibly polite, friendly, and helpful. I made several requests both before and after our stay, and they handled everything smoothly. Their responses were always quick and appropriate, which was a great help to us. We also loved the breakfast. While it didn’t have as many choices as a large hotel, the options were fresh, and they changed them little by little each day. The dining area was cozy as well.

United StatesIt’s in the perfect location! Right in the middle of the downtown area - lots of bars and restaurants and the harbor very walkable! It’s very comfortable and had everything we needed! The transfer that the hotel arranged from the airport also was extremely convenient when we were jet lagged and not ready to figure out buses.

United StatesNothing place is perfect and you can tell by this complaint. I wish they had plain black tea available. :)
It was a wonderful stay. The man at the desk was so helpful. There was some confusion at breakfast and the guy managing breakfast sprinted thinking I had left without paying, but it was just confusion and he handled it so appropriately. Hated he sprinted for no reason but he was very proper. The breakfast itself was wonderful. So glad I chose to eat there.

very nice size 2 bedroom with a lot of lounge space for 4 people. very nice front desk staff. location perfect. allowed us to leave luggage earlier - but then our room opened up early! bonus. P3 parking 2 blocks away and free parking 3 or more blocks.
