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 Statesbeds were a bit soft and saggy near the head/back area and given I have had 3 back surgeries in last 12 months, it did make things a bit painful.
LOCATION! Value. We did have a bit of a problem with code for the exterior door to the building, but so did so many other visitors. I think they may have been having a problem with system. But, we were always able to get in within 4-6 minutes.

We booked the room with balcony and it was worth every $$ the view was incredible , looking out to the water and the beautiful mountains , we also had a view of the church from the window on the otherwise of our room. The location was perfect very close to bus stops for tours and airport and also near great bakery’s and restaurants and moments away from rainbow street

United KingdomThe value for money was poor. At over £300 per night, we were disappointed at how basic this accommodation was. The bathroom across the hall also wasn't ideal. Being above a live music venue also meant it was very loud late into the night.
Location was great, right in the heart of the centre with good parking options nearby. Bed was also very comfy.

United KingdomThe cost is not comparable to the quality Vs any other destination. I appreciate Iceland is simply more expensive but this money in any other country gets you much better quality.
Great location although a little difficult to find initially. When dropped off by the mini bus from the airport it’s not directly at the hotel and trying to find the hotel in the dark at the end of a long day traveling isn’t easy

IcelandCold in the rooms, no way to reach staff. Cleaned and changed beds + towels + removed trash myself all 3 days. Paid for extra stay due to being sick, staff was not helpful or nice. No one ever at the property. Got stuck in lobby checking other guests in a few times which is not my job. Called police to have me vacate the room because I was asleep at 13.30 - I paid to stay extra time - which was more then uncomfortable for everyone but the hotel manager was hiding in the hallway instead of speaking to me himself.

IcelandThere is a bar/restaurant directly below the hotel that had live music every night until 11 pm. Once the music ended then you could hear people talking out on the main street, this is with windows closed. We were on the 4th floor and it sounds like we were in the Bar. There was no hot water for our entire 4 night stay and we were given $57 refund for the inconvenience. The hotel says its not there issue as the water come from the town. I called everyday asking about the hot water issue and was given different excuses each time, nothing that resolved the problem.
The location was great, as it was on one of the main pedestrian streets and close to shops and restaurants. There was a great coffee shop across the street that we ate at every morning. The rooms were clean and equipped nicely for a family of 4.

PortugalThe apartment is located in the busiest area of Reykjavík and is not soundproofed (the windows are very old). The noise on the street was unbearable, people were partying in the street absurdly loudly until 4:00AM and I could hear them as if they were inside the apartment. And then at 6:30AM the city employees started cleaning the street with extremely noisy equipment and I simply couldn't get even two hours of sleep!
The property is like an apartment with the basic equipment for you to cook.
