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.).

FranceThe hotel lacks an elevator. Also the room size is small though it’s adequately designed to fit everything that one might need for a short stay. The kettle was not so clean. The room floor wasn’t so clean either, I found out when I walked bare feet for few seconds.
We arrived around 10pm and checked out at 9.30am next morning, so not so much time to make a full experience of the property. Breakfast spread was good. The person at the reception who helped us during check-in was polite and patient. Parking was comfortable. Overall good enough for a one-night stay.

IcelandThere is no lift in the hotel, Breakfast started at 7am and was only until 9am. A bit early and we thought for New Year´s Day they could have relaxed the rules.
Convenient location. Quiet even though it was New Year´s Eve. Breakfast quite good with lots of choice.

IcelandAlmost never anyone in the lobby. When asking other staff I was repeatedly told that the person must be on a smoke break. When I finally found them it was true, they always reeked of smoke, really reeked. Some damage on the ceiling in the bathroom . Drunken loud noises from guests below our room.
The room was clean, nice size, good bathroom. Made a mistake with the booking, the staff after some negotiation helped and fixed it, it was my mistake so.i was very happy.

United KingdomThere were a couple of problems. New staff gave us wrong times for things (and we weren't to known otherwise).. such as breakfast.. which finishes at 9am, not 10am! The rooms must be vacated by 10am.. not 11am! (see where I'm going here?). We didn't get out breakfast and we were famished.. also the restrictive times meant we couldn't use the swimming pool. The resturant in the evening was missing lots of the options -- but what we had was just soooo good and the staff at the tables were just wonderful. Despite the issues - I'm so grateful that we got here and they were there to assist us. Another part of our trip that I wouldn't have been without.
Egilsstadin is a bit of a commuter town.. there's not much there.. there's only 2000 people live here, there's 6 fuel stations if I recall, and 9 car hire places. That gives you an idea... BUT... it is pretty.. and actually a fairly importantly labelled location on the Iceland map as there's an airport and lots of cool things 'nearby', such as the Vok Spar. So imagine when you're driving your car and hit a rock that blows out your Tyre like something out of the rocky horror show, and you have to limp for 4 hours at slow speed on a donut tyre... and you find this place. This hotel is the center of the town (I really mean it.. this hotel is the center of the town). The rooms are basic, functional, and comfortable - and came at the exact right time when we needed it. Great shower (no plug socket though so don't expect to shave). But the absolute best thing is the restuarant and the brilliant staff. I will definitely go again on my next trip.. the food in 'Glod' (restaurant attached) is not to be missed.. next time I hope they have more of the menu options available. Breakfast is free... but make sure the staff give you the correct times!!! Also - if you're a runner - the location is great for running. Lovely. very odd church though.
