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.).

United StatesThe location was fabulous -- right on Rainbow road. Traveled as a family of 4, stayed in room 9 with a bunk bed for our 2 kiddos. Shared common area with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, sitting areas were available. The room suited our need - a place to sleep / wind down / wash - since we were out and about every day.

IcelandThe sink in the bathroom was very small, not possible to do anything but wash your hands. I wanted to wash my face but that was very hard.
Beds were very comfortable and the service was very good. Good sound isolation for a place right in the middle of party life, we were there on saturday for a birthday and went down town, we didnt go out for long and went to sleep while people were still out partying, you almost can't hear the party people outside.

United KingdomThe bunk beds are a little scary for small kids - the top bunk side is super low so we were worried our 7y.o would fall out.
Location is excellent. Super central and yet still super quiet. The place is easy to find and well equipt. The room itself was snug for the whole family but fine for a night and useful to have the communal area.

United StatesBathroom and shower tiny!
Location was great! Keyless entry great - accidentally keyed in wrong a couple of times and was locked out (nice security feature) but the host was very responsive and got me back in within a minute. The giant common area was amazing although we didn’t really have a chance to use it. Would have loved to wash some clothes if I had the time. The location amazing… steps away from great food and live entertainment!

United KingdomThere has been loud music of a nearby club at least until 3 am often accompanied by shouts and loud voices, preventing a good sleep. Also there was no mention that there is no lift, so with a big suitcase it would have been a problem.
The place was nice, very clean and nice decor. While the location is very central making everything very accessible, it is not quite at all preventing a good night sleep. Perhaps it was Saturday night!

BelgiumThe only thing I can mention was the isolation between 2 rooms, we could hear people speaking through the wall but maybe our neighbor was just a loud talker
Ive been coming to Iceland for the last 2 years and have spend many nights in different hotels. And ive got to say B14 was amazing! Best quality I've had for this price range. The location is really good! Like really you cant get any more central. The beds are comfy, the space was very clean, the shower was good and all the amenities were there!

United KingdomGlass windows facing others flats with only net curtains covering windows mean can be seen through window so not very private. Triple room was not really triple as shown on website pictures There was not enough space to pull the sofa bed out.
Room was modern clean and comfortable. Bed was cozy. The common area facilities were fantastic with added extras such as cereals provided and tea and coffee. Access to a dryer was a plus after the rainy weather. And balcony was nice large space. Central location good. Lots of useful information provided in booklet about the surrounding area. Bar downstairs if you like a drink but could not hear this so didn't disturb your sleep.

NetherlandsOnly a minor thing, is that you need to press the doorlock code in with your nails rather than fingertips, because else it won’t recognize the number. The city center of Reykjavik has apparently turned into a pretty touristic destination, but thankfully the windows were thick enough to mute drunken passers by during the night time. 5 minute walk from Harpa conference venue and even shorter from busstop 6.
I stayed in room 5, top floor no elevator so it was a bit of an exercise to get upstairs. The room is good, clean, the bathroom clean but a bit small if you’re a bigger/taller person. Good facilities in the main/shared kitchen, including washing machine.

United StatesIt was not what my 62 yr old mind could picture from Booking. com pictures. More like an upscale hostel for adults than traveling college kids. No elevator which has been never been a problem for me, however two flights of circular staircase with a large suitcase ( heading on a 10 day cruise) was a bit much. No place to leave bags when arrive early ( flight from US had us in at 0630). Code for door entry was easily overwhelmed ( my husband & I are fairly sophisticated in these matters) which resulted in calls to owner.
Wonderful location, right in the middle of restaurants and shops! The place was clean and very comfortable with a wonderful heating system that was so welcoming on a cold rainy night. Owner very responsive to our many phone calls…
