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 KingdomIt was all fine.
Breakfast was very good, meaning that we only needed a filled baguette for lunch. The guest kitchen was well equipped and had tables to sit at (as did our room if we wanted to). The nearby Bonus supermarket (4 minute stroll) provided us with baguettes and good quality ready meals (some of them traditional Icelandic). This combination was a great money saver for us (restaurants are very expensive in Reykjavic, and you have to walk to them after a full on day). You could easily cook a full meal if you had the energy after a full day out. The hotel was very quiet, as was the pleasant surrounding neighbourhood. The lack of a reception was not a difficulty, we were sent our access codes well in time and the system worked. There is a 24h "virtual concierge" service via WhatsApp (which we didn't need), and responses were prompt via the Booking.com app. There are lots of books to borrow in English as well as Icelandic. Only half an hour's walk from the city centre, and just under 15 minutes walk from the nearest tour bus stop (number 12) for excursion pick ups.

ItalyBathroom and shower were shared and fairly clean. However, just a few for the many rooms.
The room we stayed in was big enough and comfy, however very empty. The whole structure is generally very dark, and has a lot of rooms, resulting in a labirintic feeling, sometimes unpleasant. Breakfast wasy very nice, and the staff attentive.Check in was remote with a code.

FranceStaff couldn't speak much english I often had power outages in my room, the circuit breaker is in another room, so everytime I would have to go out to fix it In the breakfast room they do clean the tables but not as often as they should in my opinion Their booking account got hacked, the days before my stay I kept receiving fraudulent messages from them on booking.com saying that my booking will be cancelled if I don't click on a phishing link to secure my booking. They did warn me of the fraudulent nature of thoses messages but if I hadn't been careful I could have fallen for it

IsraelThe location is, i guess, near a neigberhood in development so there was a lot of noise especially in the mornings from construction sites so better check if its done, and its the summer so no real night time so it was a bit difficult to block out the light at night
The hotel in general was very clean including the shared facilities, nice location (about 20 minutes walk from the big tourist spots, very very good braekfast, and i especially liked the coffe machine on the second floor. And If you are a big beer enthusiast there is a very nice brewry down the steet.
