How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

However, everything else felt very outdated. The bathroom, in particular, was unacceptable – extremely small, with no ventilation, and an unpleasant odor. It made the stay much less comfortable than it could have been.
The hotel was clean and the beds were comfortable, which we appreciated.

The room we had for 4 was a room plus a loft so there was plenty of space. Breakfast was great with a very good selection.

There was a security camera just outside our room in front of the huge window. Though the view outside was great with view of mountains, we couldn’t leave the curtain open for privacy. I didn’t like the location of room #216 which was neither in 2nd nor 3rd floors. But, the view from the loft was great.

It is difficult to get to the room with luggage, some rooms require you to had take a half flight of stairs. Only one way out, go the wrong way, and you get lost, no map. Parking could be identified better.
Good location in town.

Way too expensive, too little value for money.... The hotel looks like (and probably is or it was) a students college , which is not in use during summetime and is therefore transformed in a hotel.. Room are spacious and beds comfortable, but the furniture is ruined and overall appearance is really basic. Overall it is ok a for a one night or short staying, but for sure it is too expensive for what offered. I have paid much less for luxury apartments in Reykiavik, so I would definitely adjust the prices .......
The hotel is ok for one night staying, good breakfast

The price was not worth the amenities as it was very basic. There was no hand soap in bathroom and the curtains could be better to block out light at night.
The facility was clean and location worked for us.

All good! We anjoyed our stay. Basic room but we know what to expect.
The room was small, nice, basic, and comfortable. It is a dorm room during the school year and hotel in summer. This is common in Iceland and makes good use of the building! It is affordable, comfortable, and great for saving money on hotels when all you need a bed and shower. We travel this way in Iceland and this was a lovely hotel that fits.
