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.).

The pillows were awful. They need to be upgraded. The amenities listed were "Air Conditioning", which is false. I checked into my room on a warm sunny day and it was hot inside because of the direct light. There's no thermostat and no air conditioning. Only one window opens 4 inches, so you can barely get fresh air in the room. If you want a quiet night sleep, forget it. Bars are directly across, underneath, and next to the building. Unless you stay up till 2-5am, you better take some sleeping pills.
The location is great. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The room and bathroom are spacious. The nespresso machine & mini fridge are two of the most important things I look for and both worked great. The shower has excellent water pressure and shower heads.

Great location, room was great and really good communication and quick replies to any queries! Bar downstairs is noisy but it quieted down by 11pm so that wasn’t too bad. Luggage storage was also great to have access to on day of checkout! :)

Biggest issue for us was that it was a non-refundable booking and due to a death in the family we had to leave early with no refund. There is not breakfast, and there is not any on-site staff, just so those who are booking are aware. (Breakfast is available many places nearby though!) The building is pretty old and some things are hard to make LOOK clean, although I think it all had been cleaned.
The code to get into the building worked fine for us, and the rooms were large. There were earplugs and we did not find the noise too aggravating, although there WAS intermittent noise throughout the night. There were plenty of outlets for charging stuff. The location is great for getting food and seeing the sights of Reykjavik.

Entrance Code was changed before check out, we couldn't even get in after breakfast to get our luggage. No excuse, just "that's the way here", does not help a better rating.
Hotel was ok. Beds were comfy. Automatic Check in, no staff like typical Iceland Hotels

The room was smaller than pictures portrayed. Since the hotel was essentially self serve (you could get additional towels or toilet paper on own with code to access) it would have been nice to have more than one towel and one roll of toilet paper at start of multi day trip. However it was nice to get when convenient for us.
Location was perfect for experiencing the City. Even though there were no staff on-site they were readily available to answer questions.

Comically loud at night til 2am when I put on noise cancelling headphones. TV had one channel playing sports that worked. Mugs were dirty, whole building felt tired and dirty outside of the room. Really tired of self check-in locations.
Central location, nice shower, nice blackout curtains. This was comfier for me than their other property in town, Swan House, due to the presence of bedside tables and lamps.

After five nights, I asked for a room cleaning, and nothing happened. As soon as I asked for assistance, they granted the cleaning for the day after saying that they had a lot of people checking out, so there were a lot of rooms to clean (!). I’d also like to have a small table to work, but there is no table in the room.
The location (1 min to the Rainbow Street), the comfort, the contactless check-in and the remote assistance while I was there. Plus the accurate cleaning service (thank to a very good professional)

The self check in didn’t go very smoothly and could be improved upon. My door code didn’t work and it took a bit to figure out .
