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 resort fee that is reimbursed in the restaurant is not always automatically taken off the check.
The most luxurious hotel in the city, the Edition is exactly what you'd expect from a high end hotel. The restaurant is fantastic, the location is great. Right by the water.

I didn't love the restaurant or cafe. Food selection could've been better and it did not stand up to the overall quality of the hotel.
Everything! It's centrally located and if you are looking for a posh experience with a wonderful spa in Iceland, this is the place! The staff was attentive and helped us in a very timely manner. Wonderful sauna and steam room at hotel.

What didn’t I like? Honestly, the only thing I didn’t like was that it took me until after I left to realize just how truly priceless this experience was. It made me reflect on how easy it is to focus on price—until you’re given something so rich in heart, beauty, and care that you suddenly understand the real meaning of value. This place changed the way I think about what’s worth paying for. It’s not just a stay—it’s a reminder that when something is created with love and excellence, it’s worth every bit and more. So really, what I didn’t like… was how long it took me to see just how much this place gave me.
What did I like? Everything. Truly—everything. From the moment I walked in, it felt like stepping into a kind of magic: this exquisite wonderland in the perfect location, just steps from everything in Reykjavík, but somehow still its own peaceful world. The atmosphere? Fabulous. The design? Beautiful. The scent in the air? Absolutely hypnotic. But what made it unforgettable was the people. Every single staff member—every one—was kind, caring, and genuinely attentive in a way you can’t fake. The heartbeat of this place is its compassion. You feel it the moment you arrive… and it makes you never want to leave.

Eleanor assisted us with both check-in and check-out, and she was absolutely fantastic—extremely helpful both times. The rest of the staff were just as polite, friendly, and accommodating. We also had the chance to experience their spa, which was amazing. The breakfast was delicious, whether from the buffet or à la carte.

I wish they had mentioned/explained their resort fee, and how you could use it at their bars/restaurant, which i did not know until day of checkout. Though I feel the hotel is amazing based on staying in other hotels in the area I did not feel the price difference, differentiate it enough from surrounding hotels.
This place is amazing!!! It's super easy to find in the city! Plus, they have a very accessible front entrance that allows taxis and other transportation to leave/pick you up right at the front. From the moment you get close to this location, you get a wonderful scent. (That they do sell in the spa) The staff, particularly Ben and the concierge, were incredibly kind and helpful. I did an early check-in, and when I got my room, it was a very spacious room with a nice view of their court yard and VERY clean. The spa is easy to schedule, and the facilities are clean. The bars and restaurants are all beautifully decorated (especially the rooftop bar) with great drink and food choices. The surrounding areas are very nice, with great accessibility to shops and restaurants along with stunning mountains and ocean views.
