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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 geothermal sulfur smell. But i will take it as it was an environmentally friendly way to heat the facility.
My 18 year old loved that there were games. We played ping pong and cornhole. Jirka greeted us and was wonderful for checking in. He showed us around and even carried our luggage! And he’s so handsome. Room was big, had kitchenette, comfortable beds.

PolandThe beds reminded me my time in an army. creaking, staggering. the bathroom didn't have a door, it had a dark curtain, which became transparent as soon as you turn on the light in a bathroom. And it was really hard to handle the door
The room was big enough, we had an own bathroom, washing machine and kitchen, which is great. the staff was super friendly. We loved this place because of entertaining facilities, such as: ping-pong, darts, massage chair, scary room and others. the one wouldn't get bored..

Good value. Nothing fancy and unpretentious. We all slept so well. The place is really quiet. The host was friendly and kind in the messages she sent. Of all the p,aces we stayed at in Iceland, this was the only one which charged a realistic price. Well done!

Switzerlandno complaints.
The place is huge, the room was extremely spacious, clean and the kitchen corner was perfectly usable. Jirka is a very nice, friendly host. The idea of the ghosts of Iceland for some of the common rooms is original and funny. We would have liked to go to the "ghost house" adjoined to the hotel, but it was closed. Jirka proposed to turn it on for us only. Overall we can recommend the place.

Czech RepublicThe building does not look too welcoming from the outside, but inside is actually quite fixed-up.
We were looking for a place to spend a night (and re-pack after 12 days camping in Iceland) before flying out the next day early morning (driving time to Keflavik airport was bout 1:20). The ArtHostel was perfect as there is a lot of common space which we could use to dry things and re-pack.

PolandThe only thing we think could be improved are showers, it would be great to have more private showers behind closed bathroom doors.
Our 4 people room was very spacious, definitely bigger than any other hostel room we have seen in Iceland. It had kitchen annex available with all basic cooking equipment. Also, there was a larger shared kitchen available and a huge dining space. We also were positively surprised by the entertainment area with table tennis. This place can be definitely more than just a roof to sleep under after a long travel day! The host, Jirka, was very communicative and kind. We had a really great stay in Art Hostel :)

Absolutely loved this place! Spent a few days touring South Iceland with our five kids and this place is amazing. We had a private apartment - three/four bedrooms with our own kitchen, diner and lounge and bathroom. Everyone we met was lovely and friendly, spacious rooms that were clean and tidy. Didn’t see much of the surroundings as we got in late and left mid morning.
