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.).

Great location, plenty of off-street parking spaces (when we looked for a nearby car park, there were 4 out of, say, 30 spaces available), nice service and a very tasty breakfast in the house next door. The host informed us that it was free to take our bikes for a ride, and clearly explained all the necessary procedures.

EstoniaMy room was positioned between the kitchen and the bathroom and so I could hear the other tenants both late and early.
Freya Guesthouse was comfortable and well situated for the tourist attractions of Reykjavik. The neighbourhood is quiet. The host is on site and easy to get ahold of. The kitchen was comfortable. The bathroom/shower was basic but good enough.

United StatesNothing at all, I loved this place!
It was safe, very clean, simple but very comfortable accommodations for an excellent price. It is in a wonderful location near the main cathedral, so you can go anywhere from there; yet it’s just a bit tucked away so it’s quiet and cozy and quaint. The kitchen had everything you could need to make some soup or store lunch provisions in the fridge.

PolandThe walls were very thin and you could hear every single word the neighbours said. It was not only inconvenient during the night or early morning if you wanted to sleep, but also in the evening I felt weird hearing all the details of the talks, or knowing someone can hear me or be bothered by my activity. The bathrooms were kept as clean as possible, however they need renovation - the only renovated one (featured in the photos) was upstairs, and the shower area ceiling there was so low it was uncomfortable even for me (1.65m tall woman). Although the room was generally clean, the floor under my bed was really dusty at the arrival, what might be inconvenient for someone with allergies.
The location was very convenient - close to the city centre and Hallgrímskirkja, as well as the bus station and bus stop #8 which is a pick-up point for many tours. The staff was really nice, and the provided smoothies were a really nice surprise. Room was spacious enough for one person to stay, probably would be fine for two people as well.

United KingdomDidn't like the smell of the hot water whilst showering. It does smell like rotten eggs, however this is a thing in iceland as the hot water naturally comes from volcanic activity and not the hotels fault. Just wasn't prepared for it when i got in the shower 😂😂
Loved the accommodation. Very welcoming. Stayed hered for 5 nights. Great location not far away from what you'll want in town. Even got to see the northern lights just outside. Would deffo recommend staying here
