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):
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 KingdomThe room needs true blackout curtains given the price of the room. They were thin and did little. At breakfast you had to pay for espresso and other strong coffee although the brewed coffee was like tea. We were used to getting coffee drinks included with inclusive breakfast throughout Europe. Given the cost of the rooms, it seems a bit petty. Not their fault, but every taxi we ordered through the hotel came 10-15 minutes late.
Amazing location and staff. It was expensive but Iceland is very expensive overall! Very kind about offering room service items like milk and extra coffee, and really helpful at the front desk.

Everyone was very friendly. The location was great. The room was comfortable but on the small side. The spa was amazing.

United StatesI had a courtyard view rather than overlooking the square but it was fine since I wasn't spending much time in the room. Breakfast wasn't included but I ate at a nearby delightful coffee shop/restaurant called "Hressingarskalinn" instead.
I stayed in a standard single room. The bed was somewhat narrow but fine for one person. The room had a sizable closet with hangers and shelves, a desk and chair, a nightstand and easy chair, and was fine for a short visit. The room was very clean (if you wanted housekeeping during your stay you need to request that at the front desk) and the bathroom was in very good condition. The staff were helpful with printing my boarding pass and I took advantage of the luggage delivery service advertised in the elevator (for a price) for transporting my suitcase to the airport, so I didn't have to lug it on the bus. That worked out well (the staff made the arrangements with the delivery company) and I thought it was worth it. The hotel location is on one of the main squares and had many restaurants and shops nearby, including a food hall with lots of different cuisines just a block away. The wifi worked well. The hotel is very close to one of the main city bus stops which is convenient for catching the bus to/from the main depot from which the larger buses to the airport, Blue Lagoon etc. depart.

United StatesBreakfast was not so great. Relatively poor food presentation for the price. Beds were a bit small, but again more european style.
Great location, amazing rainwater shower. Small rooms (european) but fine. The breakfast is so-so. Ok but not high-end. There are many places to eat outside the hotel that are in walking distance so I would take advantage of that. If you are doing excursions other than the Northern Lights secure breakfast at the hotel as you will be leaving early. Overall it was a good stay. Staff was super nice and helpful. I would recommend.

IrelandLoved our stay at The Borg Hotel, beautiful hotel and room. Location was excellent very close to a lovely selection of bars and restaurants and a convenience shop, yet the area was very quiet no noise from the street. Our room was on the 5th floor and had a great view out over the city so we saw lots of fireworks during our stay for little Christmas. Bus stop 3 for tour pick up was just around the corner. The hotel and room were very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful with booking airport transfer. Looking forward to returning in the future!
