Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

NetherlandsGood self check-in hostel. I had a bed in a 8-bed dorm and the dorm was spacious. No bunk-beds but normal beds and enough space in between beds. When door of dorm was closed it was very quiet there ;) The sanitair was enough and clean too and there was a big kitchen. Would definitely want to come back here.

United StatesI had a difficult time with checking in since the self check in key card wasn't working and I arrived at 11:30pm. I wish they had an easier way to reach out to staff like a Whatsapp number or any contact information that doesn't include calling an international number.
Clean room. I only stayed for a few hours to sleep so I don't have much opinion about it.

South KoreaThe hostel accommodates quite many rooms which means there are a lot of guests in the building at the same time. The restrooms were enough to avoid simultaneous usage, but the public kitchen room was a bit of a mess. I saw some group of people not cleaning their dishes and pots after using them. And some other guests were talking too loud to make me feel this place is not a public one.\
Good location in the center of Selfoss. Public restrooms are clean and enough to avoid usage with other guests.

United KingdomArrived evening time - contact free check-in which a little weird. Drains were partially blocked which meant I spent 30 minutes attempting to 'un-poop' the toilet within the first hour of getting there then wading after a shower. No staff were about to contact. Thankfully there was minimal smell. Appears there was a blockage somewhere which the staff were dealing with when we left the following morning.
Booked last minute (whilst sat eating pizza down the road) - so ability to do this was excellent. Kitchen well equipped and spacious. Beds were comfy. Only flying visit. Seemed quiet but guess depends on other guests ;-)
