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.).

IcelandThe parking was a headache. There should be a space spesifically for elderly persons using the guesthouse. The nightclub accross the house was very loud all night and every night which made it difficult to sleep. Some guest were not adhearing to rules about the quiet time mentioned in the rules.
Liked that it was located near shops, cinema and restuarants like Berlin.

United Stateswhat ruins this place, as others have noted, is the noise on the weekends. And it’s not the noise from outside, it’s the clueless, obnoxious, loud and rude people staying at the Guesthouse who stay for one night (Friday or Saturday) and slam every door, stomp up and down the stairs drunk and are really the worst types of travelers. It’s not management’s fault they don’t read signs and don’t realize there are lights for the stairs or that there are signs saying private parking or that all you have to do is turn the deadbolt on the front door instead of slamming it repeatedly and shaking the entire building awake. One note for management: everyone in Akureyri knows that front door code, as evidenced by the local IIcelandic kids who tried to throw a rager the first night I arrived.
I absolutely loved my cozy and super clean room at the Torg Guesthouse. It was well appointed and the staff were helpful and kind. The location and price can’t be beat. I stayed 9 days and Sunday through Thursday is was perfect.

IcelandNoise from nightlife. Very unclear sign stating private parking for Torg. Very easy to take it as guest parking but turns out that it is only for staff. Guy on a black pick up yelled at us for unloading the car in the parking space.

IcelandThe place is sort of loud, but that is advertised in the information about the building. It is just due to the fact that it is in a neighborhood near bars and restaurants and people are walking around and partying in the evenings, especially on weekends. The stairs could be difficult for guests with mobility issues or a lot of luggage to carry up. I was traveling light and it was just fine.
Beautiful little room and attached bathroom. The central location is very nice, easily walkable to shops, restaurants, and bars. Nice view over one of the central squares in town. Comfortable bed and bedding.

United StatesNot the properties fault, but there was some sort of festivities going on in the Square that lasted until about five in the morning. This resulted in us getting very poor sleep and having a tough day.
The room was beautiful, and it had a great view of the town Square. It was very cozy and nice to be able to watch TV.

ItalyThe standard double room is too small (the one-bedroom apartment is good). And the free toiletries were enough for only one night, and they weren't refilled, because there was no daily room cleaning (so then it would be better to provide more toiletries).
Convenient location in the town center, with good breakfast options and a bakery right outside.

RomaniaSince our apartment was on the last floor it was more like an attic, so in the bathroom and one of the bedrooms you really need to crouch to not touch the ceiling. Also we book the apartment for 5 people but we only got towels and clean sheets for 4. Another aspect is that this is located right near a small square, which hosts some events from time to time. There was a small concert that you could hear very clearly with the windows closed that lasted until 1 am.
Apartment look nice and was clean.

SwedenThe standard room was very small but cleverly designed to maximise space
Ideal location in central Akureyri. The Modern Art Museum is just a stone's throw away from the hotel and a short walkaway to the botanical garden and the restaurant scene. The hotel style charachter remains classic, yet with a modern touch in the choice of colour scheme and furniture pieces. The service is of high standard.
