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.).

AustraliaThe pillows were very flat - some slightly fatter ones would be good. The apartment was on the ground floor at street level so we had to be aware of having the curtains across for privacy. However the security in the apartment was good.
The location was good - easy walking distance to the main sights. As we’d just finished 10 days driving, it was great to have a washer and dryer and we really appreciated the clothes airer to hang our washing on (we had our own pegs but it would be good to have some supplied). We also appreciated the range of supplies available eg laundry liquid, shampoos, shower gels etc. The blackout blinds worked well. Street parking was good. The information provided by the hosts prior to our stay eg supermarkets, restaurants etc was very helpful.

United StatesI didn’t realize it was on the corner of the main road. The noise from the passing cars was very disruptive especially with the midnight sun which allows people to be out later/longer

AustraliaDespite saying there was free parking there wasn’t. We were expecting on site parking which is why we booked it. There is free parking round about but when you’re a tourist driving into Reykjavík you don’t know where that free parking may be. We had to keep moving the car to different zones and had to get the parking app and work out how to use it pronto - bit stressful 😱!

SwitzerlandJust be advised that the apartment sits on a busy street so there is some noise from traffic.
Our host Stína was wonderful! Very quick to reply to any questions from my side and gave me helpful tips about my stay in Reykjavik. The property is in a great location and the apartment is cozy and welcoming. The bed was comfortable and there is even a pull-out sofa with a mattress topper, making for another comfortable place to sleep. There are many good places to eat near the flat and bus stop 15 for excursions is quite close. We loved staying here and can highly recommend this apartment.

I liked most everything about this property. It was clean, nicely furnished, well stocked, and in an incredible location. Out the door and you’re into the Old Harbour area with endless shops and restaurants . . . and amazing views! Stina was so helpful and sent a wealth of information about the area and also the whole of Iceland!

AustraliaI found the lock box difficult to open and I had trouble lock ng the front door despite folding owing the insteuctions left. On a wet day I was unable to access the internet on any of the wifi connections. There is only a small view of the sea and mountain from the apartment.
The location of the apartment is very central and an easy walk to all the sights.

IrelandI'm not sure if you could really say there is a sea and mountain view - bit of a literal (neck) stretch... Remember when you smell the shower that you're in Iceland and the water is heated geothermally. We initially thought there was a drains issue!
Great location and very comfy clean apartment. Everything works well, the hosts were extremely communicative and helpful and friendly, good secure parking, comfy beds and sofabed. There was even food there! There were three of us and we had plenty of space and privacy for the few days - there is one actual bedroom with great storage and two beds which can be joined together. There is a shower washing machine and dryer in the bathroom (no bath) and again, plenty of storage, toiletries and cleaning supplies. It's within easy walking distance to pretty much everything and getting the buses from the airport is super easy (they gave very helpful and clear instructions) - don't waste money on a taxi!
