Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

United KingdomWe were very happy with the apartment that we stayed in. There were good communications about the self check in which went smoothly. The apartment was clean, warm, well equipped and maintained. Plenty of room for a couple. Being well away from the main road it was very quiet. Beds were comfortable and there was an excellent shower and underfloor heating in the bathroom. We'd have no hesitation in booking here again

Singaporeall good.
This place is about 5 to10mins drive from the nearest main road. Seems like a quiet farm area to me. The key is self collection and you are able to park your vehicle on the premise for free. Everything is so comfy here and it is getting real dark during night hence make it a good spot for aurora hunting. Got the necessary facility in the unit as well. We are the sole guests during that night so can't really comment on soundproofing part that we read from other comments. Overall I would say it is a good place to spend your night at Iceland

SpainThere is not scissors in the apartment and I had to buy napkins.
If you're driving route 1 arround, it's good place stop to spent 1 night. If you want to see the Northern Lights, it's good place to spent many days. It's close (arround 1'5 hour driving) from many famous places in Iceland.

United States of AmericaThe lady upstairs sounded like she had on high heels and walked around till after midnight! The got up before 7 to start clogging on the ceiling again. Kept me up. Not the owners fault but very frustrating for ground tenant. There was no dryer, just a washer and we were soaking wet from the day.
It’s so cute! Perfect for our family. Little kitchen, bath, two bedrooms. Really everything you would need. Great owners. We’re even willing to come get us when the road was closed down but they let us through.

GermanyIf you have a ground floor apartment and there is someone in the apartment above you, it can get a little noisy. You hear every step and also their voices.

United States of AmericaThis was really a quintessential Icelandic location. We were greeted and escorted up the road by an adorable little ram. The views across the fields were spectacular. It gave us the sense of isolation we enjoyed while not being far from key cities. The apartment was spacious, clean, comfortable and up to date. Thank you!

United KingdomThe track from the road was rough and long, which for a small hire car created potential hazards. Given its isolated location, breakfast provisions would have been appreciated. The nearest town to get provisions if not prepared is at least 20 minutes away.
A modern, clean, comfortable facility with good kitchen amenities, including an air fryer, situated in a stunning location. The single bed had its own alcove, offering our son some privacy. Bathroom was modern, and the property was warm. The welcome by the local sheep was a nice touch and parking was no issue.
