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...).

Maria was exceptionally nice and welcomed us with a box of Christmas Iceland Chocolates! The apartment is in an excellent location for shopping, eating and seeing the beautiful surroundings. The bus stop 9 is close enough to make it convenient to travel to excursions.

United KingdomMinor points/suggestion; to have some additional small lighting for the bedroom, reading etc.. Floor mop for the bathroom, the shower water runs around into the main area.
We were comfortable and it’s always great to have the flexibility to cook in or go out. The kitchen has all you need for a short stay. Super comfortable bed & lovely shower/bathroom. It was perfect for both local activities & getting out and about beyond the city.

LithuaniaThe only hiccup during our stay was the absence of an iron. While I understand it wasn't explicitly mentioned, we somehow expected one to be available. That aside, it's the only area that could use a bit of improvement. Overall, still a great experience!
I absolutely loved the location of this place! Everything was within walking distance, making it a breeze to explore the city without needing to rely on a car.

CanadaWe liked everything.
We (family of three) spent two very comfortable nights in Reykjavik at this place. Maria was a wonderful host, very helpful and responsive, which we had the pleasure to meet as we were leaving. The apartment is in a great (best?) location, it is beautiful, comfortable, warm and cozy. Everything one might need is there, including an espresso machine that makes great coffee. There is option for paid street parking, on the same street or neighboring ones. If you arrive late most spots might be occupied already. We would definitely stay there again.

NetherlandsWe stayed for a week, they left 2 rolls of toilet paper which obviously not enough. The apartment is very small it's hard to walk around, I think it's most suitable for a couple and not more. Parking in this area is an issue. There was another guest above us - the noise was sometimes horrible, you could hear every step they took. It was kind of hard to deal with the lock at the door.
Nice location. Great shower. Most of what you need is there. The host was available on the phone and very friendly. This place should be good for a couple.

BelgiumHot water comes directly from a central system from the city so the smell is really sulphuric. That is all.
Cosy apartment, very clean and close to the city center. Only a few 100m. Traffic is very limited so it is a quiet neighborhood. Restaurants and bars are very close. Also very close to a busstop for all your visits. Cold water is pure drinking water so no need to buy bottled water. In iceland they do not do that.

United States of AmericaThe queen was two twins pushed together, and there were two twin quilts, though we had that throughout Iceland. We had a (friendly) neighborhood cat appear on our bed one night, apparently got in through an open upper window.
Perfect location, a quick walk to restaurants and the harbor, but also to the bus terminal where the excursion buses leave. Maria was very friendly and responsive. The apartment has everything you'd need with a kitchen, table, couch and TV. The bed was comfy. It's generally a quiet neighborhood though the bedroom window is on the street and you do hear people walking by at night.

United States of AmericaThe only challenge was the door handle, which was a bit sticky.
This cozy downstairs apartment was perfect for our family trip to Reykjavik! The location is great, walking distance to everything but super quiet and mellow. Great coffee maker, all loaded up, and lovely kitchen, nice dining table and comfy bed/pullout. So loved the whole area and felt indeed like locals:)) Thank you!!

SwedenThere was honestly nothing I can say that was really negative! Being a property renter myself, all I can do is suggest the following to make it an 11 out of 10! Disposable paper towels and a sweeper (for cleaning up after my kids!) Antibacterial hand sanitizer Basic cooking oils like olive oil to prepare a light meal Reading lamps in the bedroom
Maria's place was amazing. You cannot get a better location if you want to be in the center of the city. We gladly were able to meet Maria to get the keys and settle in as we were tired from driving all day. What we really enjoyed was the exceptional pillows, bedding and mattress - we are a bit picky about these things, especially pillows and these were perfect. Everything was tidy and to a good standard. We would return again when we come back to Reykjavik!
