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.).

United KingdomThe only thing that was abit annoying was being woken up most mornings at 2am by the apartment upstairs scraping something on the floors but that’s not the owners fault and it didn’t ruin our stay.
Lovely modern apartment in a great location, well stocked with everything we could need. It’s also next door to a delish bakery that opens at 6:30am so you can get hot pastries even if you have an early flight.

SpainThe shower could do with a little refresh and while using you can smell the sulphur but this is normal around Iceland. Absolutely nothing major and didn’t impact our stay at all.
The livingroom is great so stylish with many seating options and we loved having the Apple TV! The location is perfect so central but also very easy to find parking. We parked each night for free at the church only a few mins walk away. Self check in couldn’t have been easier, the instructions were super clear!

MalaysiaThe apartment is located at the ground floor, it is a bit noisy especially if you keep the windows open. The water from the tap taste weird, there’s a mouldy smell.
The location is perfect, it’s easy to go around and there’s a nice bakery next door. The facilities provided are good to use. Everything is in working condition. There’s a laundry room and storage space to keep your luggage bags (after checking out)

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
Exceptionally clean aesthetic apartment, in the heart of Reykjavik centre. Directly next to the best bakery ever called Brauð & Co which does the most incredible cinnamon bun we’ve ever had, you need to try them! Host left very clear instructions on how to get into and find the apartment so we didn’t struggle at all with this. Facilities were great, left us a box of coffee which we were very grateful for as coffee is much needed for your early mornings and long days for exploring! Really close to everything including bus stop 8 which was the main one used for our tour pick ups the location was perfect, not to mention near lots of shops, supermarkets and restaurants. The harbour only being a short walk away as-well as downtown Reykjavik. So impressed with the apartment it was even better than the photos online and we were super happy! If you come across this apartment and it’s available, book it! 10/10 recommend.

United KingdomGreat location next to excellent bakery, close to restaurants, shops, swimming pool and Hallgrimskirkja church. Very quiet as well despite central locale. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and very warm apartment. We could also store luggage and host was very responsive. If I come back, it’ll definitely be my first choice.

United KingdomCondensation on the windows was an issue, but a Karcher window vac could ease the problem! Sound proofing from the upstairs flat (maybe some rugs?) would be beneficial as we had particularly noisy upstairs neighbours for a couple of nights.
Excellent location (Brauð og Co is literally next door and the kanilsnuður are the best in Reykjavik!) and very well appointed. Host was very accommodating in providing a high chair and travel cot which looked brand new and we were waiting for us on arrival.

AustraliaNothing really, if I’m really picky only minor couple of things were bumping our heads on the light over the sofa. Funny but did happen a few times. I also found the shower door a bit tricky but both of these things are very minor and I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this lovely apartment.
The location is fantastic. The bakery next door for breakfast with a cup of coffee from the coffee machine was a perfect start to the day. Comfortable and spacious apartment with lots of great features. Good kitchen facilities and some basic food items to use. We were out for long days and found it perfect to come home to at the end of the day. Easy to walk to everything and good communication from the host. Thank you.

United StatesInstructions for many things could have been clearer: couldn't get the tv to work (main remote had dead batteries). Took two people 15 minutes to turn on the shower. Lockbox described as silver but it's white. Instructiins in house are for a different property. And host did not respond to our inquiries by booking messages (granted we arrived in the evening and left at 11am the next day). But thebplace is amazing and I'd stay again.
Great, we'll equipped apartment in a perfect location. East check in. Good price for the location. Next to amazing bakery.
