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...).

The apartment was very spacious, clean and has a beautiful view over the harbour. It was nice and warm inside, kitchen fully equipped and everything was very close to the apartment.

United KingdomIf you're not used to parking in tight spots and/or come with a larger rental vehicle it could be a bit tricky. Our spot was located underneath the stairwell (the most awkward spot) so spatially constrained as the stairs ate into the space at the front. (other spots are available depending on room number so maybe we pulled the short straw). There was a bit of noise, the road is quite busy and some of the neighbors were playing loud music in the evenings (not ideal when sending young kids to bed), but maybe this was exaggerated as we had arrived from a couple of days of peace and quiet in rural Iceland. Some complimentary cooking oil would have been appreciated as it seems an unnecessary cost for just a few days stay.
The apartment was a very good and comfortable size for us (a young family) and comes with a great view of the old harbour. The kitchen came with the necessary cooking equipment and utensils. The area has some good restaurants and is about 20-25min walk to downtown Reykjavik. Private parking in the basement is available, but potentially a bit of a squeeze, especially if you have a big vehicle.

United KingdomI liked everything. There was nothing to dislike
We stayed in apartment 404. Your first impression is how warm and cosy the apartment was as you opened the door. When we opened the inside door, our eyes were drawn immediately to the view from the sitting room window. Wow, fantastic view of the harbour. The balcony was excellent as it gave you shelter from the wind and snow as you could then sit out and take in the view.The kitchen was well equipped, and in the bathroom was a large shower area and a washing machine and tumble dryer. The bedroom was large with plenty of storage and a very comfy bed. There was nothing to dislike at all. Fantastic apartment. All extras had been provided so we did not need to buy dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid ,liquid soap or detergent for the washing machine to wash our clothes. There was even shampoo and conditioner and a hairdryer available if you had not brought your own. The tap water is safe to drink and is cold and tasty. I usually drink sparkling flavoured water at home but couldn't believe how lovely the tap water was in Iceland . Fantastic apartment which was close to everything while providing you with a beautiful outlook. If you go to the left of the apartments you will find 2 supermarkets - bonus and kronan. Both excellent. You will also find Elko which will help you with any electronic needs you have. There is also flyover Iceland, whales of Iceland and many more areas of interest and things to do. If you go right from the apartments you find yourself in the busy shops etc of Reykjavik within 5 minutes walk. Excellent position for the apartments. The manager, Dilja, was a fantastic help and available throughout our holiday. We were given directions to the Elko store when we were looking for a new phone cable. Any time I texted through WhatsApp I received an answer within minutes. First class customer service. Could not have had as stress free a time without the help of Dilja.

United States of AmericaIt’s petty but there were lights that were out. Under counter lights in the kitchen weren’t working. We only had 4 forks and knives. We fixed our own meals at night so the kitchen was disappointing. If you’re going out to eat every night ignore this.
My daughter and I are traveling buddies but we like our privacy and our own space. This was a one bedroom apartment with a fold out bed in the living room. We had a kitchen, laundry facilities, a great location, quiet, and comfortable
