Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesNot much... only thing was that the wifi router is a bit far from the studio, so the connection wasn't as strong in the kitchen. Having another wifi point extension would help.
Ally is incredible and welcoming, the studio is beautiful and cozy, the location is so picturesque. I asked to check in early in the morning for my afternoon meetings, and Ally left the key in the door for me!

United StatesIf there is one improvement to suggest, it would be to remove one of the mattresses on the bed for single travelers. As it stands the (double) bed mattresses are stacked on top of each other in a single bed configuration which makes for a VERY soft sleeping surface, not great if you have back problems.
The apartment is adjacent to the owner's residence but has a separate entrance and it's quite private. As others have said, probably the best possible use of 14sqm. Decent size shower and sink (more than I can say for other, bigger places in Iceland), ingeniously placed drying area for wet items, plenty of kitchen utensils and appliances - nothing really missing. Quiet area on the exurbs of Reykjavík.

CanadaAlly met me at the door and provided a little tour over the property which is just next door to her main residence. The unit was sparkling clean: a comfortable mini-bedroom and kitchenette equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal. Ally is a very welcoming and attentive host: she would follow up later in the day to make sure you have everything for a good stay. This is a perfect accommodation for a solo traveller.

IrelandThe space was perfect for me, but it'd be very small for a couple... unless you love each other very much. There's very little natural light, and no view, but if you're not planning on being there much, that's not going to bother you. It's a cosy little bolt-hole to come back to after a busy day exploring Iceland.
Ally is a lovely, friendly and helpful host, who cannot do enough for you. The location is beautiful, if a little quiet, and there's a beautiful walk along the beach, looking back towards Reykjavik. There's a great wee swimming pool with hot and cold tubs overlooking the beach as well, which is open to the public. The accommodation is very compact, neat and spotlessly clean. Ally has made the most of every square centimetre of space, and I had everything I could even imagine needing. (The coffee Ally left out was delicious, and I'm fussy about me coffee!)
