How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewLiked the location, amazing view, cleanliness and warm welcome by lovely host Lina. We loved the apartment and enjoyed our time there.
We were just 3 people when we were in the property. So everything went great. If it's full toilet will be shared by 3 rooms. Hope that works fine.

Verified reviewLocation served us on the way up north from the capital, and then back down on our way to Golden Circle, but overall not much to do there. But Lina herself was a wonderful and welcoming host, and has done a great job to make sure her guests are comfortable - little things matter - like hooks in the bathrooms for clothing, offering shampoo and soap, providing bins for towels in all the right places, good parking, quiet place, etc.
It would be nice if coffee was offered like at other similar places.
Dear Irene, thank you very much for the criticism. We are always happy when guests feel comfortable. Coffee and tea is available in the apartment in the kitchen. Lina is happy to help if something is not found right away. Lina is also happy to provide information about the numerous destinations worth seeing nearby. We look forward to seeing you again Greetings Jan (Reservation Manager)

Verified reviewCleanliness, location & hostess
It is not a private apartment which it is advertised for. We (as a family of fout) got two individually lockable bedrooms. There are a shared bathroom & kitchen which needs to be shared with the occupant of a third bedroom.
Thank you very much for your criticism and the positive evaluation of the cleanliness, location and care. With regard to your restriction of the privacy of the apartment, we ask you to pay attention to the advertisement on Booking.com. Here, each of the 3 available rooms explicitly refers to the shared bathroom and the shared kitchen.

Verified reviewA Guesthouse which fully deserves its name. It's situated in a location with a wonderful view across the fjord. The owner greeted us personally and gave us a very warm-hearted welcome. The whole apartment is bright and spotlessly clean. Our room was spacious with comfortable beds and there is a well-equipped kitchen. Room rates are rather moderate. One of the best places we stayed during 3 weeks in Iceland. Strongly recommended!
There was nothing we didn't like

Verified reviewClean and new room with a nice view from the shared kitchen. We luckily had it all to ourselves which made a difference. Owner warned us for the bad weather ahead which prepared us better for what was still to come.
We missed shampoo, coffee and thee. Having it available at location makes a difference when traveling around. Beds are a bit short if you are 1.90
Hello, thank you very much for the feedback. In addition to your information, we add that a kettle is available for the preparation of coffee or tea. The beds have the dimensions 200cm * 90cm.

Verified reviewQuite a treat. Clean, comfy, quiet, superb location with a stunning view of the snowcapped mountains across the fjord. Kitchen is small but well equipped with everything in perfect condition and again, what a view. Lina, the owner, is a sweetheart, gave me what I needed to wrap,a parcel for mailing and let me leave my bag and my food in the fridge after checkout as I had a later bus.

Verified reviewLina is a great host. She helped us out when we didn't know how we should continue our trip due to severe weather conditions. Her experience was super helpful. We ended up staying an extra night which we loved because her apartment is lovely and extremely clean. Everything looks brand new and the kitchen has everything you might need. We can highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back.
