Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

IsraelThe apartment was spacious and wonderfully equipped, including a dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. The nearby supermarket had everything we needed, and we enjoyed preparing a lovely Friday night dinner. The house is right on the lake, with a beautiful seating area for coffee by the water. The apartment was very clean, with private parking in a quiet and high-quality setting that truly felt like home. Self check-in was smooth and convenient.

United StatesThe town is quiet and almost deserted. Don't think you are going to get a cup of coffee anywhere around here until 10AM unless you brew it yourself.
The name of the location was a little off putting and could have been a better listing.... BUT it is exactly as it states! I really was holding my breath on this stay but it was Stunning. The apartment was something like where I would live. It had everything. The view of the bay was perfect.

United KingdomOur son slept on the sofa-bed and commented that it wasn't particularly comfortable.
Stunning location, beautiful views and very peaceful. We had everything we needed. The house was very clean and warm and there was plenty of living space for 5 of us. Hólmavik was a good base for exploring the west fjords. We would certainly stay again. Would loved to have stayed longer!

United StatesYes, as other reviews mention, the outlets are funky, but we found plenty of adapters, so it wasn’t a problem. Just wish we had spent more time there.
Everything! The location is exquisite. We watched whales surface in the bay from the dining room table. The space was so inviting and comfortable. All within walking distance: grocery, pool, town center, and a beautiful hour-ish hiking trail around the town.

United StatesThe “apartment” sign under the parking sign was hidden by large rocks and we didn’t see it. We were not told ahead of time to go to the rear entrance. We were trying to open the lock box for the main house and couldn’t get in until I called the owner and he then told me we needed to use the rear entrance. The floor in the shower is soooo slippery especially when it’s soapy. It would be nice if the owner provided a non-slip rubber mat for use in the shower to prevent falls and possible injury. The electrical outlets are not the standard 2 prong type that we have found in all the other places we have stayed. Fortunately we found an extension cord that had 2 prong receptacles on it. There was no electrical outlet in the bathroom to use the blow dryer. I had to take it into another room.
Beautiful view, spacious house, king sized bed, washer & dryer. Well equipped kitchen and nice dining area and patio area. Close to town. It was comfortable and would be a nice place to stay for several days.

United StatesNo complaints, nice place.
Beautiful view, large and clean home. More modern than expected! For instance, the sectional couch pulls out for another large bed, and the bathroom floor is heated. Nearby grocery store. Seals and puffins are often in the bay and visible from the deck. This was one of our favorite stops in the west fjords.
