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.).

Too expensive. Iceland is out of their minds what they charge for things.

Verified reviewLocation was in a residential neighbourhood, about 10 minutes walk from the shopping street, with a great view of the ocean and mountains on the way. Convenient parking at the back of the building, we never struggled to find space. Room was warm, with enough equipment for a comfortable stay. There's also basic cooking equipment provided, enough to make some simple meals. Easy check-in and check-out process. Good value (for Iceland). It was cheaper but not worse than other places we stayed on our trip.
When other guests were walking in their rooms and opening or closing their doors, the shelves in our kitchen would vibrate and the glasses and cups would make noise, which woke us up. We had to separate the glasses so they don't touch each other, and that resolved the issue, but our sleep was already disturbed.

Verified reviewThe apartments are located in the city centre and therefore walkable distance from the main city attractions. The apartment was tidy and it was easy to get into when arriving.
We booked for 4 people (2 adults and 2 kids) and had to set the sofa bed ourself. The hand soap and dishwashing liquid were diluted to the max. We also were provided with only a 1/4 of a toilet roll (no extra anywhere in the apartment).

Very small apartment, bathroom flooded when showering, washing machine expensive & didn’t work anyway. When reported staff basically said they’d see about getting it fixed.

The luggage storage space was on stairs that weren't wide enough and all the luggage fell down when trying to retrieve yours. The 1/2 bathroom was only a urinal. So 5 of us being female could only use one bathroom and share it with dad. The couch was very hard and uncomfortable. We did not enjoy our stay. Towels were all damp. The description said there was a washer and dryer in the apartment but it was in the basement and you had to pay.
