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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThe surrounding area was mostly commercial or industrial. There was a short walk to a water area however it was through private property, which was not comfortable for us.
The room itself was nice, and breakfast was delicious.

Very nice studio. Quiet, peaceful view with many birds, surprising to find such a beautiful place conveniently located, not very far from Reykjavik (if you have a car).

AustriaThe only thing that bothered us were the guests in the nearby apartment as the TV was very loud, except for that everything was great.
I stayed here my with my partner over her birthday. It was surprise for her and we stayed a few days in this location. We loved this guest house so much, it was quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature and not too far away from Reykjavik by car. On our first night we could see the northern lights and had an amazing view on Reykjavik at night. The house was super cozy and warm, we felt right at home every time when we came from a day full of sightseeing in the cold. We would definitely come again!

United KingdomIt might not be everyone's cup of tea so I point it out ; one side of the wall in the bathroom is glass so you can see through, there is a blind if you want some privacy but it doesn't fully reach to the bottom 👀
It was probably the nicest apartman I've seen on holidays so far! We rented a car, for us it was in a lovely location , close to the centre but away from the noise with a nice view, also comes with free parking. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to whip some breakfast together before heading out. The host made us feel welcome and she was available if we had any questions :) the apartment is clean, bright, warm and nicely decorated. Good value for it's price. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone.

The location was perfect, about 15 mins from Reykjavík but other shops were much closer. The apartment was absolutely stunning and had a wonderful view. Very quiet and all the amenities you need such as a kitchenette with all utensils, washing machine, smart tv for Netflix etc. loved it!

United StatesThe location is great! Close to the city, but away enough to enjoy the quiet of the night. The breakfast was great! Everyday there was a variation of foods and there was plenty for two. Above all we enjoyed everything and it was our first time experiencing geothermal heating. We were never cold.

SlovakiaThere is a beautiful view from the apartment, which is somewhat spoiled by the huge grill, which would be better moved to another place.
The apartment has an excellent location near Reykjavík, but in a quiet place with free parking. Everything you need is here, there are even binoculars for bird watching. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is large enough.

FranceThe only thing, which seems to be usual in Nordic countries, is that the bathroom is on the utilitarian side, with little room to move. That said, it is impeccably clean and functional.
- The apartment is really fantastic - cosy, stylish and with a nice view. - Very responsive and reliable yet easy-going host. - Breakfast… yes, recommended.
