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 TV was not working, unable to get a signal. The room was limited in the amount of plug-ins and very limited towel bars in the bathroom. There was not a person on-site that I could consult when I had an issue with the room door.
The room was clean and located in a beautiful setting with the ocean surrounding the property. We took advantage of the quiet neighborhood for walking. The nearby grazing horses were an added bonus to the setting. I appreciated the timely response via email to a question I had about the room before my arrival.

United KingdomI wouldn't change a thing - its a place I would gladly return to.
Of the ten locations we stayed in Iceland this was our favourite. If I could give it 11 ot of 10 I would. It is the kind of place I would move to Iceland to live in. Beautiful scenery; quiet - you could not tell that you were 10 minutes from central Reykjaiv. You feel like you are a millionaire - beautiful beach to stroll along; horses to pet a golf course to walk around. There is even a sauna and hot tubs. The room was great with a lovely en-suite.

AustraliaNothing to add.
Room had exceptional views with seaview on both sides of our accommodation, and a paddock with Icelandic horses outside our lounge window. The spa and sauna available to all guests was very much welcomed at the end of the day after touring the Golden circle. A quiet location on the end of a peninsula with great views.

GermanyI was disappointed when we arrived at the apartment as the last stop of our vacation on Island. The apartment definitely needs some renovations, as the walls and ceilings contain scratches and other damage. The bed was used up and I woke up with some back pain. It must have been a great apartment when built, but now it doesn't feel nice anymore and is too expensive for what you get. The neighbors are very close and pass through the terrace and windows.
We got an apartment for 4 people (nr 23) and it was okay for 1 night. It was very clean. The child liked the horses close by and it is only 40 minutes to Kevlavik airport.

The location was beautiful and right on the water with amazing views. The horses on site were a bonus. We utilized the hot tub and the sauna which were a great addition. The room was cozy and comfortable with a lot of local charm.

It's outside of the city which is nice because it's quiet. The scenery around is beautiful. The little village itself is very cool. We enjoyed all the decorations both inside the room and outside. The room was very comfortable, the shower is great, and the blinds work well. The room also was a good temperature throughout the night.

The quaint little village on an inlet. Was very quiet, peaceful and adorable. Loved the little outdoor areas to sit in. And we woke up with horses right outside our back door!
