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 StatesThere wasn't anything I did not like about this property.
The apt is centrally location, clean, spacious and had all necessary items. It faces the interior courtyard so it was very quiet as well. The hosts were quick to answer any questions.

United StatesMy only complaint would be the cushions on outdoor patio were moldy and wet due to being left outside. I removed them and so enjoyed sitting out on the beautiful little patio. The outdoor sitting area was probably the main reason I chose this rental. I love sitting out in morning having coffee or evening having a cocktail. Get new cushions and keep them indoors when not in use. Bed was great, so was kitchen. No issues accessing space.
Location was perfect for walking to everything in city center, down to the waterfront, hallsgrimkirkja, etc

United StatesThe apartment is on the ground floor and opens out to the shared courtyard. The doorknob/lock on the patio door needs repair, so that was a bit concerning.
The apartment is in a very convenient location in the center of Reykjavik. It is large apartment. The kitchen is very well equipped with every utensil we needed and more. The owner - Jon - responds quickly to questions via WhatsApp. I appreciated that Jon stocked the apartment with a large bag of coffee pods. Not many apartment owners do that. The apartment is within close walking distance from grocery stores and bakery. We were able to walk from the apartment to the port for a puffin tour. The Perlan Museum is a bit farther, but we were able to walk to and from with no problem.

FinlandHonestly there were no issues, only thing was learning how to open the front door and the gate, which turn to different direction than we were used to. I was really surprised of how good the place was considering the price, location, and short notice we were reserving it (a bit more than a week prior).
The place had been prepared to look inviting, instructions were clear, and contacting the host was easy and they responded quickly to questions. Place had all the amenities mentioned and then some.

AustraliaRemember your eyemask if travelling in summer, as blind only partially effective, and bedroom remains light while sun is up.
Well positioned and furnished apartment, central and close to shops and restaurants, but quiet and secure. Spacious one bedroom apartment, comfy bed and large living room and kitchen, with great bathroom and washer/dryer. Great communication with host, and was easy to access. Would definitely stay again.

United StatesCouldn't find the thermostat to regulate the temps so cracked the window a bit to cool the place down. I'd suggest having a fan available. Another bedside end table is needed on the left side of the bed. My partner used one of the table chairs to compensate.
Quick communication and assistance from owner John. (I misread the location of the lockbox to be inside the entrance foyer even though John's instructions clearly said it was on the "patio". All good after that.) Kitchen of my dreams! Streamlined, clean, stocked with coffee pods, tea bags, ramen soups, and all the essentials, it was absolutely perfect! The BEST showerhead in the world! The quietest of courtyards! It always felt safe and inviting. Free overnight parking was found a few blocks up the road behind the Hallgrimskirkja church. It gets super crowded between 8a-8p but during the evening we found plenty of spots.

United StatesMy flight leaving was late in the day so I requested a late checkout. Unfortunately, the owner could not accommodate me because they had new guest coming in. One thing I did not consider, was that I had no place to store my luggage while waiting for an appropriate time to go to the airport. We ended up going to the airport very early. I am now warned for the future and will use this to help decide between a hotel or vacation rental.
Going with a vacation rental instead of a hotel is a bit of a gamble because you can't be sure about the quality of the lodging. In this case is was outstanding. Spacious, centrally located, but quiet. The apartment is well appointed.
