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.).

The location was excellent and the host was very friendly and helpful. Use of laundry was a bonus and gave us a late check out.

AustriaThe apartment was not well cleaned when we arrived. For example, most of the cutlery had been put into the drawer dirty. We understand that the approach is that everyone cleans before leaving, but this needs to be double checked.
Our apartment offered lots of space and could easily accommodate 4 people. It's located in downtown Reykjavik in walking distance to all major attractions, e..g. less than 5 minutes from Hallgrímskirkja. No need to use the car.

Comfortable bed, location, location, location. You really can't get a better location. Warm shower with good pressure.

GreeceI should comment that if staying in ground floor and want to sleep late, (not in our case) maybe not the best choice, as it is in the level of the street.
The location is perfect for walking around Reykjavik's all sights! Anything you need in walking distance! Bakery , super market, parking. The apartment is spacious and well equipped (for two couples ).Everything was easy and perfect in our stay. Would stay there again. Recommended.

United StatesThe address 14a was a little confusing. Out taxi driver pointed us at building 14 and said it would be there somewhere. In fact, 14a is a different building with metal siding which is well documented by the host in his instruction. We were just confused for a couple minutes.
We enjoyed it, excellent communication with the host, and convenient location and host offered temporary storage of our bags for a couple hours after we checked out before our taxi and flight home. We used the time for a lunch and shopping.

United StatesWe had a great stay at this apartment. It's very convenient, right at the city centre. Everything within walking distance, including a Bonus supermarket 3-4 blocks away. The apartment is well maintained. We slept 4. Two adults in bed and two kids in the sofa-bed. Sufficient, but tight. It's a basement apartment with windows to the street (feet) level, so less privacy if blinds open, but not inconvenient for us as we were on the move anyway. The host was very responsive and flexible. We were offered to check-in 2h before the standard check-in time, which we really appreciated. Check-in and check-out was very easy (key box). Street parking was easy to find in the streets around, but it can be expensive if choosing P1 zone. Cheaper P2 zones are close by too, but it's not straightforward to navigate for newcomers. We would definitely come back.

United KingdomNothing!
Space with separate bedroom, plenty of room in living area for dining table and separate lounging area. You could choose to leave bed settee open all day if you wanted and it would have still felt v spacious. Plenty equipment in kitchen along with basic cleaning and cooking ingredients. The coffee machine was loved by my friend! Please note that the bed settee could be shared by 2 people but, as a short, but fuller figured person, I wouldn't recommend the 2 people were fuller figured or very tall as it's def not regular bed dimensions. Our host was very helpful and accommodated us for an extra night when our flights got changed. Communication with our host about a few other things was excellent with quick responses and one small replacement done within the hour. I booked because I knew the city centre so location was brilliant for bus pick ups, supermarket and in general for exploring the city.

United KingdomAs with any good city location I suppose, there was traffic noise and people chatting and walking past early from the street and refuse collection early morning on the first morning of our stay and we hadn't slept well (not that it could be helped).
Great location, just a few minutes walk from the stunning Hallgrimskirkja Church and bus stop 8. Lovely bakery next door, fast food shop 2 doors down and ice cream shop/ restaurants very close by. Good facilities, clean appartment and quick communications with the owners.
