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 StatesParking was a bit difficult to find along the street. There is an odor from the drains in the bathroom. We solved the problem by keeping the bathroom door closed and the windows open.
Great location and very walkable to restaurants, bakery, and stores. Super view from the cute balcony. Spacious bedroom with comfy beds and tables on each side for electronics. Excellent well equipped kitchen, and wonderful shower in the modern bathroom. We loved our stay!

United StatesParking available but not easy to get a spot especially close by. Shades could be darker on the guest room to block out the sun in the middle of the night.

United StatesThis is a great location and the views from the kitchen and living room are lovely. The kitchen is well appointed with a good variety of cookware, which made making a few meals ourselves easy. The living room/dining room is compact but organized such that you can both eat a good meal and watch a movie from the couch easily. The guide the hosts put together about the area was a nice touch. The bedrooms are both comfortable and everything was spotless. When I couldn't figure out where the laundry facilities were, I messaged the hosts and they got right back to me. Best of all was the location - easy to step outside and get to things in downtown, great views of the main (iconic) church, and outside of the zone with the most expensive parking.

United StatesI didn't get as much communication from the property as I would have expected. Also, I would have expected shampoo/conditioner/body was in the bathroom. There was shampoo but soap dispenser was broken.
Apartment was clean, spacious, and in the best location. The beds were very comfortable, and it was easy to control the temperature in the unit. We cooked in the kitchen quite a bit, and it was nicely appointed. Overall, a lovely stay!

United StatesThe pillows are past their prime and need to be replaced. The bed is on the hard side of firm, but that’s fine for us. Everything else was great. We also had the third floor apartment “N” which was a bit of a struggle to get all of our luggage up and down, but manageable.
The location couldn’t be better. It was central to the downtown. Just a block or two from shopping, bus stops, restaurants. The apartment itself is so charming. We loved it and felt so comfortable. All the details were thought of. We loved the balcony and the view of the rooftops in the back. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back. I asked for a late check out and they were able to accommodate us.

The location was excellent for touring Reykjavík. Close to the drop off/pick up for the FlyBus, Hop on Hop Off and taxis. The balcony was a bonus for seeing the Aurora 3 of the 4 nights and the Imagine Peace beam. The owner was very helpful with recommendations. Braud and Co. Cinnamon buns are decadent and the Vitabar on the corner was convenient for a first night meal with the locals. The apartment had everything we needed and the bed/pillows were cosy.

United KingdomThere are no blinds or curtains on the bathroom windows nor the kitchen balcony double doors. In turn this creates privacy issues as the bathroom windows aren't fully frosted and as there is no door on the kitchen so your neighbours can see into the apartment from the back though the balcony doors.
The apartment is located on the next street over from Hallgrimskirkja and so is within 5 minutes walk from the church and Bus stop #8 which makes is extremely convenient for tour pickups. It's also very close to an excellent bakery and within walking distance of the main streets. The apartment itself was nice and came fully equipped with kitchen, lounge and entertainment, plus 2 bedrooms. The temperature in the apartment was always cozy and all the amenities we needed were available. The balcony on the back is also great to have and, thanks to clear weather and a strong solar storm at the time, we were fortunate enough to be able to see the northern lights clearly from it on our last night. Our host, Bjorn, was a star and when we did contact him he was very courteous and helpful.
