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 stove was a bit fussy and we could have used a larger pot for pasta. It is on the 4th floor with stair access only, but we enjoyed being on the top floor. Other than that, everything was great.
This apartment is in central Reykjavik in an ideal location. It's equipped with a full kitchen and walking distance to downtown restaurants and the BMI bus station for tours.To save on dining, we shopped at the local Bonus and prepared meals in the kitchen. A small balcony offers views of the central church. There is also an excellent Thai restaurant just below who provided us with keys and has good food options. Overall, this is one of the better options for couples and very affordable for Reykjavik.

United StatesThe location can’t be beat. From the window you can see the church and the rainbow street. It was very spacious. My husband and I both agreed it was the best place we’ve ever stayed. As soon as we walked in the apartment we both said “I wish we were here longer.” Would definitely stay again.

SingaporeYou have to be fit to navigate the stairs from the 1st level to either the 2nd, 3rd or 4th level. We did the 4th level, now we’re even fitter! If you are driving, you’ll have to be patient with finding a parking lot.
Nothing beats this location! Very close and within walking distance to most of the wonderful eateries, bakeries and shops. The apartment was cozy and spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped and a small balcony with the view of Hallgrímskirkja was a bonus. The living view room window view of the street below was nice too. We had a great 2 nights’ stay here!

The apartment was well equipped with kitchen equipment and toiletries. Beds were very comfortable and the room was light and bright with views down to the sea and over the street. We enjoyed being in walking distance of the older and newer areas of Reykjavík and found a lovely bakery round the corner for breakfast! Thank you for a lovely stay!

CanadaLocation was wonderful in the heart of downtown Reykjavik. It is above a Thai restaurant we picked up the key from the cashier inside the restaurant. Our room was on the highest floor and we had to carry our luggage up the narrow stairs. We parked near the church where there was free parking, and when we returned in the evening, there was free parking on the street as it was after hours. The rooms were clean and wifi was strong. The balcony had a great view of downtown and the church. The water smelled like suphur. Amazing value for the price we paid.

ItalyIt was perfect
This apartment is just great. It is located in the center on the main street, and parking is close. The apartment is on the third floor without elevator, but it was not an issue for us. The apartment is large and clean, and the kitchen is well furnished: fridge, toaster, microwave, kettle and coffe maker; coffee, instant coffe were preovided. The bathroom is very large with a beautiful shower. Check-in instructions are not clear: you have to enter the Thai restaurant and ask them. I got this information from the reviews and not from the property.

United StatesCheck-in was a little hectic- I received the email with specific check-in instructions/lockbox code quite a bit in advance of my trip and subsequently lost the email. That was on me, however, there was no one around to help with check-in and eventually I had to borrow a local storekeeper's phone to call the owner who, rather gruffly, repeated the key code. I would have appreciated a follow-up from the host closer to my trip. Instructions on booking could have also used some pictures and more specific directions- I had trouble finding the front door as well as the back door with the lockbox.
Beautiful and spacious apartment in a gorgeous location- right down the street from the church and in a good location. The view from the balcony is great! Everything was clean and orderly.

United StatesThe only thing that would make it better would be a few more kitchen utensils, like a spatula.
We picked up our keys from a restaurant less than one minute walk away. Picking up keys was very easy and checkout was easy as well. The place had a spacious living room area and dining room. Blackout curtains in room were helpful. The bathroom was a decent size and beds were comfortable. Place had a full size refrigerator, tea kettle and other items. The surrounding area was cute as well. We did street parking for the car which wasn't a big issue due to the time of day we came and left. Just a note that we had to climb stairs to get to our room on the second floor, which wasn't a problem for us as we don't have mobility issues and packed light. Would definitely stay at again.
