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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 KingdomApartment is about 20 mins walk to centre OK in summer less so in winter however parking is easy to find in the centre (download Parka app to pay).
Large one bedroom apartment, big bathroom with large shower, washing machine and separate tumble dryer. Very clean and modern. Beds comfortable. Parking space included. You can access the apartment on arrival with your luggage directly from the underground car park (take the door labelled Stigahus from the garage and then the lift up). You need to retrieve the key fob from the key safe on arrival to activate the garage door/access the block. Ramp to car park is next to the Euro market shop. Communication is excellent from host. We had a great stay. Top tip if you are travelling in winter take ice grips for your boots.

United StatesThe only improvement I would suggest has to do with communication. We were not given instructions on how to enter (or even the apartment number) until we arrived. I had to call for this information. After that the owner was very responsive and easy to deal with. Also the address was wrong (4A not 4b)
Apartment was clean, spacious and well appointed.

United StatesProbably better to use the address of the garage rather than the actual building address to make it easier to be spotted - the actual entrance is easier to access from the garage location.
The location is close to everything. The apt has decent size and utilities. Just a bit confused tofu d the building.

DenmarkFantastic location. Large, clean, well equipped and comfortable apartment. We were a family of 5. Short walk to the water where you can walk into town and see the sights. Met with the owner by chance at the end of our stay who was very friendly and kind. The free underground parking with direct lift to the apartment was a plus as it was paid parking on the street. Perfect if you want to hire a car and see sights outside of Reykjavík. Big budget supermarket one street away (called bonus) and small supermarket in the same apartment building if you need a cold drink. The beds were very comfortable, the main bedroom had a memory foam mattress and ergonomic pillows so we slept very well. There are 3 bedrooms with double beds. The kitchen is well equipped and clean and had basic amenities such as dish washer tablets, salt and pepper etc. There was a large television that you can stream content from your telephone and there is good Wi-Fi available. Would highly recommend staying at the apartment.

United StatesOur host was incredibly kind and accommodating. Despite arriving early, he met us promptly and graciously stored our luggage, allowing us to start exploring right away. The location couldn't have been better—central and close to everything we wanted to see. The place itself was spacious and perfect for our larger group, with a full kitchen and a comfortable living room. It made our stay both convenient and comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great place to stay in a prime location!

United StatesThe process of getting into the unit was a nightmare for me. Granted, my friend and I had just driven 8 hours through ice and snow in what was an unexpected June blizzard (yes, apparently that can happen-half the country’s ring road was closed for days!). I got to the apartment building and retrieved the key but didn’t have enough information about how to get past the initial security door. I suddenly realized to my dismay that the owner had left no contact number so I had no way to contact him. Eventually one of the residents of the building came in and showed me. They were not nice about it (probably annoyed with tourists). Likewise, the door to the unit itself had somewhat confusing instructions. Everywhere else in Iceland we had to wiggle the door handle and so I misunderstood the directions and couldn’t get in. The whole process took over an hour!
This apartment offers tremendous value for the right customer. It is in a real apartment building where locals live. Quality building and beautiful apartment. I even saw a peek of the water from the smaller bedroom window. It is away from the noise of the main tourist streets but still very convenient. My travel companion stayed right in the middle of the tourist area and could barely sleep for all the noise. I booked this apartment so we could put the rental car in the garage. It was lass than 10 minutes to walk to the main tourist sites, and a fun food hall was only a five minute walk. The apartment exceeded my expectations. Nice big rooms and modern bathroom with a washer/dryer. The decor was modern without much in the way of art,but I really ended up loving it. This was the last of 10 accommodations for this trip and one of my favorites.
