Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThe location is just right in front of the rainbow road with a gorgeous view of the church. Everything is accessible. However, being in the vicinity of one of Reykjavík’s best attractions, the place can get noisy. Apart from that, it’s a very clean, spacious and cozy apartment.

United StatesThis was the perfect room style for our family of 4. It was 4 blocks to bus stop #8 which was the pick up location for our tour. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that our room was ready at 8:30 AM on our arrival day. We had intended to just leave our luggage at the reception, but the early check-in made for a great start to our trip.

United StatesWe loved the apartment for our family of 4. The beds were comfortable and we were really happy to have 2 pillows for each person. The location was perfect - close to restaurants and shopping. We also had a car one night and were able to park nearby.

CanadaNoise from floor above! I know it’s an old building. If this doesn’t bother you (you are used to living in apartments), you will love this place. I was not. People were stomping and kids jumping on top of us. We were on the second floor in 502. If we stay again, I will ask to stay on the top floor apartments. 601 and 602, assuming they also have a two bedroom apartment. No bar of soap for the shower and the paper goods were horrible. They used the cheapest toilet paper and Kleenex ever. Such a small thing made a difference. Please upgrade paper products, Odinsve! It is smelly like the other reviewers said but that is from the geothermal heating. When you drive around the country, the steam from natural hot springs smells the same. We just kept the bathroom door closed all the time and it helped. Until you had to use the bathroom. Ha.
Cool location right on the Rainbow Road! Great for people watching. Very large room. Nice size, two bedrooms. Was such a neat area to stay in. Beds were comfy! Duvets were amazing. Loved having access to hotel staff even though we were a couple blocks away at the apartment. Loved that is was super warm (lots of radiators) but also tonnes of windows to open for fresh Icelandic air.

United KingdomApartment 7 in town centre - water pipes very smelly. Website cites Airport transfers available however this is not a free service provided by hotel. They will (and did very helpfully book taxi’s for us) for which we were most appreciative. Hotel advised us that they have asked Booking.com to remove this from their hotel advert but that Booking.com has not done so.

AustraliaNothing, but a coffee machine would be a nice/useful addition to the kitchen facilities.
Centrally located with plenty of dining and shopping options at the doorstep. Nice, clean well-maintained apartment with a well-equipped kitchen. Staff at the hotel reception (which is in a separate building, 5 min walk from the apartments) were very welcoming and helpful with all our queries. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Czech RepublicI didn't like that they are trying to scam tourists at the hotel with taxis. I understand it's all part of the tourism industry but be careful. You really don't need a taxi to get anywhere around reykijavik everything is walkable, no one is gonna mug you, everyone speaks English. Back to the taxi experience we came, the guy said if we have a ride back to the airport the next day and I said not yet. He then replied emphasizing to get taxi that it's the same price as the flybus. And I asked him like 3 times what the price was and he wouldn't give it. At 3rd try he said it's 180 euro. Which would mean around 20 euro more per person to get to the airport than the bus and he tried me and said it's too far the bus stop. Even though we just came from there and managed to get to the hotel just fine and actually going back it took us only 10 minutes. So be careful I think they try to do this in every hotel. Otherwise nice place
It was the best location!!! We booked a Flybus from airport and arrived at the regular bus station in Reykijavik I think BSI it's called. We walked for 15 minutes with 20kg luggage in snow and we managed just fine. It was located right in the center and they even gave us a much earlier check in at 9:50am which was so nice because we flew in at 4am. I recommend it and it was nice and clean!

United StatesThe bed went from one wall to the other wall, with ZERO spacing. I'm tall, so I had to sleep sideways. But, if a couple with one of them over 6'2", like me, you may have some discomfort not stretching out straight comfortably
There was a no-lift apartment i rented for three nights. As a senior, I needed assistance to get my luggage up the stairs. No problem. The staff was very helpful and courteous.
