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 StatesLoved every single moment!
My husband and I were so delighted with our recent relaxing stay at the luxurious Bay View Apartments. It definitely exceeded our expectations! The hosts have done an amazing job with this incredibly well appointed get away. Everything we needed was right at hand. It was well stocked with coffee, tea, cooking spices and wine and champagne were available. The decor, along with the view was gorgeous. There is a well stocked grocery store nearby and the airport is a mere 15 minutes away. There was easy communication with the host who was very friendly and thoughtful. They had the hot tub filled and ready for us upon check-in and even gave us a shout to let us know there were amazing Northern Lights happening one evening. We are already planning our next visit back and cannot recommend it highly enough!

United KingdomWe booked the apartments after a week in a Campervan and it couldn’t have been more perfect for a final night in Iceland! The interior is SO stylish and everything is thought of, from the spices in the kitchen to extra toiletries in the bathroom! Watching the snow come down whilst sat in the hot tub was the icing on the cake.

SwitzerlandThe appartement offers 4 beds but in the living area there is only one couch, no armchairs, that's just not enough. You can't sit around comfortably with three or four grown up people. The second bedroom is also quite small, probably intended more for children. I was also missing the instructions for the heating and the kitchen appliances. But maybe I just didn't search enough, there were so many drawers. :) and we only stayed for a night. And unfortunately - always a knock-out criterion for me - the bed linen had a “flowery, citrusy detergent or fabric softener smell”. I react to artificial fragrances that are too intense with headaches, in the end I used my snowpants as pillow.
This is a luxery appartement and very spacious in most rooms. Of course the hot tub in the bathroom with the window is a very nice feature, which we really enjoyed. The whole set up looks to me like it's best for a cozy couple retreat.... Hot tub, two showers next to each other, mirror in the bedroom, wine and champagne in the kirchen...everything was very "state of the art". And a stunning view! The contact with the owner was very friendly, we had to inform them that we would arrive a day later due to the bad road conditions and they had everything set up for us so that we could just walk in and enjoy. Thank you.

AustriaThe Bay View apartment is a very special place, a big apartment with great style at the sea side. Unforgettable is the sight from the hot tub to the bay, but also the living room and kitchen are simply extraordinary. Gardur is a great base to visit the Reykjanes peninsula and as location nearby the airport. We loved it- and would like to come back!

United StatesIt felt very cold when I arrived. I did not understand the heating system. (my husband knew right away the heat came from the floors- which is a very nice feature. I would have liked an instruction piece of paper on the heat. We also ran out of "cold" water for about a 1/2 hour. But hot water was fine. That was confusing.
The house is stunning. It's even better than the photos. Everything is very organized and the hot tub is such a nice bonus. We appreciated the opportunity to buy wine and also that there were condiments, etc in the house.

The apartment is amazing with a gorgeous view of the ocean. It is beautifully decorated and our wonderful host was not only quick to communicate and offer suggestions but had the hot tub heated for us on arrival. Did I mention the hot tub also has an ocean view. What an amazing place. Wish we could have stayed longer.
