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 StatesHad I known I’d be on the third floor with no elevator I would have asked for a lower floor. It was the end of a three week trip and my luggage was heavy. The bedroom had a balcony/fire escape but it was not possible to open the window to get to it. It would have been nice to have a little laundry soap available in the laundry room.
The host was easy to work with. Gave timely info and responded quickly when I had questions The location was a short walk from the #11 bus and and easy walk to many good stores and restaurants. Also there was a nice laundry room available.

United StatesNo complaints! We would stay again.
Well-stocked kitchen with plates, mugs, kettle, teas, pots, utensils, etc. I enjoyed the towel warmer in the bathroom very much, along with the hot shower. Bedroom was comfortable, with crisp clean bedding and plenty of natural light. Excellent location and reasonably priced.

AustriaNice clean apartment, balcony, a little back from the road. Very central, walked all through Reykjavik center. No parking lot pertinent to apartment, but parking is easy to find on the street. I received very concise instructions per booking.com and email in advance. Fridge available, cooking is possible. I stayed only for a night, but it is spacey enough for a longer stay.

Though the apartment has great advantage of location the upkeep is not adequate.Interiors are old and some of them do not function properly. Handshower does not work. TV says cable signal not present ! Since it is unmanned it is not possible to easily complain and get it fixed..there were no cleaning staff through out our 3 N stay

ChinaObviously requires revocation. Ceiling was peeling, the rugs were very dirty. The rooms were very dirty, hair everywhere, even curl of hair in the towels!!!! All the surface/ counters are dirty, I wiped before I can use the place. Dust, biscuits crumbs... Bad security (they sent you the passcode of the front door but actually the door isn't locked) and very noisy (extremely poor sound proof). And you will never be able to reach the property for help. One-way communication...
The location is good. 3-5 min from the bus stop, 2 min to the Main Street and walking distance to the tourist spots. But since Reykjavik is very convenient, and you are always picked up and dropped off by your coaches, you don't really have to live in the centre given the price and quality of this property.
