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 KingdomThere wasn’t enough places to hang things, we came in January so lots of coats and jumpers that needed to hang, often to dry and we struggled to do this. Also, 2 single beds rather than 1 double wasn’t great and when pushed together they would slip apart.
It was cosy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was great, and everything was clean when we arrived. The location was great and we had a really lovely view, it was only a 15 minute walk into the old town so it was easy to get to places!

United KingdomThe towels provided could have been bigger, they were very small, even for the teenagers. However the staff provided us with extra towels.
The keys were left in the property for our arrival. The view from the balcony and hot tub was amazing. It was all very clean. There were 2 adults and 2 teenagers and there was plenty of storage space.

United KingdomThere was nothing we disliked. The only thing which would have made it better is if there had been a sofa or comfy chair to relax on as the chairs were all dining chairs.
Love the location of this place, overlooking Akureyri with great views from the balcony. Love the hot tub and the ease of use. The bed was comfy and we had all we needed. We have stayed here before and would be very happy to return again.

GermanyThe apartment could have a few more power outlets or at least provide an extension cord - I had to move the table in order to be able to work on my laptop while charging it.
The hot tub is great. The apartment itself is also very comfortable. I didn't use the kitchenette but it looked very useful. Everything was arranged remotely, so I didn't interact with any staff. There is no breakfast but several good cafes are a short walk away (10-15 minutes).

United Statesthe hot water has a sulfur smell, bit that's common all over the island, and the dryer was a little tricky, but overall, it's a wonderful property, and would highly recommend
the 3 bedroom apartment was spacious and comfortable for 4 adults. everything was clean and efficient. the 1 bathroom worked for our group. the washer worked well, but we struggled trying to figure out the dryer, but thankfully, the drying rack in the entry closet worked well. we loved the heated floors throughout. the views were great and we had easy access to everything nearby (short drives). plus there was an empty field across the street that was dark enough time view the northern lights!

United StatesRooms at the ends of the four-unit blocks are best, because you will hear your neighbors -- particularly when you're outside; you are all close to each other. Towels are thin. There is no greeting at check-in, but that's the way things are going.
The view of the water is gorgeous. Easy walk into the downtown. Large balcony. Decent kitchen. Quiet, mostly. Good bed.

CroatiaThere was a mix up with bookings that day and our appartment was already occupied when we got there. We had to wait for another appartment to be prepared for us. Fortunately we came earlier than planned and there was a free apartment available. Otherwise don’t know how they would handle the situation. Water is leaking from the shower cabin during showering.
Well equipped apartment, cosy bed.

Switzerlandbetter blind to block the lights in summer will be nice to have. bed side only has one night stand. clothes bed need to be pulled down by sacrificing the space of eating table and chairs. but doable
the bathroom and entrance has a good level of heating, so that on a raining wet day, we can dry our jackets , boots overnight, and as well the swimming suits, but need to put them flat on the floor, since the heating is from the floor. hot tun super cool! but the view is partially blocked, but imagine would be nicer in a winter nights with aurora compare to summer

PolandThe place is very hotel-like, so everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided, but in a basic version. A nice thing was the dishwasher and a supply of tablets. I didn't expect the terrace to have so great view! The place has efficient heating and also the windows on the sunny side so it can get very warm, but when you want to open the windows a bit of flies fly in, but this is a specific of all the area. Generally - we would rent again and I recommend for rental.
