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.).

FinlandThe bathroom was quite old and I am not fan of the shower cubicle. Everything worked fine though.
We stayed only for sleeping due to the tight schedule. The room was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. The common kitchen was big and well equipped. We got very good service when we had to check in late. The view was great!

GermanyCan only rate apartment 5, which was a bit disappointing compared to the photos we saw on booking - a bit drab, old, with a view mostly to the parking space (other apartments are around the corner). Cleanliness acceptable, not too good (beds and bathroom ok, but grease traces on cupboards, doors and switches). Owner quick to respond but said he could not offer alternative.
Location is great, both on the peninsula and right next to the sea

United StatesRooms are a bit like a college dormitory.
Located in a great location right next to the beach in front of Kirkifell. Right across the parking lot is an amazing little restaurant with amazing views and food. Hotel itself is okay. The rooms are basic but clean. You have to leave your shoes in the lobby which we have had to do at other locations as well. The kitchen space is shared by everyone staying there.

CanadaApartment #5 smelled like stale cigarette smoke, and the furnishings were a utilitarian mishmash arranged without any apparent effort to make the place aesthetically pleasing. The kitchen was sparsely stocked with dishes (e.g. only one mug for multiple guests), the poorly installed shower unit leaked onto the floor every time it was used, and several advertised amenities were not present in the unit. Presumably the photographs on Booking.com showing cheerfully painted one-bedroom apartments with art on the walls are of other, nicer units at the same property?
The unit had a great view of Kirkjufjall. Staff were reasonably responsive when we had difficulty figuring out how to lock the exterior door.

United StatesLack of communication. I sent a message about check in and never got a response. I had to call when I was there to check in. No one greeted us. The place was kind of dingy.... Many remnants of previous visitors ( very dirty dishes, pots & pans from previous guests I assume, so we had to wash them before using them.) My biggest complaint was NO coffee!! Make sure you get all you need and want before staying here. There is a coffee maker but was no coffee or lobby that we were made aware of.
The area was nice.

United StatesThe shower was too small. The sheets had an off smell- like when you don’t dry the sheets well and just go ahead and put them on the bed. Breakfast not included.
I liked the location, easy to find and was well equipped. We were literally about 20 feet from the best restaurant in town, Bjargarsteinn Mathús! No staff to check in but they are very responsive. I messaged the guesthouse through this app that I would be arrived after check in and response time was appropriate. The bed was comfy and room a decent size. Has everything you need for one night stop!
