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.).

New ZealandOne room heard the noise from the bar below until midnight and the smell of smoke. Our apartment was up some steep steps without a lift which was difficult for carrying our luggage.
The reception staff were very helpful and willing to store our bags before our check in and after our check out. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable.

United StatesOutdoor seating to bar was right outside our window. It didn’t bother us since we’re used to city noise, but if you’re looking for a quiet place this will not be it. Also the bathroom emitted smells which was not pleasant.
Apt 702 - very clean and close to local attractions. I liked the apartment feel vs hotel for a more relaxed stay. We were on the 2nd floor of the walk up. Had dish-ware, fridge, instant coffee, water heater, and 2 burners. I liked that one bedroom had two twins for my kids.

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.

TurkeyWe originally booked the accommodation without the option to cancel for a trip planned for four people. However, due to changes in our travel plans and the number of people, we were able to modify the reservation date through Booking. Upon arrival, we learned that the apartment we rented was on a different street. The place we stayed was right above Rainbow Street, which is a great location. You can park your car at P2 or P3 and easily reach the apartment. The flat was a 2+1 apartment located on the 2nd floor with no elevator. It had a bathtub, and the bathroom was quite spacious. There were power outlets next to the beds, and the sofa was very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with various small appliances, making it easy to cook meals. It’s a spacious apartment that can comfortably accommodate four people.

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.
