How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe 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.
One 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.
Thanks for the review Lynne, we really appreciate it!

Verified reviewCentral location. Spacey living room. Close to activities and restaurants.
Front desk staff attitude. Being totally unhelpful and snobby. The young man with dark hair at front desk needs to go back to customer service training.
Dear Oksana, we apologise that you had a bad experience with our staff, we will look into this matter.

Verified reviewGreat location and convenient. Friendly staff.
While the 2 bedroom apartment was spacious, the bedrooms were cramped and very stuffy. One of them smelled like smelly feet the minute the window was closed. I understand the weather doesn’t necessitate it but a ceiling fan to keep air flowing in the bedrooms would be helpful. The mattresses were springy, noisy and uncomfortable. I was also not aware there was no elevator in the particular building we were in so we had to lug up several heavy suitcases up 3 flights of stairs.
Dear Jacklyn, thank you for your review and suggestions how to improve, we appreciate it. Unfortunatelly none of our apartment buildings have elevators. Best regards, Hotel Staff

Verified reviewHotel was centrally located.
Our room for 3 was in the apartments across the way. We had apartment 901 and it was 4 stories up with no elevator. The front desk accommodated us by bringing our luggage up to our room and down when we checked out. We were older women and walking up 4 flights of stairs was a little difficult. We arranged it so we only went down once a day and up once a day. Anything else was difficult!
Dear Lori, thank you for the review. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions. Please keep in mind we do not advertise having an elevator, so expect to have to walk a few flights when booking our apartments. Best regards, Hotel Staff

Located above a bar and too noisy, even with windows closed. No car parking. Very basic kitchen facilities and stinky bathroom (although that may be a common thing in Reykjavík)
Dear Megan, thank you for the review. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions. If it was a sulphuric smell in the bathroom, that's normal as it comes from our water. If it was something else, please let the reception know during your stay and we can have a look at it. Best regards, Hotel Staff

Verified reviewThe location was very good, and the apartment was clean. The bed was comfy, which is always nice. The shower was also very nice and the heating worked well.
The kitchen facilities were extremely basic, with only a microwave and 2 hob worktop stove. The property is advertised as having a kitchen, which we do not feel is completely accurate as there was no oven and the saucepan was so large that we could only use one hob at a time.

Verified reviewApt 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.
Outdoor 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.
