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 StatesSee above.
The apartment is in a historic schoolhouse building from the early 1900s and has a lot of character and charm. It was large, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The decorations were lovely. The kitchen, living areas, and bedrooms were huge and the host thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with everything you might need. The neighborhood is very quiet and the beds were perfect. We also appreciated the fresh flowers in the hallways and entrance hall of the building. We learned that Husavik is a "hot" area where the homes are heated with geothermal water. Accordingly, and when you are taking a shower--you can smell a strong sulfur or "rotten eggs" odor. It is safe to drink. However, and while we only smelled it in the bathroom--it was very strong. Personally, I think the host of this property should put a note of explanation in the welcoming paperwork to remind and reassure guests that this is normal and not a problem.

United StatesI should have paid more attention to past visitors' comments on how steep the stairs are. They can be tricky if you are carrying a lot of bags or aren't in great shape. And there could have been brighter lights (something we find is an issue at just about every place we visit). Note that we visited the apartment during Iceland's winter, so it was dark outside 18 hours a day.
The apartment is clean and well-located. It has a fully equipped kitchen and comes with bed linens. There's a TV you can use to connect to your subscribed services.

"Wow" place!! It is a former primary school from 1900, restored. The apartment was superb! Well equipped, all you needed was there and we felt better than at home :) A friend of mine loved the couch and the blanket so much that she slept there all night (and later bought the same blanket). Very cozy and comfortable place :) we do recommend staying there!
