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 reviewStarting with the positiv aspects of this apartment. Its interior is so nicely designed and gives of a really nice cozy modern vibe. All needed amenities exist and work great except one but more later. The contact with the host is easy. Now to the not so amusing stuff. It seemed like it hasn’t been cleaned for some time and definitely not after their last visitors. The bed wasn’t made and it really didn’t seem like the bedsheets were changes since the last visitors. Their were stains on the pillow cases and on the bed sheet. Not quite appealing. Another point is, the amount of people able staying there. We booked for four people but there was only a single bed and a couch not nearly big enough for two people. And now to the washing machine. Note: never turn on this washing machine when you are at home. This washing machine is indescribable loud. It is comparable with a helicopter flighting by. When we tried stopping it it didn’t work so we couldn’t sleep probably. And last the most disgusting point. As we opened the organic waste bin, there was a rotten and already extremely banana and other food wastes in there. I hope this was just unfortunate incident, because other than our problems we had with the apartment it has a lot of potential.
Hey Lukas, It saddens me to hear about your experience of my apartment. It has been my focus to offer an accommodation that upholds the standard I expect when I travel. I extend my deepest apologies. At the time before your stay, my caretaker was sick, as was I, and I scrambled to find someone to prepare the apartment - last minute. Sadly that affected your stay. I hope that the rest of your travels were enjoyable and you enjoyed your stay in Iceland. If you are travelling again or anyone that you know are travelling in Iceland - please get in touch - I would like like to make this up to you and offer you the true standard that I uphold. Thanks for your review

Verified reviewGreat use of a small space, very mice views all around & was very comfortable.
The building looked dilapidated on the outside, to the point that we thought surely we were at the wrong address.
Hey Heydi, I am happy you enjoyed my apartment and the views that surround it. The condition of the house on the outside is in the works, I have been working on rebuilding this house, it’s from 1930, and the outside is the last push to get it ready! Have a safe trip around Iceland 😎

Verified reviewSo clean and comfortable. Cooked a nice dinner and relaxed after walking around the town. The kitchen had all the basics. The skylights are fun and allowed us to see small/mild northern lights on the night we stayed. Town is small so we could walk all around easily from this apartment. Loved seeing the school children heading out for a hike past the door in the morning.
We were fine with the stairs to the third floor but they are no joke. They are metal and steep. We grabbed a small bag of clothes and food from the car. If you have a large suitcase it could be tricky.
Thank you for very kind words about my accommodation! I do hope you visit again. Siglufjörður is a unique and special town. Ps, the skylight windows where made for the hope guests would see the aurora from them.

Verified reviewThe location is excellent and it was very serene. Views of the ocean and mountain are amazing and you can pick from the multiple skylights and glass in the main door. The bed and sofa bed were very comfortable. The host and his family were very friendly and helpful.
Thank you for your constructive feed-back. I am always looking for ways to improve my accommodation. These things will be put into motion right away. I hope you enjoy the rest of your travel.

Verified reviewComes with all the creature comforts. Nicely decorated. Home away from home.
Our stay was lovely, and very much enjoyed. Just a couple ideas for improvement... The front door was very tricky to lock, might need some attention? There was laundry drying next to front door and the softener smell was overwhelming - not the nicest thing to walk into after a long day. Would be great to have a curtain for the bedroom to block out light from loungeroom windows. Would also be excellent to have a blind for front door for more privacy. Some extra bed pillows would be amazing.

Need blackout blinds over all potential sleeping areas. The outside does not reflect the quality of the interior.
