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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

BelgiumWhen closing the door of the room, mingle the handle to the top to be sure the room is properly locked. We found once our room open, thankfully we went only to the car and nothing disappeared, but since then we were extra cautious.
Great location, 1 supermarket in a walking distance (3m) and 2 supermarkets (2mins by car) on each side. Walking distance to the restaurants. There is no reception, you will be given a code before your stay. The room was spacious and clean, well equipped (kettle, small fridge), bed was big and comfortable. The bathroom was also big, clean and equipped (towels, hairdryer, shampoo, soap, toilet paper). There is a restaurant on the ground floor, but it's more expensive than restaurants in the center. Parking is right in front of the hotel.

United StatesCheck-in was troublesome, and we had to request several new door codes before we finally got one to work. The apartment is not well stocked, with basics missing from the kitchen (baking pan, sponges, paper towels) and laundry room (detergent, drying rack).
Bella Apartments is very conveniently located within Selfoss, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The apartment itself was very spacious and feels very clean and modern. The beds were very comfortable, even the pull-out couch. We really appreciated the blackout curtains, as we visited during summer, and the heated floors, as it was rather chilly outside.

United StatesAt night, we were too warm and when we opened the windows, they banged in the wind. The kitchen was missing several things: it didn’t have an induction plate to use the induction stove, a spatula or regular coffee maker. The Nespresso machine was nice, but the pods jammed. A regular coffee machine would have been helpful.
The unit had a perfect location, it was beautifully decorated/furnished, nicely appointed, spotlessly clean, with blackout curtains and the beds were very comfortable. Check-in was easy with the self check process. Instructions were communicated beautifully.

United KingdomDistinct smell of drains in the bathroom meant the window had to be open the whole time, which can be pretty cold in Iceland. The code we were given for the front door didn't work, but after calling the number on the phone number posted on the front door we were provided with a working code straight away.
Second time staying here. Excellent apartment with lots of space, great views and comfortable. Being in the middle of Selfoss is a perfect location. You are right next door to a very good bakery, the is a supermarket across the street and there are a numerous excellent restaurants very close by.

United StatesThe checkin process was NOT good. The code emailed to us in advance didn't work, requiring us to stand outside in the cold to call the help desk. Once inside the lobby, the code given for our room didn't work, requiring another extensive phone conversation. After a long day of travel, this should NOT happen. The code emailed in advance should be checked and instructions clear. Also, it shouldn't be presumed that everyone has phone access. There should be another way to receive help (perhaps an emergency phone installed). Also, the high tech appliances need simple instructions posted on how to use.

United KingdomThere was a really awful smell of drains which hits you as soon as you enter (not the usual sulphur smell from the water) and it is particularly bad in the bathroom. We had to leave a window open the whole time as it was so strong. Shame as the apartment is otherwise really good so hopefully it can be fixed.
Great apartment, loads of space, well equipped and very clean

TaiwanThe floor isn't very clean I saw some dust on the ground. If guests decide to stay here, highly recommend to prepare enough amenity with you. They don't provide toiletries, garbage bags, laundry detergent.... They provide half roll of toilet paper which is not enough for three of us staying two days.
Nice Location. Not far to get ourist attractions. The kitchen is very big and we enjoy the time cooking ourselves. We firstly failed to enter the hotel due to the problem of the system, but the staff quickly help to solve problems.

United StatesCheck in was not super smooth. It looked at the time that we were not the only ones having a bit of an issue. The check codes were not sent to me until after our reservation. There were staff available on the phone.
Good location and really close to a lovely bakery. We highly recommend the bakery that’s about 20 steps away. The on-site restaurant is also fantastic.
