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.).

United StatesHIGHLY RECOMMEND. The location was excellent as a base for traveling northern Iceland and very close to downtown Akureyri. The rocking chair in the kitchen was a comfortable touch. The covered patio was great day and night, rain or shine. I felt like I was staying at a relatives home. The host reached out to make sure everything was OK. All the comforts of home and very comfortable bed. All around an excellent choice.

IsraelIf you want to go by foot to city center, it's a little bit difficult to come back because very hard uphill. But still it,s about 15 min walking
It's 3 room apartment with all you need. The apartment looks like its residents just went away for shopping or something and leave everything. The kitchen is fully equipped including some specs. There is laundry machine. There is piano

United StatesThe lock on the door was a little tricky and took us a while to lock from both the inside and the outside. Other than that, no complaints.
The apartment was very comfortable, an easy walk to to many of Akureyri’s attractions, easy to park, and the host was easy to communicate with.

Czech RepublicWe couldn't figure out how to switch on a few lights and how to make the TV functional, but we didn't really need it.
It was like living in a quite and comfortable home. Everythink we could think of was available, and the old-style living room with a piano was just beautiful. Communication of the landlady was very friendly and helpful. No cleaning was required upon our departure.

New ZealandThe don’t likes are quite lengthy. Bathroom sink did not drain well. Lounge was full of very uncomfortable furniture and not user friendly. The kitchen was old and not particularly clean. The whole place had a lot of stuff that needs to be cleaned out, it looks rather the family have put all their old stuff (furniture, cds, national geographics etc) they don’t know what to do with in here instead of disposing of. The guesthouse has potential but needs work. Very expensive. No instructions provided for recycling, parking or wifi. I would not return. A washing machine should also be provided. After 10 days in Iceland this property was the only one that has let us down.
Shower was hot and had good pressure. Beds were comfortable. Good heating.
