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.).

AustraliaAs we were self-catering, I would have loved a few more kitchen implements and sharper knives. The saucepans and lids did not match, which I found very strange.
This is a fabulous apartment with wonderful views of the harbour and within easy walking to the buzzy centre of town. It was great to be able to park and to have an elevator to transfer luggage and shopping. Check in was easy.

United KingdomIf you're not used to parking in tight spots and/or come with a larger rental vehicle it could be a bit tricky. Our spot was located underneath the stairwell (the most awkward spot) so spatially constrained as the stairs ate into the space at the front. (other spots are available depending on room number so maybe we pulled the short straw). There was a bit of noise, the road is quite busy and some of the neighbors were playing loud music in the evenings (not ideal when sending young kids to bed), but maybe this was exaggerated as we had arrived from a couple of days of peace and quiet in rural Iceland. Some complimentary cooking oil would have been appreciated as it seems an unnecessary cost for just a few days stay.
The apartment was a very good and comfortable size for us (a young family) and comes with a great view of the old harbour. The kitchen came with the necessary cooking equipment and utensils. The area has some good restaurants and is about 20-25min walk to downtown Reykjavik. Private parking in the basement is available, but potentially a bit of a squeeze, especially if you have a big vehicle.

United KingdomI liked everything. There was nothing to dislike
We stayed in apartment 404. Your first impression is how warm and cosy the apartment was as you opened the door. When we opened the inside door, our eyes were drawn immediately to the view from the sitting room window. Wow, fantastic view of the harbour. The balcony was excellent as it gave you shelter from the wind and snow as you could then sit out and take in the view.The kitchen was well equipped, and in the bathroom was a large shower area and a washing machine and tumble dryer. The bedroom was large with plenty of storage and a very comfy bed. There was nothing to dislike at all. Fantastic apartment. All extras had been provided so we did not need to buy dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid ,liquid soap or detergent for the washing machine to wash our clothes. There was even shampoo and conditioner and a hairdryer available if you had not brought your own. The tap water is safe to drink and is cold and tasty. I usually drink sparkling flavoured water at home but couldn't believe how lovely the tap water was in Iceland . Fantastic apartment which was close to everything while providing you with a beautiful outlook. If you go to the left of the apartments you will find 2 supermarkets - bonus and kronan. Both excellent. You will also find Elko which will help you with any electronic needs you have. There is also flyover Iceland, whales of Iceland and many more areas of interest and things to do. If you go right from the apartments you find yourself in the busy shops etc of Reykjavik within 5 minutes walk. Excellent position for the apartments. The manager, Dilja, was a fantastic help and available throughout our holiday. We were given directions to the Elko store when we were looking for a new phone cable. Any time I texted through WhatsApp I received an answer within minutes. First class customer service. Could not have had as stress free a time without the help of Dilja.

AustraliaBathroom could have been a little bigger but we easily managed - had storage for all our toiletries.
This is a superb apartment with all the modern comforts. It is large, airy and light with a great kitchen and very comfy beds. Great location - walking distance to all the main sites in Reykjavik and to a great range of restaurants from cheap to more luxurious. Our apartment had the harbour view and it was so peaceful and beautiful to watch the old harbour from our window. It was also an easy pick up spot for taxis. Highly recommend.
