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 KingdomVery good location with nice view over the river and close to shops and restaurants in Selfoss (highly recommend visiting the Old Dairy Food Hall - Mjólkurbúið Mathöll) and good starting point for Golden Circle attractions (as it was for us). The apartment was spacious and clean, the kitchen was well equipped if you wanted to cook for yourself and the bathroom had a washing machine and a dryer. Kristin (our host) welcomed us, was very helpful (even offered us to alert if there are Northern Lights out there). Shame we only stayed there one night...

Great stay, I will 100% stay here again. View is great and the location is perfect. My wife is picky and demands cleanliness, and this was a welcome surprise to see how clean and well maintained the property looked.

AustraliaThe apartment is located very close to the city centre. Plenty of shops nearby. The view of the river is stunning. The apartment includes a washer and a dryer and it could come in handy if you need to do some washing or if you plan to stay for a longer period. Also the host Kristín was very nice and helpful. We'll definitely stay here again when we come back to Selfoss.

It was a last minute booking due to an Airbnb disaster. We were pleasantly surprised. The host was very helpful in making sure we got into the apartment safely. She even took the time to set up the washer and dryer for us at 11:00 at night. The apartment is clean. The beds are comfortable.

DenmarkNot much could have been any better!
We checked in by use of the key locker exactly as described. The owner lives in the above apartment in the house and came by shortly after we arrived to say hello. The apartment we got in the lower part of the house was very well equipped, clean and even with washing machine and a dryer, which we used. River apartments is located right across the bridge from main part of Selfoss leaving you a view from the apartment to the city with the river in front. We can recommend to visit the food hall Mjölkurbu if you are not up for cooking in the apartment. We had a very nice stay!
