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.).

GermanyNichts.
The apartment is on the main street of the city, close to the harbour, lots of restaurants,... Although it has no parking place, it is not a problem to park in front of the harbour (for free). The apartment has everything necessary for cooking and a washing machine, really important after one week on the road. The sofa-bed was also comfortable. One thing was really nice: there were coffee capsules, tee, olive oil, salt, black pepper, soap for the washing machine available. So, we didn't have to buy all these stuff. It was great!

IcelandSince I knew that the apartment was in the center of Akureyri, I expected to experience noise in the apartment from the nearby streets, but I did not expect that it could be heard so well through the closed window of the bedroom. Didn't sleep well because of the noise of people walking and shouting while walking to and from the club what is near the apartment. The windows in the living room were better soundproofed so it was better for those who slept in the sofa bed there.
The apartment was excellent in every way. It was very clean, had all the necessary equipment, the beds were comfortable, even the sofa bed was comfortable. It is well located in the center of Akureyri and it was easy to find a parking space.

NetherlandsThe apartment wasn't completely clean. The table and kitchen counter were still sticky, and the bedroom and bed felt a bit cramped.
This apartment in Akureyri is ideally located in the heart of the city center. Communication with the staff wasn't necessary as the key box and parking instructions were clearly outlined in the email.

BulgariaNo parking available. On weekends it is not a problem at all as you can park in the big city center parking freely, but on workdays you must pay there. A drier machine would be really appreciated and helpful. I booked the hotel mainly because of the home-feeling and the available washing machine. We wanted to wash our clothes as it is roughly in the middle of the ring-road-trip, but couldn't because we had only 1 night booked and no drier.
Location could not be more central than that. Everything in the city is in minutes walk distance away. The apartment is super clean, neat, and equipped with (almost) everything you could need to feel like home! A really nice change of pace compared to staying only at hotels. We could make a delicious dinner ourselves and watch a movie on the TV connecting my laptop to it via HDMI. The owners were also very kind and sent us clear and detailed instructions (you don't see them during your stay). Self-checkin is a nice bonus as well. PS: Apologies again for breaking one of your plates 😄

Mr
United KingdomHave to be honest here, Although you expect noise in a City Centre, we didnt expect this much. There is a speaker outside in the neighboring Hostel/Bar That is a few meters from the Bedroom we slept in. We stayed 2 nights Thursday & Friday and even though the apartment is well sound proofed the bass from the speaker went straight through the walls. It didnt go off till Midnight and even started up again at 7am!!! on Saturday morning. Hard to sleep when you have Dance music playing till very late, Dont be fooled by the volume during the day as it increases at night. The odd thing is there was hardly any paying customers listening to it, just local teenagers who seem to add to the noise. The apartment however was great in every other way.
Everything inside the apartment. Very well apointed, modern & clean. Very comfortable beds including Sofa Bed. Netflix for Guests. Washing machine was great as well. Our favourite stay in Iceland but.....

FranceImpersonal, in a way that the only communication is via Booking messages, even that mostly automatised. It's hard to "rate" "staff" when you meet/hear no-one for 2 full days.
The apartment is perfect, both the location and the place itself. It has everything needed for a comfortable stay, although supermarkets are a bit far out of center to get breakfast for yourself. Parking is possible in front, but we took our car to the Cultural centre to the free parking about 5 minutes walk.

SwitzerlandFaces front of main street and next door is a bar/hostel where the young frequent it seems. :-) Can be loud for some at times, but just an fyi for those who may be sensitive to such.
Not only was the apartment well stocked with all one could need, there was also many nice decorative and artistic touches. Very nicely done! The owner was very responsive, friendly, and professional. A pleasure to stay here.. Bus line, bakeries, markets, are within a few feet. Try Kaffi Ilmur just up the street with lovely owners, food, and atmosphere.

United Statesneeded trash bags and there were no additional bags to be found . really could use a machine dryer for clothes. especially in winter, drying on a rack really doesnt work out great. If you have any mobility issues, this apartment would not work as there are stairs to the apartment itself. only other item to note was on friday/saturdays, the local pub is VERY VERY crowded and loud... its at least 5 doors down and we could clearly hear people and noise until about 2 am . but it wasnt a deal breaker at all and we would stay here again.
location was on point! best location in the town by far! parking was easy to find and deal with. apartment is spacious and clean
