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 KingdomThe apartment itself was well fitted out, but compact. If we stayed again we'd probably stay in one of the bigger properties so we had more space to relax.
Fantastic location with beautiful views, especially from the bedroom. Had everything we needed for a couple of nights. Very fairly priced for Iceland. Warm, cosy, and a great place to come home to do after a long day exploring.

SingaporeNothing I could tink of!
Definitely the best accomodations we choose after travelling around 🇮🇸 ring road. My 2 teenage boys were elated when we checked in the cottage. Its really super cozy, warm floor with all the decor and lighting and plus point the speaker in the living room. Dryer & washing machine is a life saver as we need to wash our heat tech and inner wear. Hot tub is heaven despite the super cold weather, we enjoy every minute of it. Best shower we had as the water pressure and hot water is heaven compared to other accomodations. N1 petrol kiosk, shopping mall, supermarket and restaurant are within minutes drive to Akureyri Town. Forest Lagoon is abt 5mins drive from cottage. Thankful and bless that we get to see Northern Light for the second time when we are here. Definitely return when we want to travel to 🇮🇸 during the midnight sun in 2025.

United Arab EmiratesNothing much really Maybe the crow but give unease but that should personal preference not related to the apartment If can have more carpets that would be nice touch
I really liked the location of the apartment It is on the hills facing the river and Akueyri city Since it is on the lake you appreciate the quietness and enjoy the nature Regard the apartment it’s well designed and spacious and their item from kitchen and bathrooms is neat and modern with high end technology I really like it And outdoor garden or Terrance is big and only for you where you can enjoy the view and maybe even seeing northern lights in winter. The floor of apartment is kinda warm which is great in the winter to warm you during cold weather The place is great for family They have two bedrooms with twin beds and provided child bed with some dolls and upstairs small gathering place where there is couch , modern TV provide YouTube and Netflix etc and even Wii video game !! , seems the owner don’t want you to leave the apartment, in good way ! In the bathroom they have washing machine and store for everything you need from towels , paper towels scissors hair dryer etc . I will do my best to come in winter

Czech RepublicThe owner should not require that the guests empty the dishwasher before they leave. If you plan to leave early it is 1,5 hour delay. Also the check-in is very late - at 5 pm.
Superb location, view, the apartment itself is perfect. I would have given 10 out of 10 but I decided to reduce it to 8 for the following reasons.
