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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

IcelandInstructions for how to work stove. The child lock was on and this did not help. The host did his best to instruct over the phone, but that is always difficult if you cannot actually see what is happening. What I THINK you are supposed to do is: 1) Press button on the left to turn on 2) Press ‚key‘ button and hold for 3 seconds to release child lock 3) Four circles should now light up. Press the one you want to cook on. 4) Press the plus button to get the amount of heat needed. 5) Repeat for additional burner(s) Luckily there was also a microwave, and we were ablet to use that. Hopefully full and accurate instructions will be provided for future guests. I would definitely stay there again.
Terrific apartment with washer and drier in a wonderful location.

United StatesThe pillows were completely flat, the counter space was very limited, and the knives needed to sharpened. There was no salt and pepper which was disappointing.
The location was top notch. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go (restaurant, bakery, whale watching, etc). It was spacious, with great sunset views.

SingaporeHeads up to visitors who prefer a quieter or more secluded environment for their accoms, as the house is located on Husavik’s main street so there’s some traffic (vehicular and people) throughout the day.
We loved everything about our stay. Great unit, although we did get a little confused during check in. Bjarnabud is very strategically located next to the whale watching tour companies, across the church, and just a few steps away from a minimart and a cafe (Lokal). We got great views of the Husavik harbour from our unit, which is a huge plus. The unit is also fully equipped (kitchen, laundry, entertainment) and there’s plenty of parking space around the house. I also appreciate that the hosts are very responsive and helpful.
