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.).

United StatesSome nights we had to look around a bit for parking.
We rented both apartments, so it was wonderful to be so close together but each have our own space. The upstairs apartment is bigger - the fold out couch doesn’t really work in the bottom apartment, but that was fine since we only needed one. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do.

United StatesBedroom space was very tight. No nightstands or place to keep things bedside other than the floor. Toilet is quite tall with sharp edges on the seat; very uncomfortable. Needed a small bookshelf/storage unit for toiletries in the bathroom (only space was on the back of the toilet and sink). Needs a toilet paper holder. Could use a small cart/shelf next to the refrigerator for the microwave (it is high on the refrigerator and hard to reach, needing to stand on a chair or risk spilling hot food/drinks when taking them out).
Great location. Nice quiet street but close to downtown action and easy access to highways. Apartment was well appointed and cared for, quality furnishings (real glasses, ceramic dishes, etc.). Really felt like a little home away from home. Enjoyed the public pool right around the corner and lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.

United KingdomMicrowave needed to be on a table, would have liked bedside units with lamps and a blackout blind in the bedroom (went in June during midnight sun season). No dishwasher tablets, but not a problem to wash-up instead as that is what we are used to.
Easy to find apartment, always wanted to stay in an authentic Icelandic coloured house. Very quiet area although only a few streets up from main street. Safe to walk around, lots of cafe's and restaurants and supermarkets or corner shops. Not far to walk from drop off/pick up bus stop just 5 minutes and 12 minutes from tour bus stop for day trips. Lovely shower with plenty of hot water, comfy beds with own single duvet each.

We were comfortable and it’s always great to have the flexibility to cook in or go out. The kitchen has all you need for a short stay. Super comfortable bed & lovely shower/bathroom. It was perfect for both local activities & getting out and about beyond the city.

LithuaniaThe only hiccup during our stay was the absence of an iron. While I understand it wasn't explicitly mentioned, we somehow expected one to be available. That aside, it's the only area that could use a bit of improvement. Overall, still a great experience!
I absolutely loved the location of this place! Everything was within walking distance, making it a breeze to explore the city without needing to rely on a car.

CanadaWe liked everything.
We (family of three) spent two very comfortable nights in Reykjavik at this place. Maria was a wonderful host, very helpful and responsive, which we had the pleasure to meet as we were leaving. The apartment is in a great (best?) location, it is beautiful, comfortable, warm and cozy. Everything one might need is there, including an espresso machine that makes great coffee. There is option for paid street parking, on the same street or neighboring ones. If you arrive late most spots might be occupied already. We would definitely stay there again.
