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.).

Tangs is in a beautiful town. Isafjordur fit all our needs. We loved X country skiing wild valleys nearby. Tangs is perfect for exploring far and wide. Or just hanging out recouping. The owners are very kind and fun!!

The apartment is HUGE and has everything you need and the town is quaint. The host gave us a tour of the immediate area, shared local history, and even let us try shark. Cannot recommend enough.

CanadaWe had a problem with locking the door with a key. Found out at checkout that European locks work differently than North American. No big deal, as iceland is a super safe country.
We loved the renovation of how they tied in the history of the building. The apt is in the heart of the downtown area with many amenities surrounding it. Super happy with our stay.

We loved playing the LPs on the record player, and the location was great, with a nice garden next to the house. We loved our stay in Isafjordur!

GermanyThis extraordinary apartment is a hit! Central location, parking lot at the house, everything clean, imaginative and lovingly designed in a historic building, cosy! The kitchen is well equipped, also with everyday necessities ... exceptional: A special drawer with all conceivable spices! You will find various wines and soft drinks (white wine and rosé well chilled!) - the wines at pleasant prices and the soft drinks for free! It was a special pleasure to meet Gisli, the owner: such a warm and lovable man! He personally guided us through the house, the original domicile of his ancestors, and had a lot of interesting things to tell...everything here is exceptional! Note: There is a good bakery and cafe nearby. There is nothing negative to say! This was maybe the best accomodation on our two weeks trip to Iceland.

AustraliaNothing sure to the thorough thoughtfulness of the hosts.
Tangs Apartment provided one of the best accommodation experiences of our travelling lives. I'm not going to describe all the special things about the stay other than to say the hosts were the stars. Go and experience it for yourselves. The accommodation is very well located with parking at the door. The decor is a delight and the quality of the kitchen is exceptional. It had the biggest collection of herbs and spice I have seen outside a store. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom worked very well.

United StatesIt feels silly to critique such a wonderful stay, but if I absolutely *had* to give a suggestion, it might be to reorient the beds so that you aren't sleeping with your head by the window. As someone who isn't used to 19.5 hours of daylight, I found it a little difficult to fall and stay asleep with my head by the window and not the *best* blackout drapes in the world. That said, a minor feng shui issue should not deter you from staying here. It is so excellent! Honestly, we should have just packed sleeping masks. Pack sleeping masks if you're traveling to Iceland in the summer!
We had such a nice time at Tang's! The weather in Ísafjörður was not ideal while we were there (freezing rain, very high winds) so we didn't get to do the hiking and biking we had hoped to do, but we still had a wonderful time by a margin of this cozy apartment, and the owner, Gísli, who is incredibly nice and welcoming. He came by and introduced himself, and told us all about the house and gave us a fascinating history lesson. We spent most of our time enjoying his record collection, playing cards, watching movies, and cooking in the very well-equipped kitchen. Gísli insisted that we try and get a table at Tjöruhúsið for a meal - it did not disappoint and is an absolute must!! Hands down the best fish we have ever eaten.
