How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe stayed in Unit B and had a great stay. The studio was very comfortable, with a spotless kitchen and bathroom. The washing machine was a great convenience, and the seating area was thoughtfully furnished. Its location near downtown made everything easily accessible, and parking right in front of the house was never a problem. We especially appreciated the complete privacy throughout our stay. As we were leaving, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, she was incredibly kind and welcoming. If we return to this city, we’ll definitely try to stay here again.

Verified reviewGreat location, walking distance to everything. Free parking. Appreciated the good sized fridge and freezer, the use of the bbq to cook dinner, washing machine to do our laundry and clothesline outside to dry the clothes. Loved the gardens and outdoor seating area. Comfy bed and multiple seating areas indoors. Sigridur was lovely and gave us some great suggestions on places to visit during our stay.
Nothing. It was a lovely suite.
Dear Kelly. Thank you so much for your kind words! I am really happy to know that you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you so much for staying with us and I hope we will see you again sometime in the future. Best regards, Sigridur

Verified reviewWe enjoyed this nice studio apartment in the landlord basement. Very bright, clean and quiet place, very well equiped kitchen. Comfy beds. Good bathroom size with washing machine. Excellent wifi signal. Free parking in front of the house. Lovely terrace/garden. Good location next to isafjorour center.
The price (222€ is overpriced, as in many places in Iceland, but it’s still not justified)

Verified reviewComfortable studio apartment, good size, nice location
There is a washing machine but no dryer, and a small hanger to hang your washed clothes on, so don't expect to do more than a few items. Also allow yourself plenty of time for clothes to dry.

Verified reviewThe host communicated beforehand how to get access to the apartment and also advised us on the day when the apartment was available for us to use. The apartment was comfortable and very clean, with complimentary coffee, tea and biscuits. There is a washing machine available which we did not use. The garden area looked nice, although we did not have time to make use of it. The surrounding area was quiet, and we had a view of the impressive mountain from our room. It is an easy walk in to town where we had a dinner at the Húsið restaurant, which we can recommend.
The pillows were very thin.

Verified reviewEverything worked as expected. I very much appreciated having access to a clothes washer in the unit. There was good pressure in the shower and ample hot water (Ísafjörður is not a geothermal area). The kitchen set up was adequate for my use during the stay, and I am sure if I needed anything else the fantastic hosts would have supplied it. And Kría is a hoot.
Nothing in particular that I could think of.
