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):
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 was clean, beds were comfy, nice to have a kitchenette so we could cook a meal, although a sink plug or washing up bowl would have made washing up easier. The tv didn’t work, no reception for any channels or Netflix, would have been nice to have & if it’s not working probably shouldn’t be advertised. We arrived a bit early & called to ask if we could check in & were told this was fine so that was handy.

United StatesCheck-in was frustrating because you have to call them from a phone in the lobby and you get a recording in Icelandic, which we could not understand. Thankfully they were quick to respond through booking.com messaging to help us get in. Also our tv would not turn on.
The room was very big and had a nice view of the harbor. It was nice to have a kitchen and a table in the room.

United StatesThe bed was simply a mattress and box spring sitting in the floor. Two of the windows had a single curtain that did not cover it so you see outside and people could see in. The room wasn’t dark at night because of the street lamps. We were told that a smart tv, satellite cable and hair dryer were provided and they were not. The lightbulb in the overhead light blinked the whole time so we had to unplug it.
The location was good.

CanadaCurtains need to be better especially for Iceland daylight weather. Theres lots of light tht come through. The signs in the hotel need updating as theres lots of old information. So, unsure of the check out timings. Staff not responsive on the booking app. The temperature of the shower knob was broken so it was stuck on hot water. Location of power sockets in room n kitchen are very off. Some salt and pepper in the kitchen and few basic condiments would be great.
The largest space I stayed in at Iceland. Its a whole apartment. Self check in and out thru the code sent to you. Great view from the room of the mountains and water. Grocery store near by. All pots and pans and dishes provided.

IcelandIt was not easy reaching the hosts to get my room number and key code, they didn't answer the phone immediately and when they did, the connection was bad and got disconnected - eventually the phone didn't ring at all. I messaged them through the Booking app and fortunately they replied there with the number about 15 minutes later. Employees in a restaurant downstairs told me this is a very common problem - some wait longer before reaching them. It would be much better if the numbers were sent on the day of arrival, rather than having to rely on reaching them on arrival. There is a TV but no channels seem to be active. Maybe I could have connected a thumb drive or computer to watch my own stuff, I didn't try.
Great location in the center of town, a short walk to the town grocery store, information center and mini museum. Easy parking, and a fast charger for my car across the street. Huge room, nice views over the working harbor. Good restaurant downstairs. Ólafsvík is a very cute town and great base to explore Snæfellsnes.

CanadaIt was hard to find - no street numbers on the building and the sign was less than obvious. The bathroom needed a chair or small table or hooks to hang clothing while using the shower.
It was a good apartment for two people based in Olafsvik for a couple of days exploring Snaefellsnes. Well equipped kitchen, central location, clean and tidy. Great view of the harbour and the bay.
