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.).

FinlandGrocery stores quite a long distance away, though this was well informed in advance so we bought what we needed in Vik.
Comfortable apartment with good location close to beautiful sights. Coffee, tea and some spices were available for use, so no need to buy them for a short stay.

AustraliaIt was pretty perfect, only additional thing might be to provide paper towel or tissue.
Exceeded our expectations. The apartment is spacious, very good quality fittings and design. Wonderful comfortable bed. All the amenities you could need. Small touches such as ample clothes hanging space (especially helpful in Iceland and other accomodation we have stayed in only provided a couple of small hooks for clothes), all simple pantry items such as oil, salt & pepper, tea and coffee provided. Very helpful and gracious hosts and an absolutely stunning location with glacier and mountain views. Quiet and off the main highway.

United StatesThere is a 1 bedroom and 4 studios at the Potato Storage. The pictures show the 1 bedroom more than the studios. We traveled as 2 couples in 2 rooms and were able to get together, but it's not as spacious as expected.
This is a modern, small, guesthouse in a pretty remote area. We found a good restaurant at the Hotel Skaftatell and generally found the tiny town of Svinafell to be a nice place to stay. And, is there a better name for a place to spend a night??

GermanyThe potato storage has everything you might need. Especially the kitchen is very well equipped (the best one we stayed at so far). The flat is really thought-out and super clean. You have a great view and we even saw northern lights. It is located next to the ringroad and the location is suitable for daytrips in both directions. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here!

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay in the Potato Storage! The location is very convenient for glacier tours and to visit the diamond beach. The information pre-arrival regarding food and shopping was very useful as it is quite a remote location, but there are good restaurant options around. The owner was very friendly and showed us to our room. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights from just outside the accommodation too! Overall this was a brilliant little place and we would love to stay again.

The location 30 minutes west of the jokulsarlon iceberg lagoon where we did glacier walking and ice cave exploring was perfect. There are about 5 apts in the potato storage building. We were in apt 1. I believe it is the smallest and across from the owners house (we still had a window with a view) but it was perfect for 2 people who were out most of the day exploring. The walls are made of concrete so it was quiet even though it is 5 units together. Definitely a dark sky property. Loved the little kitchen. The apt was immaculate. The mattresses were comfortable. We enjoyed the in floor heating. I also loved the “how to use this apt book” -always appreciated! The host was super sweet. I can’t think of any negatives!

United StatesCan't think of a thing!
We were so happy to find this wonderful place in the Southeastern part of Iceland! The converted storage barn apartments are spotlessly clean, comfortable and well furnished. The location is beautiful and easily found just off the Ring Road. Driving to the National Park or to meeting locations for excursions was easy. We traveled to two days of glacier hiking and ice caving and afterward, it was great to come "home" to this sweet little apartment. Regina, our host, was gracious, accommodating and kind. It was clear that she wanted her guests to be comfortable.

The location was perfect for our journey plus Regina sent us an email when the northern lights were visible! She made us feel so comfortable and happy to stay at their property. Plus the welcome book was a beautiful added benefit. This was our favorite stay of our month long vacation through Scandinavia because of the friendliness of the family, the beautiful location, and comfort we felt here. We loved The Potato Storage and can’t wait to come back here in the future! Thank you for everything.
