Where it is

The address in the listing is Barónsstígur 28, 101 Reykjavik. Postcode 101 covers Miðborg, the city centre. That is the postcode most visitors mean when they say downtown.

In a straight line it is 890 metres from the centre point this site measures from, in the old town by Lækjartorg, to the south-east. On foot that should take roughly 15 minutes. That is an estimate, not a measured route: the straight line with 30 percent added for the streets, at an ordinary walking pace of 5 km/h.

Booking.com's own location score for the property, from its guests, is 9.6 out of 10.

On parking the listing says: “Public parking is available at a location nearby (reservation is not possible) and costs € 13 per day.”

What the listing says the property has

Booking.com files each facility under a heading, and the listing names these. Something missing from the list is simply not listed, which is not the same as absent: ask the property if it matters.

What guests mention

Booking.com condenses the property's guest reviews into a short list of what comes up most, drawn from 123 reviews. This site has not read the reviews itself: the table is Booking.com's summary, as given.

Guests single out location and cleanliness as strengths; the summary is mixed on bathroom, windows and kitchenette.

How much the guest score can carry

8.5 out of 10 from 527 reviews. At that number of stays one unhappy or delighted guest barely moves the average, so the score is a fair summary of how guests have found it.

Within “Apartments in Reykjavik” it stands 135 of 319 when the group is sorted by score and number of reviews together, so that a 10 from one guest does not outrank a 9.1 from two thousand.
