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.).

United StatesThey could do with some bigger towels and new bedclothes.
The location can't be beat and my room was comfy and fun, being on two levels. Pay in cash to get a better local rate (the blue dot rate favors the dollar).

IrelandWhen we arrived there was a problem with the bathroom. Smelled really bad. They sorted out quickly though. Bedroom’s window was just in front of plazoleta Dorrego and it was super noisy, till 5 am. People drunk, smoking and shouting. AVOID A ROOM at front of building.
Location is great. In the heart of San Telmo. Very handy to go to Airport Ezeiza as well. Bed was confortable and room was big.

CanadaNOISE-Warning do not book a room facing the square if there will be music. Music blared into my room until 5:30 AM. I am sure an inside room would have been quiet.
Across the street from San Telmo market square. Room was small, functional & comfortable. A quick continental breakfast was plenty aftef a big meal the night before.

EcuadorThe electric socket type - only sockets in the bathroom were adopted for accepting also the round plugs, so charging devices was a bit of a chore. Also I guess I did not pay attention when booking, did not expect the duplex situation - it did not bother me much, but could be an issue for some. Also they charged the first night on the credit card, so kiss goodbye to that blue rate advantage...
Great location on plaza Dorrego, perfect for exploring the area. Lovely view that allowed to observe the plaza. Breakfast was good, everything in the room perfectly functioning. Helpful and friendly staff, help with booking an excellent tango show.

United StatesThe hotel and the staff were completely unacceptable! We arrived for check in late due to our flights. When we arrived the desk clerk was smoking (in a no smoking environment), which al Let made me walk out right then. The smell was so strong I could smell it on my clothes just from checking in! They didn’t ask for a credit card but I had given it when I booked so I didn’t think much of it. We left for an excursion early the next k morning and when we returned we were locked out of our room! They told us we couldn’t get in our room or get our belongings because we didn’t pay!!! I showed them my book I g confirmation showing I was going to be charged 50% at booking and the rest st check out. They just kept arguing with me. I had to agree to pay a night right then even though I should have been charged through booking. Plus I had to pay an extra fee. Keep in mind they never contacted me that day or tried to resolve the payment issue before this. They were rude, unhelpful and the how was not worth the cost!ugh better hotels for much less in the same plaza!
The location was a good spot to experience local area. The plaza was great, wonderful markets and easy to get to other areas

AustraliaThe breakfast consiisted of a tiny bit of stale museli, tea/coffee, some pastries and a fruit Juice in a packet. No fruit. Frankly why bother or was it the thought that counts. Unfortunately the hotel is located on top of a restaurant and I was kept up until 2 - 3am in the morning. Due to the noise. The neighbourhood is not safe at night but I didn't have any issues. For the money and the things mentioned I would advise anyone to seek another hotel.
Bed was semi confortable. Staff seemed. Attentive. There was hot water. Air conditioning. Location was ok for places that accepted dollar blue rate.

ItalyOur room was unfortunately really small - not enough space to keep even one suitcase on the floor and still walk around, let alone both of them at the same time. It was also windowless, and right next to the reception/breakfast area, so we were aware of any and all movement and conversation in the communal area. The breakfast provided was not amazing.
Absolutely perfect location right on Plaza Dorrego; couldn't be better placed. The staff were very helpful with extra requests. Hot shower and good aircon. Nice to have breakfast provided.

And so, no bedside light on one side 3 - noisy, right above the entrance of the building, few meters from the road 4 - no vent, impossible to remove humidity after the shower 5 - shower is leaking outside, the bath becomes a pond 6 - the curtains… missing or not working (I rolled it up by hand in the morning, a useless paper curtain) 7 - ok for a basic breakfast, but this is a bit too basic I think… the least of the problems though
