Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaPillows were hot dog-shaped (?). Too big to go under your neck. Too narrow to go under your head. Bring your own, as we did!! Skip the very "continental" breakfast & get something real in town!
This is not the youth hostel "of your youth." It is basically a relaxed hotel! Rooms are clean. Floors are heated (nice!). Community terrace has a LOVELY view! We collapsed into the comfy beds and slept great. We'll stay here again!

BelgiumThe shower: mold and with a pushbutton. The place was worn down (paint coming off) but also not clean. Under the couch/bed a lot of dust. Also in the toilet clearly not vacuumed well.
We got an upgrade to a studio. The view on the city is spectacular from the terrace of the hostal, at sunset but at any time of day. We walked down and up again to visit. Good directions in advance from the hostal to drive, as waze would have sent us differently. Easy parking.

United KingdomOnly downside was that the rooms do not include towels and toiletries in the price which would have been great.
A bit of a steep trek (but not too far) from Gros and San Sebastian. The ladies at the reception were very helpful and friendly. There was a common kitchen available and the room itself was self-sufficient and good. The view from the accommodation was great.

SpainThe location is a bit difficult to get to (takes some 20 minutes to the centre of S Sebastian with a car) and there are a lot of curves to get to the place. Not great if you want to go to the city more than 1 or 2 times per day and come back to the hotel to eat, change, shower...
Nice cozy rooms with warm shower and free parking. The vibe is a bit "hostel-y". The managers are very nice and the location is offering very nice views of San Sebastian. It is also quite a bit colder than in the city.

United KingdomBe aware of the 20 min walk up the hill if you are not able to get a shuttle / taxi, however with the distance from the city comes a great view! This wasn’t an issue to our group as we were expecting this.
The views from the room and common areas were great, good to have access to parking, staff were very helpful with information and allowing us to use the kitchen facilities as it was outside of the kitchen operating season.
