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.).

SwedenWow. Super Cosy hotel in the heart of Santillana. Really authentic and super friendly staff. I would have rated it 10, but one of my clients was allergic to mold and got sick. So if you have allergies take that into account, but if not please stay here in Santiallana!

AustraliaApril. And not much open for tourists. Very annoying
Central location. Historical building. Spotlessly clean. We arrived by motorcycle and were allowed secure parking within the gates. Probably not allowed in summer months. Breakfast was ok. Enough to suffice till lunch time. Lots of sweet things. No eggs. But meats and cheese. Cereal and yogurt

CanadaBecause the hotel is old, you hear your neighbors, and doors are sometimes hard to close, ie more noise. The towels were thin. It would have been nice to have a small refrigerator in the room. There was street noise.
The hotel is a very old building and the owners have kept it that way. Tons of character. Right on the main street with lots of restaurants around. Room was comfortable. Breakfast was good.

United KingdomNothing - we loved it. There is no parking at the hotel, but that wasn't really a problem. We parked outside the hotel temporarily to check in and leave our bags, and then moved the car to the main town car park (a few euros a day) which was only a five minute walk away. Plenty of spaces always available when we were there (but that was October and I guess it might be much busier in the summer).
Amazing hotel - beautiful historic building!! Location was incredible - Santillana Del Mar is beyond beautiful. Amazing old buildings and cobbled streets. Took so many photographs! Loads of nice bars and restaurants very close by, so we were spoilt for choice in the evenings. Everywhere in town is within walking distance from the hotel.

United KingdomUnderwhelming room furniture. Unsecured headboard so it moved and made noice every time you move in bed. We could have used a desk and chair. TV was size A4, so it’s useless but has a VERY bright red light that is on the whole time. Quite annoying in the night. The breakfast was terrible. Burnt coffee, slightly dry bread and pastries and all on the sweet side. Would have loved the simple continental with local butter or marmalade. Instead, they have extra sweet individually packed cheap butter jam/marmalade. An unsightly and unsustainable option which contrasts with the lovely atmosphere of the Hotel.
Well situated classic hotel. Nice communal areas and large ventilated rooms.

United KingdomMy room was in the roof which meant it was hot and there was no air conditioning.
The building was amazing - really atmospheric with some sitting rooms to relax in. A really special place. Staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good. The location was perfect, right in the centre. I also thought it was really good value for money, particularly when compared to the parador.

United StatesKitchen to make tea or coffee opened at 9AM, which was too late for me to make anything before tours began. It was also very loud and warm at night. There was no air conditioning so we had to keep the window open.
Great location near many restaurants, also near Mount Urgull and Concha Beach. The bathroom and room were very clean. It was also easy to check in. We really liked the patio overlooking the restaurants.

United KingdomSome parts of the breakfast were a little stale.
This is a beautiful old hotel, comfortable, quiet, and packed with antiques. The breakfast - talked down by other reviewers - was really pretty good and the staff were friendly and helpful. The town is wonderful and well worth a visit. We had good instructions from the hotel about parking and luggage drop off, in Spanish and English, as car access is restricted. The car park is cheap and not far away.
