How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

This Hostal is in a characterful building and offers a very nice lounge area and coffee & tea making facilities. The room we booked had private facilities (a small but functional bathroom space) but overall was a comfortable size. The location with the walls of the old city was fabulous but also close to the ‘new’ town and plenty of choice for eating and coffee within walking distance. The historical sites are all nearby. Fabulous tourist information from the hosts.

What could have been better was due to our negligence. We arrived on a Sunday and were in the city all day Monday. But on both days, most of the sights were closed to tourists. For a more in-depth visit, we should have arrived any dy Tuesday through Saturday.
We didn't have breakfast at the Hostal, because we saw many places in the area for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In fact, we ate at some great restaurants, recommended by friends. But we found the hostal very charming. The location was perfect for a brief visit to Tarragona: we were in the heart of the historic area. And we found the city to be delightful, lively, and friendly. The medieval buildings and Roman ruins were stunning.

Can be noisy in the night but located in the middle of a city so take ear plugs . Still rated 10 as everything else so perfect
Quirky renovated property with the perfect central location. Immaculate room, comfy beds with pristine white sheets, towels,toothbrush & toiletries The owner goes above & beyond providing links to car parking 5.95 euro 24hrs a short stroll away. Complimentary morning coffee & bun . The option to purchase beer , wine & cold drinks , extra hot drinks & a honesty box for payment . It’s a hidden gem designed with passion. The cathedral 2 mins away go up the steps & find the restaurant Barcello serving great tapas & drinks with the perfect Cathedral view . Or stroll down the street to the bustling square for drinks . We had great Venezuelan food at The Cube. Just wished we had stayed longer & would highly recommend.
