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...).

Friendly staff, great food, and beautiful views from my room made it a super place to stop over on our cycle ride from Malaga to Lisbon. Ten minute walk into town gave stunning views from the hill top. Substantial breakfast and secure storage for our bikes were much appreciated. Thanks for a lovely stay. .

Czech RepublicThe house is in the historic center with a beautiful view of the castle. The room is smaller, but absolutely sufficient for an overnight stay. The room has a fridge, TV, air conditioning. For an extra charge we had a good breakfast - baguette, croissant, coffee, juice. The service was nice. The house is in a quiet street, good for sleeping.

SpainI can't comment on the quality of the breakfast, as we met with our friends to eat in the town square. However, I thought €6 for a coffee, juice and toast or croissant was a little steep! Parking, if you have cases, is also a problem as you may have to walk up a steep hill from the heavily used municipal car park........but it's the same in many towns nowadays!
Not quite sure why it's only called a hostal! Maybe not as swanky as some hotels but better than some I've stayed in! We only stayed for one night in order not to have to drive home, having been drinking with friends who live in the town.......but the arrival and checkout were efficiently dealt with by Monica in a friendly way, the room and comfy beds were fine, the bathroom clean and not claustrophobic, and the view from the balcony excellent! Splendid positioning, just off the bustling town square.

IrelandIf I had a complain it's really not a complaint.I found the room too small for me.If I was going again I would definitely book a larger room.I am asthmatic and I felt a bit claustrophobic.That is no fault of anyone but myself.
I loved the kindness of the owners Monica and Paco what a lovely couple.I would highly recommend the place to anyone.It was spotlessly clean.I could see the castle from the room which I didn't expect to see.

SwedenThere are a few things that could be added like a new silent refrigerator, a hairdryer and maybe a water boiler but at the same time one must take into consideration that the price you actually pay maybe only for the marvellous view.
The famous movie "A room with a view" was in my mind every day during my stay. Unbeatable is the only word to describe what you see from the private terrass. An old moorish castle, a white washed village and the Andalusien mountains as a background is all you can ask for. Having breakfast served at the terrass there I could enjoy sunrise every morning was a mighty experience. My bed was comfortable and warm water came always to my shower after a little while...
