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.).

AustraliaStaff was the star. Antonio was like an old friend. Not speaking Spanish, no problem. He whipped up a Google translator and told us all the tips and information. He ensured that we both were comfortable and happy with everything.

I was made to feel very welcome.

United KingdomThe hostel is on the less busy and populated side of the rather steep hill that Santander sits on so you have to go up and over to get to where the action is but I understand that for my budget it really wasn't that far from the action. Perhaps it just felt extra steep and far because my legs were jelly from the cycling!
Antonio was a very kind and friendly host who had nothing but useful stuff to tell me about the local area. As a weary cyclist turning up late in the evening he could not have been more helpful, getting me settled and comfortable and pointing me in the direction of some local restaurants. The room was very clean and very well equipped, including ensuite. Overall exactly what I needed from my 2 days rest in Santander before my ferry home. - Antonio fue un placer conocerte y gracias por toda tu ayuda. ¡Te deseo todo lo mejor para tu próxima aventura ciclista!

RomaniaThe room was a bit basic and the walls were too thin and you could hear everything from the other rooms. The bathroom is practically in the room (the walls don't go all the way up to the ceiling). But given the price of the room, I think this is ok.
- The staff was friendly and helpful - The room was very clean - There is a bus right in front of the property - Good value for the money - Free parking

Antonio will explain everything to you using his Google translate which I have never used before being old but is more than easy so there is no difficulty with language if you don't speak Spanish

United KingdomIt does feel like a converted hostel without the little hotel comforts
The host was marvellous and made such an effort to ensure we were comfortable. It is always worrying when you arrive by bicycle, but the bikes were stored safely with no problems. He gave us great tourist information on buses and restaurants

United KingdomNothing. We will be back.
We have never come across such a wonderful host. Nothing is too much trouble. We had mistakenly booked the wrong room, but he had anticipated what we had done and already had another room arranged. Also saved the life of my phone by being able to produce a phone charger plug. Would recommend this hostal if you are looking for something different with a host for of local knowledge.
