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...).

GermanySome areas of the place could do with a little renovation.
The room was very good. I really appreciated the bath and the fact that one could make the room completely dark at night. Breakfast was simple, but the best thing about this place was that it is situated within walking distance from the Caminito del Rey. The personnel is very friendly and acommodating.

SpainMy room was very dark. Curtains didnt cover sides of windows and while in bathroom if door wasnt closed anyone can look in from outside if passing to car park. I ended up trapping the curtains in the outsides of windows for privacy. 1st morning there wasn't enough tables for breakfast and as we had a trip booked we were there for breakfast around 08.15 and we asked to sit in the evening dining area next to breakfast room. The man serving was not happy about this. After our arrival a family turned up for breakfast but he happy for them to be in dining room. The service wasn't great he was on his own. That evening we had drinks in the bar. The barman might want to smile at clients or they will go somehere else to drink. The following night he was happy. Being in the public eye means you smile regardless of what's going on. For the reasons we gave above for our breakfast experience we decided to not eat at the restaurant and went elsewhere..
The situation for access to the Caminito de Rey was excellent.. reception very good especially Gregorio who went to great lengths to tell us about the access to the walk. We listened and his advice to take the longer path was very good. We did just that and the walk was just as he told us. He is an asset to the business.

AustraliaWould have liked a mini fridge in the room to keep our drinks cold. The bed was a bit hard but have found that to be the case in the most other accomodation we have stayed at in Spain and it might suit a lot of other people.
The location was great to do the start of the Caminito del Ray walk. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean but on the small size but with good hot showers. The meal we had for dinner was amazingly good. We were very happy with our stay here.

Netherlandsthe receptionist was very friendly and helpful, hotel is about 30 walking from the entrance to camino del rey (take the 2nd tunnel, ask at reception for more details). the restaurant was very good, a good hotel when you want to visit the camino or surroundings. very quiet in the evenings as well, hardly any cars passing, so sitting outside in the restaurant was a pleasure.

United KingdomCar park around the back was a little steep and fairly tight. Not a problem though. Just make sure you have the hotel's phone number on you, as the gate seemed to close quicker than they said it would - we were too slow and were temporarily trapped :)
Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were large. We booked at short notice so that we could enjoy the lake early without travelling. The price was good for such short notice right in the middle of summer. Breakfast was lovely too.

A nice hotel, 30 min walking distance from Caminito del Rey. The room was simple, but comfortable. Very helpful and friendly staff. When we arrived the man explained us everything and gave us some advices how to approach the entrance of Caminito del Rey. The breakfast was OK. We had also dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was good.

United KingdomOne of the bed mattresses were a bit soft. The TV has limited channels - all Spanish.
Excellent location for those visiting Carminito del Rey. It is about 6-8 minutes walk to the two tunnels that start your journey to the Carminito del Rey Reception Centre. The tunnel just right of the El Kiosko restaurant traits about 50 minutes. The tunnel for the shorter route (20 minutes) is just 200 metres further south of the tunnel for the longer route. Once you have collected your helmet & hair net & receive a brief safety speech, the purpose walk commences and is said 5 km (approximately 1.5 hours). The staff say the hotel (especially "Gregorio" at the reception desk was super friendly and helpful with advice. The restaurant was ok too for the evening meal - tasty food but relatively small portions. Prices are slightly higher given its location. Rooms were spacious and clean. The hotel is a bit dated but has loads of character.

PortugalBreakfast. The hotel is used for visitors of del Caminito and the opening hour of the restaurant is difficult for the visitors of the first slot in Caminito. 30 min before could be more convenient to have breakfast.
In general all aligned with expectations. Great location for visitors of Caminito del Rey. Comfortable enough. Staff, especially the receptionist, very nice and helpful.
