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...).

ArgentinaIf they put some tea bags, coffee and milk pods with some small biscuits as a detail it would be appreciated. There was an old fashioned coffee machine in the room. I am a customer service person and I know that these details make a difference. Otherwise perfect.
The location was great and the price was good. Very clean room

SpainWe did not like the entrance, it is a building where each floor is a different hostel and only the interior of the hostels are decorated and bright coloured; the entrance is dirty and scary and I would not go in there alone
The room went beyond our expectations for a hostel; we had a private bathroom with hot water in the shower, many towels, a black towel to remove makeup, a TV, a fridge, a hair dryer!

AlbaniaGetting a room that it was not supposed to and even if i had booked quite a month ago, having as response that we couldn't tell you bcs we choosed yesterday that you have this room😳 Eventhough i asked them since i've prebooked about the windowview and they did not told me that my room was with a "tricky" window. Just they have to be fair, that's all, because i've paid the same price and not a lower one because of this room situated such. This kind of problem i've seen even in other reviews for the small double room. And than they wanted me to pay more if i wanted another room or to have money back if i wanted to leave. P.s bed linens and the towels could be better. And also the cleaning. I've seen no staff (reception) in 3 days.

RomaniaThe bed runner was a VERY old and worn-out blanket that was absolutely full of white lint or something like that. Thankfully it's not something I really need for my stay so I just tossed it on the floor but it was a bad taste in an otherwise really nice stay. I will stay there again (this was my third time actually), but please get rid of those bed runners asap. Also, the hallway's light sensor doesn't reach rooms 6 and 7 so you have to lock your door in the dark. And the shower head had a tear in it and a lot of water was coming out that way too.
Location is great, the room was perfect for my needs as a solo traveler, the bed was very comfy, the heating was great (I stayed there during some pretty cold days). And even though I didn't need it, the makeup removing towel was a nice touch.

CanadaThe bathroom was small but workable however the bathroom lighting was very poor and the towels were awful (just old, not absorbant and worn but clean).
Principe location was awesome but not for the faint of heart. It was busy with inner city activities all day and all night. BUT the balcony windows and doors are new so the noise did not bother us at all. It is walking distance to everything in the centro -- restaurants, museums, shopping, Retiro park. Many subway stops nearby.

RomaniaOn two out of the three mornings we were there, the shower was terrible: switching from very hot to very cold every few seconds.
It's well located, clean and comfortable. During the night it's pretty quiet. The instructions for check in and check out were very clear. Don't let the vintage elevator scare you - it's functional, safe and the antique look is part of the charm.

United KingdomShower pressure wasn't great, but was adequate. Other than that all was good.
Excellent location in the centre of Madrid. Ten minutes walk from Sol, Metro stations, Santa Anna, etc. In the old town & surrounded by a huge amount of bars, cafes & restaurants. Quiet room despite the central location. Room very clean & comfortable. Check-in carried out on-line, so quick simple access to rooms on arrival. Small, but lovely antique lift available as well as stairs. Room felt safe & secure. Have stayed here more than once before & would book again in the future.

Great location near the city centre. Although there was no staff present at the hostel, we did not have any problems to enter the building/room, etc. Really appreciate the air-conditioning and fridge to store our drinks and food.

United KingdomNever saw the hostel staff, although we checked in very late. However, they only operated for a few hours a day after 2pm. Pillows were also quite uncomfortable and low
Location was great, perfect for getting around the city. A bit noisy as there are dozens of other hostels along the street and in the building, but wasn't an issue if you were living the Madrid lifestyle. Great AC
