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...).

Stayed here while I was walking the Camino. The rooms are all individually named and decorated to that theme. They are a bit quirky and that gives it this incredible charm. Had one of my best nights sleep here. Well located and close to the center of town. What really sets this apart is the owner of the property. He is not only a great hotelier with a natural hospitality mindset but is such a warm, funny, caring person. You feel his embrace the moment you step into this property. I would highly recommend staying here whether you are on the Camino or not. Only disappointment was not being able to eat at their amazing restaurant as it was closed the night I was there. I Need to better plan next time !

It was clean and beautiful, I could not have selected a better place to stay in Villafranca del Bierzo! The host was very friendly and attentive, I almost ruined my walk on the Camino that day because these lousy delivery people didn’t bring my luggage on time. But Dani? I believe that’s his name… he called the delivery service and made sure my things arrived asap. So kind of him, I would have had so much trouble without him. Bless him and his lovely hostel 🥰

CanadaWe took a break from walking the Camino to celebrate my wife’s birthday and our anniversary. We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate with the wonderful hospitality provided by Dani. The dinners he and his staff provided were definitely fine dining and not pilgrims meals. He is a warm and engaging host who is clearly passionate about treating his guests very well. This is a real gem on the Camino and not to be missed.

Danny is so kind and helped when I arrived with a sore foot from walking the camino. He provided ice packs, foot bath and even though the kitchen was closed he prepared meals to be bought on a tray to the room. The beds were comfiest so far. Location perfect after walking a long way you arrive almost immediately on entering the town. Beautiful room and super quiet too. First place I've stayed on camino where earplugs weren't needed.

A unique and beautiful place with heaps of character. Danny the host is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He was so helpful and accommodating. He is the only person who carried our luggage up 2 flights of stairs and allowed us to check in after we settled in. A good breakfast.
