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...).

United KingdomThe room offered on the 4th floor
We have stayed here before and loved the view from the room (think we must have had a superior room previously). This time we were offered a room on the 4th floor which was tiny with a tiny balcony and a high wall and therefore no view unless you were standing up. Asked to be moved and thank goodness they had another room or our holiday would have been ruined.

United KingdomWe weren't too impressed with some of the food at the restaurant or the cafe. Starters good, but some mains (eg oxtail canneloni, crunchy lasagne, Gibralfaro sandwich) were lacking.
The fabulous view from all rooms which have a small balcony, perfect for sitting out and watching the world below; the spacious, spotless room, comfy beds, large shower room, the reception staff who were lovely and multi-lingual. Also liked the swimming pool (not heated) and area around, still with that view.

United States of AmericaThe dessert menu could have been better for our taste!
We were in room 310 with a lovely view, plus we could see the path to walk down to the city centro. We visited the Castello Gibralfaro, took the bus to town twice and had timed tickets for the very interesting Picasso Museum. We had dinner in the Paradore's restaurant the first night which we both enjoyed. The best part was breakfast on the balcony of the restuarant both mornings. Took wonderful photos from there.

We love the Parador, it's the third time we have stayed and will be staying again. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and the views from the little balcony are amazing. The staff is always friendly, helpful and welcoming. This is a really special hotel and we highly recommend it. The location is so good that there are tours up to the viewing points. Spectacular!

United KingdomBathroom could do with refurbishing, separate shower for those struggling climbing in the bath, I managed but needed help from my partner. It would have been helpful to have had prior notice of this. There seemed to be different staff on reception and in the restaurant and not all staff wore name badges and did not always introduce themselves.
Cleanliness of all areas. efficiency of staff in all areas, location of hotel Breakfast exceptional and plenty to choose from evening menu. Appreciated that my birthday was remembered. Special mention of Elena on reception both on arrival and ensured our bill was ready the evening before our early departure the following day,

United States of AmericaIt was a warm day and they had not switched over to the AC yet. They did supply a fan but it was still a bit warm in the room. With the balcony door open the room cooled in the early morning hours. Fortunately the room was very quiet even with the balcony door open.
