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 KingdomWe didn't receive a particularly warm welcome from the lady who checked us in. We'd requested a double bed but had a twin room which was disappointing especially as we'd messaged them directly to request one. The room felt a little cold but there were blankets available.
Great central location close to supermarkets and bars. The room was clean. Bed was fairly comfortable.

United States of AmericaIt was a little noisy hearing other guests in other rooms, doors closing etc. but couldn’t be helped due to design.
The owner was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was in very good condition and a quirky layout. Located in the old town, fun. Everything was clean and tidy.

SpainThere was a strange smell in my room that I couldn't get out no matter how long I left the window open. The room itself was very clean, so I don't know where the smell was coming from. It was also a little cold in the room and the heat is only on at certain hours.
The location is great and the room was very clean. It's also very cute, situated on a nice terrace. It's a good place to stay for the price you pay.

United KingdomEven though the room and bathroom were clean there was a strong smell to damp and there was a leak from the toilet. Those are the only things I can complain about.
Pensión Arbidel is very well located in the centre of town. Friendly receptionist when we arrived and the room and bathroom were clean and sort of independent from the others so we did not suffer from noises.

United KingdomI don’t want to pick fault but a few things would have made the room more comfortable. A rubbish bin and a mirror. I wasn’t aware the shared bathroom would be for 4 rooms. The bathroom was often occupied so it was difficult to just use the loo sometimes as people were showering and the loo is in the same room. The bathroom could do with a shelf to put a wash bag on, there wasn’t anywhere to put items for washing.
Great location, can walk everywhere and restaurants nearby. Charming room. Bed sheets smelt lovely and fresh!

SpainNot that I didn't like but I would have preferred instructions about an early check-out but I should have asked so my fault. There is only one plug by the bed which is the lamp. Choose between nice lighting or charging your phone.
The room had a double bed and everything was very tidy and clean. The receptionist was very friendly. Gracias.

We liked this place a lot. We had a good size room, the staff was nice and the location was great, close to the waterfront and local bars/restaurants. We had a nice evening picnic on the tables up on the elevated terrace. Overall a really pleasant place.
