How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewNice location near the centre of the old town with secure, if a little expensive, underground parking. Fairly large room and a well equipped bathroom, and good linen. Basic, but very cheap breakfast.
The parking charge was expensive for a motorcycle, but they did put us in a car space. The bathroom was a little grubby around the edges.

Verified reviewThe staff was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay, from a smooth check-in to fixing the AC issue in no time. They really took excellent care of us. The location was fantastic, close to everything we needed. Although the hotel is a bit dated, it was very clean and well-maintained, which we appreciated.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that the walls are very thin, so it was easy to hear conversations from neighboring rooms. Our room was also next to the cleaning room, which meant there was a lot of noise early in the morning. As someone sensitive to noise, this unfortunately made it hard to get proper rest.

Verified reviewCentral location with secure underground parking.
Room (next to lift well) looked out over back yards and washing lines. We read that breakfast was buffet style (like we had in Paradores) - it isn't. The waitress brings you one of everything, meaning you can't go back for more, say more fruit. Air conditioning in room didn't really affect room temperature - but we found this to be a common problem in many hotels in Spain.

Verified reviewGood location, smart modern hotel . Good breakfast and helpful staff, especially at breakfast.
You will need to book a parking space under the hotel, it’s pretty tight down there! We struggled to find a restaurant open but possibly the time of year ?
Good morning Tim Thank you for leaving us your review. Restaurants in Soria are usually closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so it’s possible that your visit coincided with that schedule.We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards.

Verified reviewHotel well located in centre of town. Secure underground parking with large parking bays. The cafeteria bar has a great atmosphere on an evening with locals and visitors enjoying the tapas. Reception staff very friendly and helpful.
Our room was next to the lift which was noisy and in constant use, making it hard to sleep soundly. The room for breakfast was large but empty and cold with no atmosphere at all.
Good morning Andrew, thank you very much for your review and for highlighting the hotel’s café. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the elevator during your stay and hope to see you again. Kind regards from the Alfonso VIII team
