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 reviewVery perfect and central location and a spacious private room!
It is on a Main Street so quite noisy with traffic into the late hours of the evening.

Verified reviewLocation was the best thing about this place...
We were looking specifically for hotels with parking, and as we got there we were told that the parking is 15 minutes walk from the hostal which is not acceptable when it claims to have parking. Of course there was also nowhere to unload our luggage in the busy street of Madrid and walking with suitcases 15 minutes is not something we planned on. The receptionist on the phone was quite rude about it and did not provide any solution.

Verified reviewGreat location in the heart of Madrid — perfect for walking everywhere. The reception staff was very friendly, and our room was spacious. The mattress was a bit firm for me, but my friend liked it.
The hotel is a bit old and has some cracks, but it looks like renovations are underway. Overall, a convenient stay with great service.

Verified reviewHotel very well located. Rooms are small but have everything you need for a short stay.
It is a bit overpriced for the size of the room and bathroom.

Verified reviewIn particular the location, was incredible near to everything in Madrid, you easily can do all the important stop walk from the hostal. The room was comfy including bed, we had a spacious balcony with no view but use full to take a break.
The receptions staff, I wrote in the app before arriving at the hostal (explaining the arriving time as 10-11am and the hosts told me that if the room was available they would give it to us immediately if not, they would keep our luggage) When we arrived at the Hostal the receptionist was unfriendly and when we mentioned the messages in the app she ignored them and increased her voice and told us that nobody could give us a room at 10am which was disappointing the way that she spoke with us. It is a good hostal but they must improve the customer service.

Verified reviewThe location is fantastic. The street is relatively quiet and less busy, but very close to Sol square. I even saw movie people filming on this street. Room is pretty small but it has all the essentials and very clear. Met all my needs. There was room service (making the bed, changing towl) everyday! Staffs are very helpful too. Helped me booked early morning taxi to the airport. In all, it has been a great experience staying here.
