Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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 KingdomI always research fully when booking for us 5 ladies and one of the must haves was a pool. We were not allowed to use the pool for the full amount of the time we were there. There was some problem with the water. This was hugely disappointing to us all and feel we did not get what we paid for.
Plenty of room for us girls

United KingdomWhere do I start ? Lots of things were broken. Kitchen. Light did not work. Plug didn’t seal in the sink so couldn’t wash up. Lounge. Sofa very uncomfortable. Unit for tv broken. TV no instructions on how to remove Russian only TV channels. No WiFi codes given. Ones found on routers incorrect. Bedroom. Legs broken in bed. Unable to use air con as tripped electrics. Wardrobe full of stale bedding. No safe key so had to carry passports around with us for two weeks. No where to put clothes. Bathroom. The drain in the bath appears to be blocked so when having a shower you were stood in about 10cm of water. It did go down the plug hole but very slowly. Balcony. We were told it had a sea view. The view was of another building and Lidl. You could see about 10cm of the sea from a gap between the buildings. Not what I would call a sea view. The airer for drying your clothes had three bars broken. General. Plug sockets loose on the walls. Radiators cracked. Not the we needed to use them. Place definitely needs new furniture and revamping.
Its location was really good for walking into La Cala. For shops, restaurants, bars etc.

United KingdomFound the complex dark and creepy, wouldnt want to stay there alone. Locked gate to enter, then a door to enter complex unlocked. The gate could be climbed and anyone could enter?? Is that why the room doors are quadruple locks? If my husband went out, I was locked in because he needed the keys for the gate etc. Just found it odd. We sat on towels on the sofa as it looked stained, balcony was big with nice seating, but if you had the aircon on inside you couldnt hear anything. Not a reflection on the apartment, but if we went to La Cala again i would book an apartment that you didnt have to cross the motorway to get to the beach/town etc.
Spacious apartment with everything we needed in it, close to supermarket and some bars/restaurants. Big balcony. Clean complex. Cant comment on the pool as we didnt use it.

United KingdomThe staff were the most unhelpful I have never experienced before. We found the complex very much a local commumity and felt very unwelcome especially around the pool area so we spent most of our time going off the complex. As we were leaving the apartment on our last day the door closed with the key inside the door we went to the office at 9.45am to report this and met with a very unhelpfull representative of your company who straight away told us a locksmith would have to be called out and we would be charged but we witnessed the maintenance man coming out of room within 10 minutes of us being told this was not possible we contacted your local office who said a key had been found so we were able to enter and pick up passports and tickets that were left inside this was the key that was left in the door and was not a spare key.....I understand that if a locksmith had to be called out we would have been charged but please do not think that we are idiots this situation caused me so much distress and caused me to be taken ill on our flight home I am so saddend that our holiday ended on such a distressing end a bit more compassion would have meant a lot Patricia Clewley 07941 686118

Spotless modern beautifully decorated apartment on the ground floor which was perfect for access to lidl and to center of La cala and to the beach (@10mind) there is plenty of choice in Jardin botanico area for bars and restaurants a stones throw away . The pool was also fabulous and the whole complex was always spotless clean . Great communication to collect n drop off keys and a detailed map of where apartment was . We will definitely return .

IrelandNo issues with the property but terrible experience getting damage deposit back. I left the property in as good a condition as I found it and returned home. I remembered that I was due a 200 euro refund, I contacted letting agents 3 times through Booking.com and once directly by email, it has over two months now and no response. whatsoever. If you want your deposit back don’t book this property
property was presented well, it was comfortable, clean and well equipped

United KingdomThe flat was not clean. During our stay, the electricity fused three times, the boiler failed and had to be replaced. Three light bulbs had to be replaced, and the shower head broke. But these failures were rectified quickly. Not once did the office staff hint at apologising for any inconvenience. The coffee machine broke, the bedside lights did not work and I had to fix them myself. Only one teaspoon in the flat. We were told that the outside gate key did not work properly, which was true. The flat was tired and greasy, the sofa was smelly, the sheets and towels were not clean, but we washed them several times and they became pleasantly clean - they just hadn't been cleaned properly, just like the rest of the flat. Pillow cases were stained, mattress cover the wrong size and worn. No smoke or CO2 alarms. We had to wash all the plates and cutlery before using them. There is no facility for leaving cases when you have to vacate the flat at 10am. Not acceptable. Several nail holes in the walls, grouting in the bathroom and kitchen dirty and stained. Aside from that everything was great and we had a good time.
Good location, near facilities, bars restaurants & supermarket. Nice patio. Good TV & wifi
