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...).

Overall, the hotel was decent. The only real issue we had was with the room type - we needed a twin room with two separate beds. And this particular room (maybe it’s different in others) felt a bit worn out. For example, the soap holder fell off the wall, and one of the light bulbs burned out. The beds were comfortable, but we were confused by the bedding. The duvet wasn’t inside a cover - instead, there was a sheet, then the duvet, and then another sheet on top. That’s just not hygienic. The duvet can shift around, and who knows how many people have touched it? Honestly, what were they thinking? Breakfast was okay, but the fruit wasn’t tasty, which was surprising - we’re in Spain, after all. The coffee wasn’t good either. That said, the rest of the breakfast was acceptable. I’d rate the hotel around 8 out of 10. The quality was good, the location was great, and the staff seemed friendly. One important thing to mention: the blackout curtains in the room were excellent - they really blocked out the light, so the room stayed nice and dark. Also, it was pleasantly cool inside, which was a welcome escape from the Spanish heat. However, everything that happens in the hallway is very audible in the room - the sound insulation is quite poor.

Renovations were taking place and completed in the reception area while we were there. We had no notification or explanation about this. They then held a celebration for the completion of work leaving nowhere for paying guests to sit & have a drink. Disappointing!! This was one of the reasons that we chose this hotel. Went to the hotel along the road & it was excellent.
Location was perfect. Breakfast had a good selection but wasn’t always replenished & ran out of breakfast tea.

The room wasn’t ready when we checked in at 3pm so we had to wait, yet still we had to pay full price even though it stated check in is at 3pm. When I queried this, the lady was very rude. For a triple room, we never got enough toilet roll and clean towels. We often had to request for more.
The hotel was lovely and in an excellent location! The rooms were nice and the decor was modern. The whole feel of the hotel was great! Would definitely recommend this hotel!
