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 KingdomThe breakfast coffee from the machine was terrible. There is also filter coffee available but not easily spotted. This is acceptable but still not good when coffee in Spain is usually reliably so. Not much usable floor space for the price in the room.
We had a twin room with balcony and sea view. The view was fabulous. It was fairly quiet all day and overlooked the pool. Very clean. The balcony was great - once we had lunch there, and we often had a drink. Worth the extra cost. The Panorama restaurant served excellent food at a good price. The baked cheesecake was amazing. Staff were all friendly and professional. Location for us was perfect, as it was quiet and peaceful. 15 minutes walk inland takes you to Move and Go, where you can swim in the pool and use the gym/ do classes for 12 euros a day. Yogurt and nice bread available for breakfast. You can eat breakfast outside if you want.

IrelandThe family rooms are slightly disappointing, the 2 kids had to share a sofa bed but would have much preferred twin beds for them.
The property was better than we had expected for a 3 star hotel. The location is right at the far end of the beach, so a bit of a walk into town.

United KingdomPrice of the breakfast was a bit steep. We decided to go to the cafe 2 minutes walk away which wasuch cheaper and delicious.
The hotel was lovely. We had a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea. Very comfortable and clean. Staff excelled themselves, helping us with a problem. We only ate at the hotel restaurant once as we wanted more food options, but there are plenty of walkable choices with a variety of tasty offerings. Fantastic location. The pool area was also amazing, with a stunning infinity pool and plenty of sun loungers.

This was a lovely beach hotel in Santander, situated right on the beachfront. The staff were great, provided me a kettle when I asked for it and also said there was a gym we could use nearby. If you are someone who likes to gym it is worth asking them about this.
