Each review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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...).

Probably wouldn't stay on the Las Ramblas side. Balcony was nice but it rained so we didn't use it. Alot of street noise which we expected.
Everything. Food and drinks were good. Unfortunately it rained all day so we just relaxed in our room. Been to Barcelona before so we didn't miss anything.

Since we lived in the 3rd floor we had to leave and take the key to/from the reception in the first floor, which was sometimes inconvenient. The breakfast buffet had limited, but in general was decent
Great location quite building helpful and polite staff great service the 24hours buffet and free access to Coffee machines, soft drinks and drinking water.

It was tired in places, breakfast was very limited. Two rooms are next to the lounge room by reception. One guest complained about the noise so the staff blocked off the lounge room. I really don’t think all guests should be blocked from the lounge because of one guest.
Location was great, right in the middle of everything

We did not like the sound of running water intermittently during the night, which seemed to be emanating from the floor above which was not part of the hotel.
The room was very comfortable, especially the bed. The location, at the top of La Rambla, was perfect. The breakfast was very good 'Continental'. An all-day buffet was available free of charge.

You have food 24hr, but they need to put more varieties becasue they have the same every day. There was a homeless outside the hotel sleeping , and everybody can access to the building, but the have camera and security.
The location is excellent, you can take bus or taxi just stepping out the hotel or walk to las ramblas, gothic quarter, etc. It is close to everything.

I feel like the decor needs updating as for a hotel in a hot country to have carpets and wallpaper, its very warm even if you use ac.
The location of the hotel was great . Walk straight out and there's lots of shops and restaurants. Walking distance to a cathedral and 30 minutes walk to the beach.
