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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

great location and very friendly and helpful staff; Internet worked surprisingly well and rooms were also cleaned every day; unlike many other reviews, the outside noise did not bother me much

SpainDecoration is a bit old and tired. Negative side of being so centraly placed on Grand Via, is that there was a lots of noise coming from the street on Friday night.
It was extremly central and close to everything. Very friendly and helpful staff in the hotel. Everything was very clean.

Extremely convenient, right on Gran Via, in the heart of actions, friendly helpful staffs, good value for money. Yes, it is a bit older, but it does the job to keep you there, decent wifi, ask for a room at the back, not facing Gran Via.lots of restaurants at the door steps, lots of choices of different kind and budgets.

United KingdomOur room overlooking Gran Via was a little noisy, they stay up late in Madrid.
We wanted somewhere to stay in Central Madrid while exploring the city for a few days, with parking and at a reasonable price. Hotel Excelsior ticked all the boxes. Pretty Central on Gran Via, we walked to most places, did catch the tube a couple of times. Staff friendly and helpful. Decor and furniture a little tired but functional. Bathroom was small. We had twin beds which were comfortable but quite springy, double mattress might not be. No food but plenty of bars & restaurants close by.

Location can’t get any better! Right in the middle of Gran Via. Very near to multiple metro stops: Callao (nearest), Sol, Plaza España, Sto.Domingo, Noviciado. Very nice staff and very clean. Had a small bouquet of flowers and when we came back, the cleaning lady had put them in a jar with water. :) We will be back!

GibraltarIt wasn't crucial for us but you can hear everything what is going on in the hostel from your room :). And I missed electric kettle in the room.
Location is just excellent, everything is near, you don't have to use any transport (except airport). Staff is very friendly and helpful, special thanks for the hot water in the first evening :)). Very simple but clean room, you can find there all you need for your stay - double bed, wardrobe, table, 2 chairs, sockets near the bed.
