Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

FinlandThe rating did not match. While I loved the common areas, the room was very tired. There were hols and tears in the sheets and the curtains. The textiles on the bed had stains in it. You should not get this in a four-star hotel. The room felt like a budget hotel. How much would it cost to replace sheets with proper ones? Not a big investment. We didn’t use the pool, but it is good to be award that it is in the shade most of the day. The hotel seemed to be staffed by mutes, ie the staff were not very outgoing, you could barely tell they were there. No smiles or hellos. Breakfast was adequate, but with limited selection.
The architecture was amazing and the place was beautiful. The location was great.

United KingdomWe didn't have a lounge that we could sit in for drinks. Bars that were in the hotel were closed most likely due to being off season.
Fantastic location, lovely comfortable hotel. Great for an out of season stay.

FinlandCan NOT change heating off to cooling. Air condition is locked to heating. Church bells ring every sharp hour, every 15 past, every half an hours and even 15 to next full hours (like 01:45, 11:45:112.45 etc..)
Breakfast is a very basic but OK. There are many small restaurants within 50-100 m proving breakfast from 10-15 e / person should you wish to elsewhere. Location in the old city. Restaurants and shops near. Nice small spa (20 e/1,5hours)

United KingdomShower had low pressure so more of a trickle than a flow and difficult to get the temperature right. This was the only grouse, everything else was good.
Location was good. Hotel was traditional with good breakfasts. The evening restaurant was one of the best around if not the best, pity it only opens on a few days. Rooms were very clean, although the beds had seen some wear so not the most comfortable. Quiet location very close to a pretty square, with cafes and the other good restaurant. The plaza square is the main attraction to the pueblo and gets lots of visitors. The Bus service covered main towns etc and was very cheap. If you want a change from the beach, this is the place to stay.

United KingdomEverything was great!
The hotel is beautiful and exactly as in the photos. We had a room on the ground floor which overlooked the restaurant. Unfortunately, the pool was closed and maintenance was being carried out but it didn't disturb us. The breakfast was great and even better for the amazing sunrise and panoramic views over the coast. We treated ourselves to a spa experience and highly recommend it. We didn't have treatments but as it was 11 am we had the whole place to ourselves. The lady explained everything and left us to enjoy the peace, wonderful! She even bought mint tea and water. The location is perfect and close to shops, bars, and restaurants. As we were there between Christmas and New Year, not everything was open, but we still had plenty of choice. The bus stop is a 5-minute walk and will take you to the newer part of town and the coat and marina in 20 minutes. It's a pleasant if long walk down, but coming back is uphill so it was great to have the option of public transport.

My wife and I love this small elegant hotel and have been here many times. It's a beautiful quiet setting for a romantic getaway and it's in a great location for visiting the many beautiful areas around it. Staff are pleasant, accommodation is comfortable and food on offer is very good. Just a great place to get away to relax and chill.

United KingdomMy wife and I had made a special choice to stay at the La Fonda after spending a week there five years ago. One of the things we were looking forward to was the restaurant and also the option of having a drink in the hotel after supper. I was more than surprised when told neither the bar or the restaurant were open. I was rather taken aback, as it should have been pointed out to us at the time of the booking. We were most disappointed.
Helpfulness of the staff. Location within the pueblo. Views from the bedroom. General ambience and character of the hotel.
