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.).

The location was great and the hotel was historic and authentic. The dining area was a former patio so they were rooms that looked down on it. Very quaint, very nice.

United KingdomIt is a bit complicated to reach the hotel in the heart of Avila, but the very clear instructions we received in advanced reduced the stress, even though it involved ignoring a number of ‘No entry’ signs! They take your car registration number, so you don’t get fined later on by the authorities.
Great location right by the city walls of Avila. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was excellent

United StatesThere is nothing we didn't like. The hotel had charm. The staff was helpful. The breakfast was good and the dinner was great!
Location near the wall was excellent and the hotel was so nice. The breakfast was very good. We ate dinner there as well and the food was really excellent. The staff was helpful. Not much English is spoken, but a little bit of Spanish and a phone translator program was good enough! We followed the hotel's directions (sent by email prior to our stay) and found the hotel very easily.

United KingdomThe hotel is a delightful oasis of calm in a busy, tourist-filled part of Ávila, close to the cathedral and major squares, and placed halfway between two of the major entryways through the famous city walls. The accommodation is wonderful, with rooms decorated and furnished in a traditional Castilian manner. Our room was comfortably large and well lit, and the bathroom spacious and clean with a large and efficient shower. Breakfast is generous, the attached bar pleasant and lively, the restaurant genteel and reserved, and the adjoining terrace delightful and fun - dining al fresco beneath the ancient city walls.

United Kingdom* The fact that the room was exactly above the terrace... People enjoying their time drinking until 2am+ was a bit difficult to get some sleep.
* Location is superb. You can see the Avila Walls from some of the room windows. And it is just a few steps away from the Cathedral and the centre of the ancient town. * The building itself is beautiful, and decoration is stunning. * Not good or bad, just if you go by car, be aware of the tricky road you should take to get to the hotel parking. We had to call the hotel so he could explain to us manoeuvre to manoeuvre to get there.

SpainVery old telephone in the room, yellowed. The channels on the TV were organised in a weird way, like there were two different channels representing one channel (numbers 5 and 6 for example) one was standard definition and the next one HD but it's the same channel... Just eliminate the standard definition version to provide a more coherent experience for the sake of the guest.
Nice location, nice building. Breakfast, tolerable.
