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 StatesThere is no bellman. The front desk, if available, can you help with your luggage. There is also no reserved space for loading/unloading. We found contractor vans and other cars in that location and had to wait quite a bit. The furnishings are fairly attractive to look at, but most of it is pretty cheap feeling.
The breakfast buffet was very good as long as you didn't show up late, as they put things away quickly. The windows in the room open for fresh air. There are two elevators that worked well. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The location is amazing. Retiro is right across the street and there are a ton of quality restaurants within walking distance. We found a good deal so the value was okay.

United StatesI didn't like the price for the breakfast. Perhaps it is appropriate for someone who eats a lot, but I generally need just a cup of coffee and perhaps something small. The price seemed steep for this. So I had to walk around and look for breakfast somewhere else.
I liked the location - close to everything. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable. I didn't have breakfast, but I did have dinner and it was nice. The service was great

TurkeyThe exterior of the hotel is beautiful but the interior definitely needs renovation. The bathrooms are relatively renovated but the furnitures and bathroom old fashioned.
This is not my first time in Madrid so I chose this location on purpose. The location and the neighborhood are great, it's a quality street. Not far from the center either. Stuff is very helpful. The breakfast is very rich.

United KingdomThere should have been an armchair in the room, otherwise, there is nothing to sit on, except for the bed and a chair by the desk. Some sort of lock/latch on a bathroom door would be welcome too
Excellent breakfast, good shower, very easy to manage A/C and park view from the room. Easy to manage a safe box, just remember to use your bankcard, not the room card. It really does make you feel secure when you need to keep your documents safe. Elevators are fast and reliable but try a staircase from the top floors at least once. You'll enjoy it.

United StatesI went in April and the AC is not on, so basically you need to sleep with the windows open, and curtains open so the breeze can come into the room. so you hear noises and the sun wakes you up. I wish there was the option of turning on the A/C. That would have made this stay 10/10.
INCREDIBLE BREAKFAST. Outstanding location, impossible to have a better location. Clean, very nice and good rooms. Best shower!!!

United KingdomThe decor at the hotel is somewhat style over comfort - the grey/black/white colour scheme is not to our liking. The shower tray was very slippery - dangerous - but no bathmats were offered. Also, there was only one comfortable armchair in the room for two people - the other two items (the plastic chair and the stool) were not comfortable to use, certainly not at our age:).
Excellent location - a walking distance from many important tourist sites. Good breakfast - sufficient variety of foods, good quality fresh bread, fruit, cheeses, etc. Pleasant and helpful staff. Comfortable beds and great light blocking curtains ensured a good night sleep. Helpful and pleasant staff.
