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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United KingdomTV in the room was extremely old and slow and not really in keeping with the class of this hotel. Really needs updating. Breakfast was fair but not at the level I expected for the price or hotel.
Stunning hotel in a fantastic location right in the middle of town. Large comfortable rooms and beautiful interior. All staff were extremely polite and helpful. Really lovely outdoor seating area where we had drinks overlooking the garden.

SpainThe bed was very comfortable, though the room felt somewhat outdated, particularly given the price and the fact that it’s a 5-star hotel.
The building is stunning and located right in the center, but in a very quiet street.

SpainOverall, I enjoyed my stay in this hotel. However, below there are a couple of constructive points about what could be improved. - Although the mattress is extremely comfortable, the pillows are bobbly. - Although I did enjoy the breakfast choices, other omelette options were not mentioned by the staff.
My stay in the hotel was excellent. - I felt very welcomed by everybody. - The hotel was meticulously cleaned and the atmosphere was awesome. The quietness of the room was perfect allowing a very good quality sleep. - The breakfast buffet was also great: a wide variety of choices and high quality food. - The location was amazing: 5 min from the centre of the city.

United StatesThe room had 3 steps down to the bathroom of which I wasn't aware. Though very safe, it still may pose a challenge for some seniors, especially in the middle of the night. The bathroom was beautifiul! Also, our room was near the elevator and you could hear it running. One night I heard a high pitch whining sound that lasted for a half hour. I thought it was some type of alarm or an elvator alarm. The staff told me there were no alarms going off that night, so it must have been whining from water going through some pipes, maybe someone was drawing a bath late at night?
The breakfast is phenominal! I think the breakfast was one of the loveliest of my life, no kidding. No comparison to the breakfast we received at the other four star hotels we visited...this was 'top notch' in every respect! Fresh Raspberry juice! Lovely garden area to enjoy a cocktail or two. Great location, beautul building!

However, the best part of the property is the staff; I want to specially mention the wonderful lady Margot who works at reception. She was super helpful, proactive in understanding needs and providing help. Margot did make our stay special at Dukes Palace
