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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Czech RepublicJust a little thing to be aware of, please be advised that there are no appliances (except for the community fridge) and no kitchen equipment, so if you just want to spread butter on a slice of bread you run into a problem (or just have to run down to a Ferretería to buy a small knife)
It was a really nice and comfortable stay, the equipment and the design is really nice and newish. Great location in a quite calm city quarter, yet close to the city center and especially the wonderful big park. Especially well suited for shorter stays, I'd definitely come back again

I loved every moment in the wonderful Madrid at Hostal Arco Iris. 🥰 Perfect location, perfect transportation, peaceful, clean and safe area. I loved my room, I loved the building and the whole area. The building is wonderful, and my room was lovely, super clean and very comfortable. 🥰 Thank you for your hospitality, Doris! See you next time!

The location is very good, in a nice neighborhood close to the Retiro park. The room is very clean and big enough for two people to settle. The staff is kind.

AustraliaAs is the case with most buildings in historic cities, the soundproofing could be an issue. You rely on the consideration of others to keep noise to a minimum. Could be an issue for some, but during my stay the hostel seemed to have attracted the kind of guest that adheres to hostal etiquette.
Cutest little hostal I’ve stayed in yet! The staff have very limited English, but if you’re prepared to use Google Translate or similar, they’ll go out of their way to accommodate your every need. Rooms are clean and well ventilated and heating and A/C is controlled by each individual room. Neighbourhood appears very safe and well connected to public transport (though very walkable to the city centre.) The nearby park is stunning and the hostal is conveniently located near restaurants and grocery/convenience stores.

HungaryI can accept if the apt has no kitchen(ette). But a common kitchen where you can (at least) boil water for your coffee/tea would be great

GermanyThere is no hair dryer and hand towel in the rooms. If it had an extra small towel and a hair dryer, it would definitely deserve a 10/10 rating for me.
The location of the facility is in a nice neighborhood. Although walking into the city can be a bit tiring, it is a good alternative for those who want to explore the city on foot. Also away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

United StatesI got a little guilt trip from the host/reception for having a late check in. They wanted to charge me more for coming late (I had a late flight, what can I do?) Ultimately they helped me out and it went smoothly, but something they should have a system for!!
All you need for a short stay in Madrid. Private bathroom, clean, and quiet. Near Retiro and reasonable walking distance to major tourist destinations

SpainConsidering the comfort I received for such a price, I cannot find any issues.
Considering the price of the room, hostel location (30min walk / 10min taxi from the central station), and overall service, I'd say it's a perfect choice for budget traveling. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The AC worked perfectly, which was appreciated during hellish summer days in Madrid. Recommend!
