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.).

It was in the centre of a small medieval village, which we could see in distance as we approached. We ate outside in the hotel restaurant that evening overlooking the square. Both Eva and her husband were really helpful and friendly.

United StatesThis hotel is fantastic. The owner makes you feel special from the moment you arrive. The suit was fantastic with a great view and very spacious. The hotel also has a restaurant with a phenomenal chef. We were lucky Jesus cooked for us both days. The location is very good for hiking, you can walk to the trails right outside the door of the hotel.

United KingdomThe only thing was the plug for the bath wasn't big enough, so my bath wasn't very long because water was slowly escaping. However, I'm sure if I had remembered to say, or ask for another plug, they would have accommodated - I just forgot to say and was already in the bath when I realised.
The hosts were super lovely, went above and beyond to ensure my stay was great. They were super friendly. The room itself was so nice, super clean and the bed was super comfy. Also loved that I had a bath in my room, and a small fridge. The decor throughout the hotel was done really well and in keeping with the location. It's right on the square in a small, country town. Very quiet. The hotel restaurant was also fabulous - would definitely recommend going there on your stay.

United KingdomAccess by car is limited due to narrow old streets if you have an SUV, but there is a large and secure car park not too far from the castle.
Excellent conversion of an old building next to a medieval castle in an ancient pyrennean hill town. Beautiful room in lovely surroundings with interesting and quirky decorative details. Outstanding food in the restaurant and at breakfast.

SpainIt was perfect.
Great location in the center of Santa Pau. Beautiful decoration in the room, bathroom and common areas. All decoration is tailor themed as one of the ancestors was a tailor (=sastre in Catalan). Breakfast was excellent and abundant, with high quality products and served at the table with excellent service. Impecable service from all personnel and the host at the hotel who not only were nice but went above and beyond providing tips on the places to visit in the surrounding area. Thank you for being great hosts and made this stay so special!
