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.).

NetherlandsPool was closed. But everything else was perfect!
Check in was easy and quick. Very friendly staff, who spoke enough English to make it easy for us. The room is very nice, light and clean. Very good bed. Beautiful garden. Sadly the pool was closed. Breakfast was more than enough for us. Parking is free in the streets.

United KingdomThere was nowhere to get a drink or anything to eat when we arrived after a 2 hour drive! Not even water!The bar didn't open untill 20:00 and there were no shops or bars nearby. Not even a vending machine. The dining room was very cold and draughty. Everyone was eating in their coats. I was worried I was going to catch a cold, as I was shivering at one point. I mentioned it to the staff but no one took any notice. We had full board: The food wasn't great. We were sorry we'd eaten in.
Friendly welcome. Comfy bed.

AustraliaThe air conditioner was very noisy. Unfortunately the pool was closed which wasn’t clear when we booked.
A lovely relaxed and friendly stay. The room was comfortable. The bed was pretty good. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the hotel grounds were peaceful. A short walk to the beach and pretty convenient to the ferry to Cadiz.

PortugalThat I had to book a room with a balcony and pay extra around 30 euros to check-in with my little dog. Even after the approval of the standard room by the hosts. Breakfast is very simple, but could have just boiled eggs, because only bread with ham and cheese is not enough.
The rooms are very simple, but clean and bright. The territory is green with a lot of trees, which makes it looks cozy.

SpainThe facilities seems to be quite vintage, which doesn't bother me, but some of them are basically malfunctioning. For example, that thing that allows you to change the water flow of the shower could end up in your hand, if you try to use it.
That was a nice experience. Quite an interesting hotel with some greenery and a pool. I quite liked the restaurant area and especially the outside (terraza) - there is enough of shade to enjoy your drink in a quite place. And I think this is the most definitive characteristic of the hotel - if you are looking for super relaxing stay away from the buzz, definitely give it a try. The location further helps in that regard - there are not too many things to do around, which in that case could be a good thing. There are few restaurants though where you can try something different than what the hotel offers and a hiking area within a kilometer. Other than that maybe you can grab a book and enjoy a relaxing day around the pool? Oh, yes, I forgot to mention - the staff is amazing and super friendly.

United StatesOne of the rooms we stayed in was over the kitchen freezer and the motor kept us up all night. Room number 108. We requested a change for next night and they kindly agreed and moved us to a different one. They rooms new some upkeep and screens for mosquitos which did not have and we were dealing with several and big ones at night as well. The buffet breakfast could use better quality ingredients and add some eggs.

United KingdomOn arrival it smelt nice but in the morning I woke up to a strong bad smell from the toilet, I had to open up the windows which helped a little, I think the sewage systems need a lot more maintenance. Apart from that the room was clean and tidy.
