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...).

Beautiful pool and terrace. We had the pool to ourselves all day too. Towels provided. Room was gorgeous with sofas and lovely terrace with sun loungers. I loved the artwork everywhere and the decor was lovely. We checked in early and staff were very friendly. Would highly recommend.

SpainSadly it dropped a few points from us as we felt it is more a restaurant than a hotel. Even pool hours limited, 3pm to 7pm in case it spoiled restaurant diners view, no early evening outside bar service only in a dark interior bar so whilst we enjoyed our stay we mostly went elsewhere in town. Even breakfast inside despite all the lovely terrace tables outside, Felt outside space was a view only, not for hotel residents,...
Lovely old pretty little boutique hotel well located to public parking and the town. Staff attentive and friendly.

SpainThe room description on Booking.com stated it included bathrobes and slippers which we didn´t have but that´s really not the end of the world. I would have preferred a double bed to two singles with a large sheet over the top but again, that was not a major problem, just a personal preference. Even so, the bed was very comfortable.
The location was fantastic, walking distance to the beach and to the centre of town but still very quiet. The room was beautifully decorated and the hotel in general has a lot of character. We had a great terrace from our room, very private, with lovely sea views. Even though our room was above the restaurant, it was extremely well insulated and we did not hear any noise at all. The breakfast was very good, friendly service and lots of choice. We were only there for one night so sadly we did not get chance to sample the restaurant.

Everything about this hotel was perfect for us and exceeded our expectations (which were high to start with!). The staff, location, food and drink and cleanliness were faultless. We will definitely be back for a return visit.

United KingdomThe hotel also has a lively restaurant and if you’re early to bed, you might be conscious of noise from the restaurant/ street, but overall Nerja is a little more genteel than most resorts on the Costa del Sol.
Comfortable bed in a characterful room in a charming hotel, with a beautiful garden & pool area in a delightful seaside town. Great breakfast. Welcoming staff - would love to stay longer next time.

United KingdomThe Feria was on so couldn’t get parked close Also due to the Feria we could hear music on well into the night, however this was just bad timing, not the hotels fault. The young girl whom opened the cafe, could have been a lot more helpful, we were given a paper menu on the table outside so we assumed that was the choice, however once I went in later in the day for a beer we discovered a good array of tapas to choose from. Her manners could definitely be improved also as everything we asked seemed to be a problem for her.
Location is fantastic, normally car parking very close They let us check in early as soon as the room was ready Great breakfast included Most of the staff were fantastic

United KingdomThe only thing I can suggest to improve our stay would be a small fridge in the room. There was a water cooler on the landing which you could help yourself to but to be able to keep chilled drinks in your room would be better.
Hotel is small and beautifully decorated. Location is central but just far enough away to be quieter. We had a sea view suite. Views spectacular. Fantastic breakfast. Lovely staff.

SpainNothing not to like.
A great place located within reach of everything, situated in a quiet street just off the main square. Good communication from booking and sending location of where to park near-by (20euro for a overnight stay) to checking in with friendly reception staff. Through the restaurant was a terrace with pool that overlooked the sea. Plenty of eating options close-by , we stayed on the night the hotel restaurant was closed (Monday) so didn't get to try a meal, but breakfast was tasty with options that were then prepared not Buffet style. Our room was clean , comfortable and a good size. We will definitely make a return visit.
