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 KingdomThere was nothing at all we could fault. The only advice for drivers who are nervous is that the A402 is a busy twisting road and it is easy to miss the turn which means carrying on a fair distance before it is safe to turn around. The approach to the hotel down the lane is only 0.2kms but quite narrow and steep. If you are hiring a car in this area a small Corsa type is easier than a huge SUV.
From the moment of arrival this beautiful small hotel oozed peace and comfort. The 3 sisters who own and run it could not do more for us in a totally efficient but understated way. The location is stunning, food cooked to order was lovely, rooms very comfortable and well appointed and a big clean swimming pool with sun loungers for everyone. Gracias!

Run by 3 lovely sisters, this was a special hotel. Very clean and comfortable. We arrived at the end of some unusually bad weather for the season. Breakfast was lovely. In the evening we would go back and have a drink in the sitting room of the hotel. We are familiar with the area, which we already love. Would recommend

United KingdomThe road to get in was unpaved and rough. But was still fine to get there. It is a little far from the main Malaga city if you want that but its great for a hiking or relaxing getaway.
Absolutely loved our stay. It is run by 3 lovely sisters who were very accommodating. It was very clean, relaxing and breakfast every morning was great. We had asked for halal meat if possible and they managed to even get some halal salami for us for breakfast! There was parking available on site.

United KingdomThere's nothing to dislike. Maybe individually controlled bed lamps would be better to have in the room, but lack of this would not stop us from going back.
Very nice rooms and good breakfast with lovely common spaces and great views. Excellent staff and spot on bar prices of food and drinks. Good swimming pool and well maintained garden areas.

United KingdomThe fact that I didn't stay for lunch or dinner during my stay due to other commitments. I trust would have enjoyed it immensely. Maybe some other time perhaps.
It was a very tranquil environment and area .Free parking .Very relaxing retreat .Didn't use the swimming pool ( due to other commitments),but I liked it a lot. My room was clean and very spacious. The air condition worked perfectly .The bathroom was big enough for one or two people would fit comfortably. Enough supply of shampoo and body wash,towels, toilet paper .Had a bidet too which was an added bonus .Breakfast was good for me again .Sisters were very attentive, and fresh fruit ,fresh juice ,fresh coffee with milk and tasty scrambled eggs with bacon offered each day ( I liked it a lot ), and varieties of bread too. The thing which I appreciated it a lot is that I arrived late due to the delays with the flight ,and upon sending a message via booking. com the keys were left for me in a safe place ,and that made the day as well as a peaceful night's sleep .Thank you Ladies. 🌹

BahrainA problem which l mentioned to the hosts. The room has no window. So, as not to sleep without fresh air or with air con ( which would be a crime in this environment full of sent of lowers) on has to leave the garden door open , inviting everything or everyone to walk in at night. I slept with " one eye open".
The hosts make every effort to offer an enjoyable stay. Room is nice and convenient, looking out to a common garden. Breakfast is excellent. Afternoons on the picturesque pool did everything to recharge the batteries from long mountain hikes . Parking is no problem.

United KingdomOne of the attractions of this property would be it’s isolated location, but the lane ( I use the term loosely) leading down to the hotel from the A402 is not very well made, and is not easy to navigate in the dark. The car park is very small and awkward to manoeuvre around if the hotel is fully occupied. There are no streetlights or pavements on this lane and although visitors to the area would be there for hiking the mountains, there is nowhere to walk to from the hotel itself.
This is a lovely small boutique hotel, situated on the side of a mountain with stunning views across the valley to the village of Alcaucin. The three sisters who run this establishment have given the property a homely traditional feel with well thought out decor, and immaculate gardens. The pool area is attractive with ample sun beds and shade if required. There are only 9 rooms in this hotel and all have a small terrace facing the valley. The beds were comfortable and there was a large wardrobe for storage. The bathroom was well appointed with a shower over the partly sunken bath. The Breakfast menu was extensive, served at the table either indoor, on the terrace or in the garden, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The rooms were well serviced and nice and fresh when we came back to the hotel later in the day.
