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 StatesWe didn't dine at the property as there was only a set menu offered and you had to let them know in advance. There was a real sense of pared down staff and a multitude of text messages regarding dining, menu and doing an automatic check in. It was borderline annoying. The setting for the dining area is gorgeous but I got the feeling that it is only used for special events, which is a shame.
The setting is beautiful, the back deck is lovely for an evening drink, the river and the lagoon behind the property is beautiful, and the pool terrific. We loved how isolated it is and yet how close to Ronda at only 15 mins by car.

AustraliaThere was a large group celebrating with a dinner function during our stay - they were very noisy and I don’t think this kind of event is compatible with the small, quiet retreat that the property offers. We found it very intrusive and were disappointed with that aspect.
Views over the mountains were wonderful, the bed was comfortable, the outdoor lounge area was beautiful and the service was very kind.

Stunning location, next to the Cueva del Gato and nestled overlooking the hills. Perfectly located for hiking, exploring the Pueblos Blancos or just relaxing by the pool. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Really appreciated the wine in our room and local produce at breakfast.

GermanyNothing! Just be aware that you need 1€ in total to getting to the property by car as there is a barrier on top of the road for the cave parking – but you get the amount back from the property :)
We loved everything – the many animals (three sweet dogs, one affectionate cat, a donkey(!), chickens and geese), the beautiful place itself, the fantastic breakfast and lovely details. The communication was great, fast and very helpful. We cannot recommend enough to stay here and enjoy this wonderful place. There is an amazing nature pool (icecold) and waterfall by the nearby closed cave.

Hotel set in amazing location. Very peaceful. The pool was perfect for relaxing after a walk by the river. Staff was just so friendly. Liked the digital access. No problems communications with staff. Really enjoyed all the animals, dogs, at, ducks, donkeys. Dogs are Mastiffs so very large but amazingly gentle.

United KingdomThe set menu seemed like a great idea for the day of arrival but it was overpriced for what it turned out to be. For €60 p/p without drink we thought of a gourmet experience. It was tasty but def not special. With one staff doing all the waiting and cooking is probably a bit over ambitious. Then we didn’t realise we’d be hearing the train (infrequently) thundering past at such close proximity. But you get used to it.
The location and its rural setting. Very Friendly staff, fantastic pool. Easy check in/out, honesty bar. Close to the cave, 15 min drive to Ronda.

IsraelThe only thing was the check in process - it felt like a hassle to be honest. We arrived after 5 pm after we booked the place last minute. There was nobody there to even let us in the parking space. We did receive an email asking us to check in online - we filled out the information they asked for but didn't receive explanation on how to enter the parking and how to enter the room. Another guest who was there opened the parking gate for us. Eventually after talking to Vanessa on the phone she sent an employee who let us in the room and all was good. Another thing is that after we checked in we didn't receive the code for the parking gate, so when we came back late at night we couldn't open the gate (but we called Vanessa and she helped us...it was after 10 pm and I was surprised she even answered, so really great service! But it would be better to give the code when the guest checks in).
The location was beautiful, in the middle of nature - nothing better than to have a morning walk and find out there's a small lake and a cave you can walk into, just 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Breakfast was special, with products they make in the farm. Vanessa was very kind to us and helped with recommendations for Ronda and where to park the car while there. The beds were comfortable and the shower was warm and nice. Everything was clean and there was a calm atmosphere.

I’m not sure, but the simplicity and being left alone was perfect for me. The staff, animals were great also. Extremely friendly. The hotel isn’t modern luxury, it’s rustic Andalusian.

United KingdomI liked everything, I cannot think of any negatives.
I loved that it was tranquil and their animals were able to roam freely - their chickens, dogs and cat. All beautiful and made my day. It was a lovely, hot day and one of the dog was chilling, but as i decided to walk into their lush plot of home grown vegetables, she got up and gave me a tour and I obligingly followed. I want to thank the chefs for making my dinner and breakfast, and I must say, what a wonderful meal! Totally fit for a queen!!!!! I even got to see the proprietor and his beautiful family. Thank you for such a wonderful stay. I will be back for sure.
