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.).

DenmarkThe breakfast was not great, only industrial pastries, very white bread and cheap ham. Moreover everything was wrapped in individual plastic containers, they should start considering sustainability.

United KingdomThe hotel is quite basic and slightly dated.
The Hotel is situated in the middle of the most stunning Pico’s de Europa. We were able to put our bikes in the garage of the hotel. It has got a nice outside area for drinks and food.

AustraliaDinner wasn't great, but given the remote location the food was suitable enough to fuel for hiking. Pillows were also pretty flat but that seems to be the norm across most hotels.
The perfect location to explore the Cares Gorge. Rooms were clean and staff were great, breakfast was simple and suitable.

GermanyNo frills, clean and very reasonably priced little hotel in an ideal position for hiking through Garganta del Cares or up to Bulnes and the central Picos. Parking here saves a lot of headache at this very popular destination and allows for an early startt or late return to avoid the worst of the crowds. The food served in the evening a la carte for hotel guests is cheap and decent.

NetherlandsNice hotel, very close to the hiking trails. We stayed with our 3 month old baby, which was no problem at all. We were there outside the season during the week, so not many other guests, but the restaurant was still open for us (breakfast and dinner). We loved the bean stew! Very friendly staff, who even helped to comfort our baby when he was crying. Also handy that there's private parking, because it can get busy on weekends and during holidays.
