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 KingdomThe bed was very uncomfortable ,
The property is on the seafront at Benajarafe next to a busy main road. There is a car park behind the hostal- no charge and easy to access. The room was spotlessly clean with a good en-suite and a powerful shower. I stayed for a night on my way to the airport - absolutely fine for this, but not for a week's holiday. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming.

Czech RepublicAccommodation has nice balcony with sea view, superb swimming pool and it's close to the beach. It's calm location, close to Málaga but less crowded with plenty of restaurants nearby. Restaurant Esperanza is also very good so you don't need to go anywhere. Highly recommended.

United KingdomNothing - although the parakeets out the back were quite noisy at times 😛
Everything you could wish for from a beachfront Hostal. Clean spacious room, comfy bed, balcony with sea view, attractive pool, good bathroom, helpful staff, ample parking - and an excellent restaurant (separate business) for breakfast & lunch (until 6pm). Just an overnight stop for us: good choice of walkable beachfront restaurants for dinner - very welcome after long day’s travel. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful & very cheap: fresh orange, tasty coffee, plus choice of lightly toasted pitufos (medium) or Viena (large) baguettes with huge selection of fillings - chopped tomato & oil (like bruschetta) is recommended,, which we shared with ‘mixed’ ie warm ham/cheese & a toasted pitufo with jam to follow. We noted a few negative reviews here about staff. But In our experience all the staff we met were very friendly & helpful. Maybe language barriers & not keeping to the clear advice checkin/out times are to blame?

1st time staying here and have just rebooked for later in the year. Basic very clean little hotel. Parking. Overlooking beach. Location is wonderful. Bedrooms got everything you need including telly and air conditioning. Little balcony with sea view. Bathroom totally functional and very clean. The hotel has a restaurant right by it. Very good Spanish food. Good prices. Just 2 minutes walk more restaurants which makes it just a great location. Pool wasn’t open but looks so inviting. For the price I totally recommend

SloveniaSmall shower, no fridge in the room in case you travel in the period when it is hot. Room in quite small, so there's no space to put down the suitcase (wardrobe is in the room).
Location next to the beach. Restaurant next to the building, possibility for breakfast and dinner. Free parking for the car. Kind staff which was available all the time during our stay. View from the balcony to the pool and sea was great. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Clean room and bathroom.
