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.).

IrelandI liked everything about my stay.
Lovely friendly hotel in a small town full of history. Everything I needed for my stay was available. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. As a solo traveller, I just needed a single room. This had a very comfortable single bed, and the room had an ensuite. The room was serviced each day. Breakfast had a lot of variety, an excellent selection of fruit, meats and cheese. The lovely garden was a great bonus for relaxing in shade when it was very hot. A quick train ride into Girona meant I had the best of both worlds.

SpainIt would have been nice to have some soap in the bathroom (maybe it was just forgotten by the cleaning staff). Starting the breakfast only at 8:30 was a bit too late for me. The room can be decorated a bit better and the empty spaces filled with something, in order to create a more cozy atmosphere.
Very good location, a few steps away from all the important points of the town. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable room.

CanadaThey were running a diesel generator when I got there and the whole hotel and courtyard was filled with fumes and it was super noisy . They said it was for security .. I suggest they run the exhaust pipe out of the main courtyard or at least direct it to the side .. extremely uncomfortable and my breathing was definitely affected and the hotel smelled like a truck stop . They seemed very annoyed when I questioned them about it ..
Parking inside in the courtyard . Very clean ,

United KingdomI don't have much to say because I stayed just a night. But, maybe breakfast should have some facilities like kettle, toaster etc .. but I understand it is another country where probably isn't usual to have those things.
Fabrellas is a lovely place to stay. After having some adventurous days in Barcelona, it was nice to visit the town Caldes de Malavella. Also, a good location and fabulous customer service. I really like everything in this place, miraculously clean, so peaceful to sleep. Nice to have a good rest. I love the style of the place and how everything is very good maintained.

United KingdomCan't think of anything bad. It is what it is; a place to rest up a bit, not a luxury hotel.
Came here in 1989, backpacking as a teenager. Back again. Was a welcome sanctuary of rest back then, been the same now. The town is nice too. Cafe Rosa, just round the corner: great hosts, fresh meals made while you wait.

IrelandI would prefer if they made it perfectly clear that the parking entrance belongs to the hostal.
Excellent location in the middle of the historic, medieval town. Having private parking at no extra price is a big plus. The old town consists of narrow one way streets with mostly no possibility to park. Yes, the room is very basic but that is known at the time of booking. It was quiet clean. What I like best about it is the courtyard where you can relax in a nice atmosphere, under the trees and can eat breakfast there. I’m not sure the breakfast is worth the money as it’s mostly bread and baked things. See the pic.

This is a very convenient hostal, set in the historical part of Caldes - Roman ruins at walking distance provides a nice stroll in the evening- Lovely patio a the back of the property where you can safely park your car for free. Dog friendly. Lovely helpful receptionist. Friendly restaurant nearby with hearthy Spanish fares at excellent prices.
