How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewWe liked the cleanliness, the location and the friendliness of the employees. We got good recomendations on where to go on our way out of Cabo de Gata. Fresh fruit and good cake for breakfast.
The yoghurt on the breakfast table is not cold.

Verified reviewThe hotel was very clean. They clean the room everyday, even when we hanged the "Do not disturb" sign by the door. They were very helpful with recommendations in Cabo de gata. The neighborhood is peaceful yet still close to restaurants and grocery stores. We also like that the hotel is close to the beach and other beaches and hiking areas.🙂
The breakfast is very simple. The yogurt is not cold.

Verified reviewProperty was located in a good position about 100m from the beach. Free parking outside the property. Nice pool area and downstairs breakfast area which was included in the price. Basic rooms with terrace but spotlessly clean. Friendly staff.
The only thing is that the shower curtains in the bathroom could be replaced with a screen. Only our personal preference.

Verified reviewWithin (short) walking distance to beach and restaurants. Excellent breakfasts were provided. This is family owned, the staff is the family who were very nice and accommodating. The room was small but had a small terrace which was wonderful. There is a swimming pool on the premises and outdoor places to sit and enjoy the sunshine. There is a nice garden with well kept and labeled plants surrounding the property. The whole place was clean and very homey.
Nothing.

Verified reviewLovely accomodation in a peaceful location, not far from a supermarket (for those important snacks) and also a short walk from the main beach. The double rooms have a reasonable amount of space and a useable balcony overlooking a botanical garden. A working fridge is always great Excellent. Had a kind invitation to use their continental breakfast area in the morning. I didn't get the chance to have a splash in the pool outside, but it looked good. I did get a chance to try out a nearby curry house venue just up the road. Overall, a budget location run by lovely people. Less than 5 minutes walk from the Autocares Bernardo coach stop, from Almeria.
I am struggling to think of things that I didn't like.

Verified reviewSmall, clean, well run hotel located in a quiet side street a few hundred metres from the coast and centre of town. Comfortable room with a nice patio overlooking the owner's well maintained and interesting garden. Easy street parking right outside hotel. Fairly basic continental DIY breakfast included in price.
Aircon heater a bit noisy.
