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.).

SwedenIt was difficult to park during the weekends
An amazing little hotel, we had a really good time! The owners kept the Andalusian style of the building, the patio is beautiful. The room was very clean and the staff extremely friendly. They helped us a lot during our stay with tips. The hotel is located in the center of Salobreña which allowed us to walk around and explore the town and the castle many times.

United KingdomThe owners are incredible helpful and kind, when we arrived they gave us lots of really nice recommendations, unfortunately I got food poisoning from something I ate before I arriving there and they really helped us when we most needed. They could even extend our stay by moving some rooms around so we could rest a bit more before we go the plane. I would highly recommend.

United KingdomGreat location. Welcoming knowledgeable hosts. Rooms were simple but everything you needed including a small fridge was in the room. We got great advice from Sebastian and Joanna on things to do, where to eat and how to get around. Parking is a bit of pot luck, but you will find something in the vicinity. Worth climbing up to the castle and certainly make sure to eat at La Pesetas or La Roka of an evening. The beach is less than 20 minutes walk away and easy to find.

CanadaNothing. Our only regret was that our stay was far too short.
Most charming, welcoming and helpful on-site owners whose advice made our brief stay exceptional. The property is very well located for easy walking access to everything of interest, including the fortress, beach, restaurants, grocery stores and various shops.The building has recently been tastefully updated and is most appealing and spotlessly clean. Our large room had all we needed: comfortable beds, spacious, large bathroom with 2 sinks, bright and cheery. Easy on-street parking.

United KingdomAt first I thought that the air conditioning unit was not very powerful, but I think the building is very efficient so you can have the air con on for a bit in the morning and the room will stay cool throughout the day anyway.
The staff were incredible, the owners were always available and happy to help even going as far as to personally show us where certain facilities in the town were. Location could not be much better, it was easy to find and close to all the key locations in the town.
