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.).

We had a superb stay!! The apartment was large and had absolutely everything we needed. We wished we had have stayed longer. It was in the perfect location and the owner and her daughter were both extremely accommodating and kind in the check-in and checkout process. The apartment was so clean and well-stocked.

A great and spotlessly clean apartment. Comfortable bed and pillows. Very well equipped apartment with washing machine. Exceptional host who greeted us and showed us around the property. An easy relatively flat walk into the centre of Mijas. We found free parking nearby. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Mijas.

We have traveled to many countries and this accommodation was the best equipped kitchen and bathroom. A lot of nice space in the home. Nice patio area. Extremely clean. The location was excellent to central area. Parking close. Friendly host who met us at the apartment, nice to meet the host in person.

Everything was great. We would definitely choose to stay there again.
The house is spacious, cosy and very well-equipped. It's ideally located if you prefer to be in the more residential part of town just a short, pleasant walk away from the centre. It is very tastefully decorated.

Circuit breaker kept tripping, so lost power when running lights, appliances. Shower door wouldn’t close, so bathroom floor was constantly covered with water. Towels were worn out and stained. Kitchen pans were all scratched and burned.
Excellent location! Host provided many amenities — shampoos, dish detergent, spices. Very responsive and helpful. Very friendly.

Where do I start? Firstly, just for context, I’ve never left a negative review before, but our 5 night stay last week was really not very nice at all. This property is definitely NOT worthy of the scores it has on booking.com. Although generally the property was clean on arrival, the towels and bedding were just horrible. Old, hard, discoloured and actually thread bare towels and very old, stiff and bobbly bedding which just left you feeling a bit itchy. Poor quality beds, and a bedside light which was so dangerous we unplugged it. The kitchen was quite well equipped, although everything looked old and a bit grubby. All I really wanted to make was coffee and cereal. There were only two tiny glass bowls, some chipped and very old mugs and a very cheap coffee machine which made lukewarm coffee. The sound proofing was also a major issue. On the first night the people upstairs were running water and the noisy pipe work was so loud that it kept us awake for about two hours. In fact, every single noise from upstairs echoed through the apartment day and night. The tv didn’t work so we couldn’t see any news about the floods that were happening whilst we were there. The furniture in the living room was just old and knackered. If the shower was turned on fully the bathroom flooded. But probably the most annoying thing was that the property was advertised as having parking. It does not have parking. There is public parking nearby but for the five days we stayed, it was virtually impossible to get a nearby parking spot. And for a couple of those days we had to park at the bottom of a very steep hill, which was about a ten minute walk away. Ok the property was cheap but so were many other places nearby. We booked because of the past reviews, the photos and the fact it said it had parking, but wish we’d booked somewhere else. We definitely won’t be returning.
Good location, quite spacious and clean.
