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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 walls are pretty thin and you could hear neighbours, water noises etc. at night along with an uncomfortable bed made sleeping difficult. Also, whilst It was only a minor issue for us at ths stage in life, the last 100m of the road when walking back from the coat is very steep and then there are a lot of steps to climb to the apartment, perhaps not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
A good sized one bedroom apartment with a reasonable balcony with a sideways views to the sea. Problems with WiFi but Maria sorted this out with a portable device, she was very nice and patiently allowed us to try and speak in Spanish! Good walking access to the sea and Arroyo. The kitchenette is reasonable for simple meals for short stays.

IrelandThere was a leaking air con unit and it was very dangerous but they did fix it. there was a very bad drainage smell. there were ants in one of the beds. We had to check out at 11 but as our flight was much later and normally you can use the pool till you have to leave they charged us €30 to use the pool for 2 and a half hours that was disappointing

United KingdomBefore leaving home I enquired about pool towels to be told they provided but they don’t we had to buy some, there were parts missing of the air conditioning, no water in fridge on arrival, we were not advised about the continuing arguments with the rest of the site so had no Pool to use so had to pay 14 Euros a day for beds on the beach. After we checked in we never saw reception open again, the site does say there is a safe but doesn’t tell you it has to be rented, bathroom very dated, chipped and black mould, the bedroom floor was covered in hairs, no tray in the BBQ so we couldn’t use, fridge all broken inside.

United KingdomWe were told that parking was not available on site but there was parking 5 minutes away. There was no parking nearby and the car had to be left down the hill. The approach to the hotel is a very steep hill, which we hadn't been told about, In addition, we were on the fourth floor and there was no lift available. Nor was there any assistance to get the luggage up to the apartment. The hotel manager did admit that the accommodation was not suitable for older people. The hotel services were not as advertised. The pool is on the roof but the access was locked and therefore inaccessible. The site details mention a restaurant but there was no indication of where it was. Reception was open on the Saturday but staffed by an individual who could only communicate in Spanish. Reception was then unmanned until the Tuesday so none of the issues could be resolved, The hotel owner didn't answer any call. We found somewhere else to stay and left on the Wednesday. Despite the hotel not being of the standard requested nor meeting the requirements, the hotel owner has refused to refund any of the cost.

United KingdomI did not find the pool but reception did inform there was one and she would take me to show me if I wanted . The reception was locked daily so had to buzz for entry and was not open at all times during the day . The parasol was the only thing that needed replaced but I highlighted this to the reception . I'm sure internet was available bit we could not connect.
Lovely spacious apartment .catered for all your needs . Had everything you could have wanted . It is at corner of a steep hill, but then benalmadena is built on a hill . Plenty bars within walking distance but it is at the opposite end of the marina . I would return to this apartment and recommend it. Maria was very helpful

United KingdomThe roof top pool was not open. We went to the pool at the club house and were told because we were in Bloq 15 we were not allowed to use that pool because the owners of our block have no agreement with them. this ment we did not have a pool to use. next to our apartment 1511 there is a cannabis cafe that opens from 4pm to 12 midnight for people to buy and smoke weed. This was very unacceptable this was not mentioned at the booking. we were charged 10 euro each at checkin despite informing them 3 times we wouldnt be there untill 10.30pm. Paid 100 euro deposit on arrival also which was refunded on check out. The apartment was clean and very basic.

United KingdomNoisy aircon (not useable), no kettle, broken fridge, no plugs bathroom sink or bath, terrible mattress, broken toilet seat, filthy toilet, dry paint in bath, anti-slip in bath worn out, bathroom fan inoperative, mould on grouting, dirty curtain at patio door, no net curtains, insecure patio door (leaves gap at left side), dreadfully uncomfortable couch (also a fold-down bed), no ‘manual’ to advise guests such as rubbish disposal or what numbers on washing machine mean etc., damaged kitchen utensils, inappropriate glassware (four splash glasses and two small tumblers). Despite confirming there was a barbecue on the terrace before arrival - it’s a brick built in traditional style - upon arrival there were no grill nor ash box. We were given a story that the entire development can’t use the barbecues due to Police / Fire Department restrictions, the identical estate adjacent (Pueblo Evita Club) has the same barbecues with no restrictions upon usage. I’m doubtful of the ‘story’ given, more likely financially led either due to insurance premiums or cleaning overheads. See images for evidence of these points raised, whilst we did have a contact number the reception was not staffed 6 of 7 days and would have required major reform of the apartment regardless. Unfortunately the shortcomings of the fridge resulted in a bottle of Cava falling from the door bucket as being loaded from the supermarket bag, smashing upon the floor and slashing my wife’s hand open as she instinctively try to catch the bottle. Not realising the terrace door didn’t close properly allowed insects to enter (mosquitoes), when we did discover the issue (day two) the damage was done and subsequently due to the broken aircon we did need to spray the property constantly, as it was during the day necessary to leave doors open. Final insult to injury (literally) was having the cleaning staff sweep dirt from the tiles above down onto our terrace and over the clothes drying.
View from terrace. Very friendly manager. Good internet and WiFi. Climbing the stairs were great exercise, after all it’s called Pueblo Evita Hill but wouldn’t fancy it on a really hot day or if with a person of reduced mobility. A good location within short walk of restaurants and attractions.

United KingdomCheck in times could be more flexible. We had to pay 40 euros for a late check in 11pm
The apartment we stayed in was excellent. It was larger than expected with a fantastic view over Benalmadina and the sea. There is quite a few steps up to the apartments and no disabled or pushchair access. We went with a baby in a push chair. It was pretty tiring carrying the baby up and down the steps several times a day but not an issue as the appartment was so nice.

IrelandDo not stay at this scam place! Where do I even start? We arrived and couldn’t figure out how to get to reception as it’s behind key gate (you only get key after you check in) so we were calling hotel and after 30min someone came to let us in. The reception was never open while we were there for whole 10 days. What an absurd. Maria was the lady that deals with all the clients and her attitude was appalling. At the check in we were told we have to pay 100 euro deposit for each room and we were not allowed to see them before hand. (We had 3 rooms in total for our family) so we paid 300 euro and also they charged us for baby cots 30 euros. To summarise- it’s a hostel not hotel. We only got partial money back from our deposit as they charge for inet, broken glasses this and that. Worst experience of our lives! This was our first holiday in 3 years with family members coming from all over the world. Beds are uncomfortable, fridges make noise, washing machines don’t rinse clothes so they were coming out wet. Kettle and coffee machine were that disgustingly dirty we couldn’t even use them. None of the apts were cleaned before we checked in and there was no soap or shampoo. When we called Maria 2 days later after we checked in to see if we can get new fresh towels and more toilet paper we were told 1 roll should do us all for a week. WORST EXPERIENCE IN OUR LIVES, this place is biggest scam and is run by people that are not only rude but also scammers. I wish I read other people reviews before we booked this hotel. Stay away people!
