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 reviewThe location is very nice in the city center
Everything in the hotel is very old. The room is hot and there is no air conditioning.

Verified reviewI liked the location.
The bathroom was very dirty and there was a cockroach on the hall next to the water cooler and fridge. The breakfast was very poor, with a few selected options. I only stayed one night, but if I would have a longer booking I would change the accommodation.

Verified reviewWe stayed just for half night as our flight arrived nearly at 1am and next day we left to Granada. The place is huge , it feels more like a hostel, simple twin bed, breakfast, share bathroom. Good for check-in late , the staff were great, and to be in a central location.
bed uncomfortable, a bit noisy because the central location.

Verified reviewThe property has everything you need! It’s safe, clean & affordable, location is really good, close to everything, shop is literally on your doorstep too! Reception open 24/7! Water cooler with hot & cold water + fridge in the corridor & they do basic breakfast (bread & jams,cereal). Cleaner cleans room every 3 days.
It is a bit old looking & there was a cockroach in my room🙊 but given the price & the location i honestly would stay again. I was a bit sceptical about shared bathrooms, but it was ok, not so busy, there was never a queue or anything.

Verified reviewThe bed was incredibly comfortable and there was lots of space! The shared bathroom was very easy to use. The host was so so friendly and helpful! Gave me wonderful tips about what to do.
The lack of air conditioning can be a bit hard to deal with. I’m not sure if it was just the night I stayed there but the noise levels were unbearable - it was constant and sounded like it was coming from inside the hotel. The location is very close to the centre of town but unfortunately the noise that this came with made it nearly impossible to sleep.

Verified reviewThe location was great, in downtown close to everything.
The toilet and bathroom were very dirty, the glass of cabin for bath was broken. The thing that holds the douche was broken. It was very noisy when you open the windows, and you don't have any other chance as there is no Air conditioner, just a smal fan which doesn't help at all. So sleeping was a problem even at 2am. If you stay 1 day it can be maybe fine, but if you visit for long I really don't recommend. Find a better place with AC.
