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.).

A kettle in the room / tea coffee making facilities would be nice.
This is a small well run family hotel and we found it to be utterly charming. It was quiet while we were there and we found it very relaxing. We were given a choice of rooms. The staff were great - they even gave us free cava for breakfast as it was my birthday. The outside area is small but the pool/ hot tub is great and there are lots of different seating areas to escape the sun. We would definately stay again if we return to Palamos.

It was all great
Due to a cancelled flight , I arrived four hours late at nearly 2am. Their friendly night porter saw me arrive and ran down to help me park, safely lock the car park and then booked me in and saw me to my room. Wonderful. All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Breakfast was fab Coffee even fabber! Lovely pool and hot tub. I was there two nights and would happily stay again. Palamos is a great town with lively shops bars and restaurants.....Less "touristy" than the usual resorts which is to be recommended. A genuinely delightful charming building and grounds, kept spotlessly clean by all the hard-working staff.

Not a single thing. It was just great.
We were in Palamos for a wedding in the area and we had an excellent time at hotel Sant Joan. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean. The hotel is a family business that did an amazing job helping us with some request we had to prepare for the wedding we were attending. We also enjoyed the swimming pool and hot tub. The hotel has a nice and lovely restaurant that we enjoyed once, it offers great food for very reasonable price. Breakfast was great with enough variation to choose from in the restaurant of the hotel. The hotel has a parking from which you can then reach amazing beaches in the area.

Great set up with nice clean rooms, pool & relaxing garden area. Nice looking bar/restaurant (although check opening days for dinner). Lovely breakfast. The winning ingredient though has to be the service. What lovely people - so helpful & informative.

It's a hotel in an old country house and therefore the rooms are not free of the noise from the stairwell or other rooms if the other guests are not quiet.
Loved the customer attention, the breakfast, the swimming pool area and the beaty of the hotel. They are all great!

We stayed at this hotel for one night, choosing it because of its high rating. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. First of all, parking was a major issue. The hotel’s parking area is very small and was completely full. There were no spaces nearby either, so we had to drive around for a long time. Getting to the city center by car was also difficult because of the parking situation, and walking there takes quite a while as the hotel is located quite far from the center. Secondly, the sleeping conditions were very uncomfortable. The room had only one small bed with a very hard mattress and just one sheet. When booking, I requested two beds, but this was not taken into account. Sleeping under one small sheet for two people was extremely inconvenient. At the very least, an extra sheet could have been provided. The shower in the room also worked poorly. As for breakfast: the food itself was decent for a three-star hotel. However, the seating arrangement was disappointing — each table was marked with a room number. Although the dining room was half-empty with plenty of nice tables available by the windows, our table was set up in the most inconvenient spot, right at the entrance in the passageway. Overall, the stay was not comfortable. If you value a good night’s sleep and easy access to the city center, especially if you are traveling by car, this hotel will most likely disappoint you.
Breakfast was not bad.
