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 reviewBeautiful hotel. Amazing location and view. Wonderful breakfast.
Everything was amazing although the only small gripe would be that some of the staff are a little unfriendly.

Verified reviewExcellent service and great view fromt he upstairs rooms. Very nice breakfast and a decent sized pool. Food at lunch and dinner also very good.
There should be more shading from the sun on the outside terrace upstairs for breakfast. And there are not enough shaded areas or umbrellas round the pool

Verified reviewThe pool was a game changer. The setting is lovely and the staff were helpful and friendly. The nods to Dalí were also good. They had parking and there isn’t much in the town.
It was pretty much all perfect. The only change I would make is adding a few more parasols by the pool.

Verified reviewFair breakfast
Small room that is poorly designed. It's not a suite. Not clean: Sticky counter tops, hair on floor, stains on floor, torn towels, dirty rug, dirty walls around the outdoor shower. Poor maintenance: Bed side lights not working, broken entry key box, difficult to open the door to the patio. Poor check-in by a rude French speaking youg guy. No privacy at all on the patio. Unfortunately, I can't attach all the photos that I took to support the above. There is a sign in the room stating that check out time is 12AM, They meant 12 noon (PM) and not midnight (12 AM). I'll not recommend this place or plan to return.

Verified reviewLocation is unique with easy walking access to the city center and spectacular views of the Cadaques city, cove and iconic church.
The description of the room is not accurate. The room description on booking states: “Guests will have a special experience as this room offers a pool with a view and a fireplace.” It should state: “….this room offers a view of the sea and pool. There is a fireplace in the lounge.” The description makes it sound like EACH room has a fireplace and pool. There should be a distinction between the room the description and the overall hotel facilities’ description.
Dear Sir, Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us and for so kindly highlighting our location, the views and the unique setting of Cadaqués. We sincerely regret any confusion caused by the room description. We are very grateful that you pointed out this point, as it helps us to detect aspects that can lead to misunderstandings. We are in the process of revising the information texts so that they reflect more clearly and accurately the specific characteristics of each room, differentiating them from the general facilities of the hotel. We are glad to know that, despite this detail, your stay was positive, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again to offer you an even more satisfactory experience. Best regards, Villa Gala Team

Verified reviewBeautiful view and comfortable room. Despite the rain (travelling in early March), we enjoyed every minute of our stay in Cadaques. The hotel has a fireplace in the lounge/dining room, which we enjoyed in the evenings. Very friendly, helpful staff, and a super clean property. We enjoyed the breakfast, which had something for everyone. Location was amazing, an easy work down to the foreshore, and minutes from the restaurants. The carpark is located at the hotel, and we appreciated being able to easily park our car during our stay. Highly recommend, and we will stay here again.
Would have been good to have a couple of floor mats at the door going out onto our personal patio given the wet weather. Nothing else we could fault.

Verified reviewVery pleasant environment. The public areas were clean and comfortable. Food when available was excellent. Breakfast was excellent.
Disappointed that the kitchen was only operating for one evening of our stay. Ants nest behind the wall cladding in the room. Fortunately we had some ant killer with us which seemed to solve the problem.
Dear Mr Farrar, Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the atmosphere, cleanliness and food, especially the breakfast. We apologise for the problems with the restaurant service and the ants in your room. We'll look into it to make sure it doesn't happen again. Hope to see you again soon!

Verified reviewWe stayed here for one night and loved it; I wish we could have stayed longer. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms well appointed and bed very comfortable. Our room had a balcony with beautiful views of the church, town and sea. There is parking in a field directly next to the hotel and it is a short walk (5 to 10 min) into town. The hotel serves tapas for dinner. We tried a couple and they were good. I particularly liked the breakfast. It was all cold food but an excellent and varied selection of bread, pastries, cakes, cheese, ham, salmon, vegetables, fruit (super fresh and varied), cereals, potato frittata, coffee, juices etc. If you like a healthy breakfast then you'll love the freshness and variety. I had notified the hotel ahead of time that I was gluten free and they provided me with a GF baguette and two muffins for breakfast. The baguette needed to be heated for longer as it was very crumbly but the muffins were delicious!
We would have liked a more varied menu - some more vegetarian/pescatarian and gluten free options. Also perhaps the option of room service. We weren't sure if this was available as there was no information in the room. A kettle in the room would also be good - we did ask and were provided with one. The soundproofing between rooms is not great. We could hear the couple next door using the bathroom and in bed. The noise however overall was minimal and short-lived and I always travel with ear plugs, so it wasn't a big issue.
