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):
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.).

NetherlandsThe owners of the albergue are great. They breathe the camino spirit. The pilgrim's dinner was very nice, both the food and the atmosphere. The pool and garden area are nice to hang out and relax. They offer breakfast in the morning. The albergue is clean and comfortable and on the way of the Portuguese camino.

Czech RepublicThe breakfast was very light, almost minimalist. It's more like a light snack. A bit disappointing, you just have to stop somewhere else (after two hours walking) and have a proper coffee and croissant!
We only stayed for one night, like most pilgrims on the Camino who pass through and continue on to Santiago. The hostess is lovely and does her job with enthusiasm. The room is very spacious, clean, and flawless. We didn't use the pool, but we did participate in the dinner offered (paid separately). A high-quality and beautiful place to recharge.

AustraliaDorms were clean and comfortable but a little spartan.
The owners are what made this hostel so wonderful - warm, welcoming and genuine. What the Camino is all about. A modern building constructed on the old house ruins but lots of character. Bathrooms and dorm area generally, very clean and well maintained. Big garden with pool, lots of undercover areas to relax and hang out. Possible to have a massage and even reiki if you organise in advance. Lovely communal dinners organised most nights and great to sit around with fellow walkers and share stories.

Czech RepublicI wish there was a fridge in the albergue for the guests' use. I could use the owners' private fridge but I would have felt less of a pain if I didn't have to ask the owners to store and retrieve my cheese for me. Or, if a common fridge is not desirable, I'd suggest indicating clearly in the description of the property that no fridge is available. However, this is just a small recommendation. The owners were on the whole very friendly, accommodating and hospitable, I wish them the best of luck and a lot of energy in keeping this place going.
The owner organizes a communal dinner, and it was one of the highlights of my whole camino trip. It may feel slightly forced at the start, but the atmosphere soon evolves into one of very relaxed, convivial sharing. The owner also gave me a new bed when she realized that a bottom bunk bed was vacant for the night (I had been assigned a top bunk bed originally), this was very nice. The villa itself is a cosy place.

PortugalAna and Pedro are pilgrims at heart and they created this space to allow pilgrims or non-pilgrim guests to relax, recover and reflect. The dinners are restaurant quality (they also own and manage the amazing restaurant in São Pedro de Torre-Estação de Torre), which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thee pool on a hot day is all you need to know…

United KingdomI was a little cold during the night. There was a second heavy bedspread available in the room, which I used, but no blankets.
We had a double room with private bathroom at this property. The best part of the stay was the pilgrim meal. Not the meal itself which was okay, (catered for vegans) but the opportunity to sit down with others from across the world and share our Camino experiences. This was only made possible by the host who did a little introduction before the meal started, to ensure everyone thought about breaking bread with fellow pilgrims and our achievements so far. Host encouraged joining even if eating own food. Use of a washing machine. Relaxing with our feet in the pool. Breakfast included although lack of non-dairy choice. (even with notice)
