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 reviewExcellent location, very clean, and spacious room with sufficient storage.
Noisy at night. Bathroom smelled strongly of drains. Breakfast was mediocre with tasteless industrial pastries and sugar-fuelled diluting juices (no fresh options). No hot drinks machine (only instant coffee in a flask).
Response to the guest: Dear, Thank you for highlighting the excellent location, cleanliness, and spaciousness of our rooms. However, we would like to firmly clarify some important points from your comment: Our pastries are not industrial. They are freshly prepared daily by a local artisanal bakery, including croissants, homemade sponge cakes, and tea cookies. These are fresh products made with care, although we understand personal preferences may vary. Regarding the juices, they are 100% natural, with no added sugar or additives. They come from a specialized supplier of pasteurized juices, ensuring quality, food safety, and authentic flavor. As for the coffee, we serve freshly prepared instant coffee in thermal containers. This option aligns with the standards of 3-star hotels in Uruguay and abroad and is well-regarded by our guests for its taste and consistency. Our breakfast buffet is actually one of the most appreciated aspects of the stay, and we work hard every day to maintain its quality and variety. We have noted your comment about the bathroom odor and will investigate the situation to ensure it is resolved. We appreciate your feedback, though we believe it is important to stand by the honest work and commitment of our team and to correct statements that do not accurately reflect our service. Kind regards, Hotel Alvear

Verified reviewThe staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable, excellent bed and bathroom facilities. The heater / air conditioner was the best I’ve seen.
Only the shower could have a bit more water pressure, but lower floors might not have this issue. Breakfast could also have a bit more variety.
Dear guest, Thank you very much for your generous rating and for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to know you enjoyed the comfort of the room and the attention provided by our team. We truly appreciate your suggestions regarding the shower pressure and breakfast variety, as we are always working to improve every detail. We hope to welcome you back to Montevideo very soon.

Verified reviewCentral location, very convenient for accessing all places of interest. Room was comfortable and clean. Continental breakfast was great and all very fresh. Staff were very courteous and helpful.
No tea or coffee making facilities in the room.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for positively evaluating several aspects of your stay. Regarding the tea and coffee set in the room, we understand that it can be a much-appreciated detail. In our case, as a three-star hotel, this service is not part of the standard amenities, in line with the affordable rates we offer. Nevertheless, we sincerely value your suggestion, as we are always looking to offer small gestures that contribute to an even more pleasant experience. It will be a pleasure to welcome you again.

The location was a bit sketchy after dark, do not walk around. During the day it was very vibrant.
