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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Great location. Could have l shower caps in bathroom. Staff at front desk excellent first night not so good 2nd night. Breakfasts phenomenal . Roof top bar excellent but they couldn’t open the Saturday night due to no staff. Only open Fri and Sat so should have had one of others at front desk manning the bar.

United StatesOnly disliked that we couldn’t stay longer.
We stayed in Valpo for 2 weeks, and this was our favorite stay. Wish we had stayed here instead of the awful Airbnbs we tried. Excellent large complimentary breakfast. Loved the kitchenette so we could make food for the little one who needed to eat at non-Chilean meal times :). Every single staff member was super helpful, kind, and fun. The rooftop cannot be beat, and we tried many others in the area. Large clean bathrooms with hot water. Extremely comfortable bed and the sleeper bed as well!

United KingdomIt was windy on ghe rooftop a couple of times but blankets were provided and the screens gave some protection. The bathrooms were shower in bath type rather than just shower cubicle. Quite hot at night in rooms but plenty of windows to open.
We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at Casa Galos, a beautiful boutique small hotel in Cerro Alegre. This was our treat to complete a month's holiday in Chile . The hotel is simply styled with eclectic pieces and natural furnishings; the high ceilings add a spacious feel and the roof terrace add a touch of drama with the view of the Valparaiso hills with the port and the Pacific ocean , almost too much to take in. We made food there, it was great to feel like we actually lived on Templemann street. The breakfast from 8.30am was fruit , cereal, cold meats, cooked eggs, toast and carrot cake. No big hotel chain rush just enjoy planning your day . Crockery and cutlery seemed brand new.

United StatesWe liked everything but the steps. Not anything that they could do about that.
The staff were very helpful, they even made us food to take because we were flying out before their breakfast. They made and left sandwiches in our mini fridge. A French press coffee maker was ready to fill, we had an electric kettle in the room. The location is great, but be prepared for lots of steep sidewalks and steps. The property also has a roof bar and you have a 180 view of the city and sea.

AustraliaMy one gripe is no reflection on the hotel. It is difficult to get to Valparaiso from Santiago. You can either go by a cheap option - public bus or by very expensive taxi ie AUS$220 each way. It would be great to have a more middle ground option like a hotel shuttle bus to and from Santiago to various hotels in the area. I didn't have any dislikes at all for this hotel. It was lovely.
Exceptional view over Valparaiso from the roof terrace. The room was large and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast great. Eggs, meats, toast, cereal, yoghurt, fruit, cake, coffee. The hotel is very well located well within walking distance to most sights. Lots of restaurants and cafes in the area. I loved that the hotel is in one of the traditional Valparaiso buildings. It's beautifully decorated in the local style and art but with attention to comfort and convenience. Wifi was fast and available throughout the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel.

South AfricaThe last night we were there, a large group was partying on the rooftop until late and our room was just below the roof. We wished the nighttime quiet rules had been enforced better. Otherwise, a great stay.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful! The facility itself was beautiful. The rooms were large and light, and the rooftop had a great view. The rooms made it very easy to unwind and relax. Breakfast was delicious.

It's our 3rd time in Casa Galos. Two times with hubby and now with one of our daughters. We love it! The view, the decor, the big and comfy spaces, the terrace, breakfast, excellent water pressure (for shower), looooove the common spaces, and staff exceptionally friendly and kind.

United StatesThe only thing that bothered us is that we are getting older and the beds are a bit soft and springy, which was hard on our bodies.
I enjoyed breakfast - there was a spread of fruit, yogurt, granola/cereals, toast, cheese, ham, jam, etc, plus coffee and eggs made to order. The hotel was clean and beautifully decorated; our room was spacious; we spent so much time on the rooftop terrace. The location is perfect and within a short walking distance to many tourist draws and excellent restaurants. The staff were warm, welcoming, helpful, and fun to talk to. We really loved all the staff members who worked here. They made great recommendations for food and activities, and they went out of their way to be helpful and make our stay comfortable!
