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.).

GermanyThe hotel is well located in the center of La Serena. The hotel has a lot of lovely common rooms and a garden to discover. The personal is super friendly and helpful!

United StatesCheck-in was very confusing due to staff's complete lack of English and unwillingness / inability to understand my simple but usually passable Spanish. It became extremely frustrating to grasp parking arrangements and breakfast opening hours, both important details due to our early departure. The lovely owner kindly offered an unsolicited room upgrade and apologized for communication limitations. The overnight clerk was really the only, but very unpleasant hiccup we encountered. That and garage opening half an hour late, holding our car hostage as we fretted about making our flight.
Owner upgraded us to palatial modern room in building across the street, most appreciated after a very long day. The breakfast offerings were excellent, although we had to rush through en route to airport. Quiet location but close to main roads. Historic neighborhood.

Netherlandsparking our rental car was a challenge, there is a public parking (8 usd/day) almost adjacent to the hotel, but at the time we arrived (around 1500 hrs) it was completely full. fortunately one of the staff members of the hotel helped us out wonderfully. otherwise it is difficult to park your car closeby at that time. later in the evening both in the parking and on the street much more free places were available.
In the middle of the historic centre of la serena a privately secluded boutique hotel, with nice interiors, very friendly staff. the family room was very spacious with two separate rooms, a hallway with a couch, and a bathroom. quality of the beds was good, bathroom ok. very good breakfast. the hotel is in the middle of the busy and lively centre of la serena, but also the beach was at walking distance (if you like walking, approx 1.5 to 2 km)

GermanyWhen staying at the building across the road, it feels a bit complicated that you have to ask someone in the main building to come with you across the road to open up the other building for you any time you come back.
Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast, clean and nice room, central location, very quiet.

GermanyBreakfast was ok, a lot of variety in cereals, egg was ok but no coffee only Nescafé which is an absolute no go. Rooms were nicely decorated but a bit smelly, mattress too soft (old?) and the bathroom needs a makeover (water also didn’t really work or was very hard to regulate).
Super nice oasis in not so nice La Serena! Super helpful team, you can also do your laundry there for a nice price.

FranceThe optional sauna didn't really get warm which was unfortunate. The room was right next to the breakfast so not that much privacy.
Really good breakfast - many options and of high quality. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very nicely decorated. Excellent location in the old center of La Serena. The garden is beautiful and perfect if you want to relax a bit with many options to sit and lounge. Great optional massage.

ItalyThe room had some unpleasant smell of old things. We were accommodated in a room with no inside bathroom despite our tariff election included one. It was not a problem because hotel was not full and we were in a separate and more private part of the hotel.
Amazing ambience. Very good breakfast. Beds are large and comfortable.

A very spacious and well decorated room and a beautiful property overall. Super warm beds with electric heated underblankets and very warm blankets are super appreciated when the nights in La Serena get cold. The hotel has its spa: ask for Alejandro, their wonderful massage therapist. We loved our stay!
