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.).

United KingdomJust bear in mind that the hotel is up one of Valparaisos many hills. Make sure you have comfy shoes, and definitely use the funicular if you are carrying your luggage! The only thing I would have liked is a bigger shelf or more storage in the bathroom, because I struggled to know where to put things.
The location was absolutely fantastic! The hotel is a beautiful historic building, full of charm and character, and I loved having a room with a Juliet balcony. The staff were always smiling and ready to help, and the breakfast was really enjoyable. Overall, I felt it was good value for money, and would definitely go back.

United StatesBathroom/shower was quite petite.
Location, staff, and ambiance were all exceptional. Included breakfast was best of our trip. The port view from our room and small balcony was spectacular. Appreciated that coffee and hot water was available during the day. Took a little getting used to, but the locked front door and handing over our room key each time we went out gave us a good sense of security.

United StatesThis property looks like its coming out of pandemic restrictions; perhaps you can say it's seen better times. But you get such a sense of appreciation for what it is and also striving to become. It so beats new, modern buildings with cookie-cutter rooms and amenities. They just don't make them like this anymore!
My favorite hotel on my Chile trip. Classic interior architecture accentuated my experience with its high ceilings, wood herringbone floors, and tall doors plus vented transoms. Solid wood staircase should knock you socks off! Festive rooftop bar with view added evening pleasure. Strong security at entrance. Very friendly and helpful staff.

AustraliaThere was some noise from people partying outside the hotel at night, but otherwise it was very peaceful.
The hotel is a beautiful historic house in a central location in the historic area of Valparaiso. The room and hotel faciflties were very comfortable and full of character. A tasty breakfast was served in the dining area or outside terrace with views over Valparaiso Harbour.

CanadaOurs was a twin bed room on the lower floor ( I think the only twin bed room?) which faced the street and restaurants. The first evening, a Sunday, we had a saxophonist and other musicians playing right by our window. The music was ok but if you wanted to have a nap before supper, forget it. Also we were at street level. There is no AC ( not really needed in Valparaiso!) so we had to open windows and curtains for fresh air which meant NO PRIVACY because the passers-by could look in as you lay in bed watching tv. Try to get a room on the ocean side. The bathroom was very small (especially the positioning of the toilet) for us, but we are both 6 ft 1 and 6 ft 4! This area of Valparaiso is supposedly ‘safe’ but as you move away from it, you can quickly find yourself in areas that are not. My gold chain was ripped off my neck not that far from the hotel so just be aware of your surroundings and keep your valuables out of sight and secure .
Great, historic building in immaculate condition with great views of the ocean from the terrace and breakfast room ( and some of the rooms I’m sure!). Lovely breakfast served to your table. Very kind and helpful staff. Funicular takes you right up to the hotel!

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was ideal. We had a room overlooking the water, which was great! Everything was very charming.

AustraliaIt's an old hotel so the rooms are small and dated but this is part of the charm. Some strange things like the safe was tiny and not secured to anything. Took about 5 minutes to get any hot water. The hotel restaurant only opens on the weekend which we unfortunately missed as it is supposed to be quite good. The staff were all great except for the owner who was in the bar one night and was very drunk. There is very limited parking - we were lucky to get a spot on the street outside the hotel but be warned you need to be very good at parallel parking! Our car rental agency recommended we remove the rental company stickers from the windows in Valpo as there is a fair amount of break-ins. Unfortunately Valpo is a bit depressing given the lack of tourism (Dec 2022) - we were here 5 years ago and it was buzzing but now its half-closed, dirty and a bit dodgy. Hopefully it will bounce back as it was one of our favourite places to visit on a previous trip.
A grand old hotel in a great location in the old part of Valpo, a short walk to some nice bars and restaurants. Has a terrace bar that is open Thurs-Sun.
