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.).

IrelandThe Wi-Fi was patchy and we could lose signal often; however when it worked, it worked quite well! You can also hear a lot in the corridors in the morning if there are people talking, but at night it was very quiet and peaceful!
This property really exceeded our expectations in terms of value for money. The room we had (number 8) was a good size with two comfortable double beds and a shower with good water pressure and hot water. The staff were so helpful - they cleaned our room everyday and provided us with fresh towels daily. The pool is a bit small but just perfect to cool down from the intense Cartagena heat! Breakfast was also super tasty and prepared fresh every morning. The AC was also brilliant to help us cool down.

AustraliaIt was a bit confused the breakfast attention since the person wasn’t there, there is not signals saying wait for someone or serve yourself, or maybe a bell to let the person on charge know that there is a client waiting.
Quiet and nice place, located in a really good zone. The coffee store at the corner is amazing! Close to Castillo de San Felipe, you can go there by walking…

United StatesSome linens were stained upon arrival which felt icky but request to change out was easy & friendly.
Awesome location in Getsemani neighborhood & 5 minute walk to walled city. Plenty of food options from fried arepas + fresh cut mango street food to healthy cafes to comida típica. As a family we were back to hotel by 9 PM every night but we always felt safe wandering around this area. 15 minute walk to Castillo de San Felipe also. Staff were WONDERFUL! Great value.

United StatesThere is no elevator so if you have big and heavy luggages you’ll have to use stairs. The staff helped us bring it up to our room but for checkout we brought it down ourselves.
Location was in Getsemani and close to the Old City. Very accessible and walkable to the main attractions. Staff was very nice. I like that the main door was locked to the outside so security was good. The place is very simple so if you’re not looking for a fancy accommodation this place works. It was clean everything worked in our room. Didn’t get to try the breakfast but it was a plus to have it available.

ColombiaNo place to shelter from the scorching sun by the pool area. Sunbeds are not by the pool but on a terrace. Umbrellas are much needed. We had an issue with the tour agency that the hotel recommends. Some friends booked a tour with Carlos Alexander, and he cancelled the tour the night before at 7pm. We had to pressure the guy (and someone at the hotel to call him and help us) to recover the money paid. It was a bit of an ordeal. My friends were leaving the day after the tour so they had to find something last minute... not ideal as they had booked that tour 2 days in advance, and it wasn't cheap. They also needed the money to book another activity. Got the cash at about 11pm. I went on a tour with this agency as well and was offered a stay at a beach club, but the place wasn't very nice. It was rather disappointing.
We love the location, breakfast was nice, staff were friendly. Even if the street is noisy, you barely hear it when you're in your room.

United StatesHotel is a bit outdated. Although my room seemed cleaned, there was visible black mold on one of the ceiling and the ceiling fan needs to be cleaned, it was dusty. The cable on my TV was not setup, I asked one of the staff to fix it but he could not. I managed to set up only 2 channels. Although I am not on vacation to watch TV, I do like to have some background noise when I get myself ready.
Great location, really great staff. Great value for price
