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 KingdomThe heating came on very early, and due to the type of heating, was quite noisy.
It was a lovely little Albergue, run by Marcello - who provided me with the best stamp I had on the Camino, a special wax one. Small room with 14 beds, good facilities and a communal dinner (Marcello could cater for a GF/vegan diet), it felt like we were staying with a family, everyone at the albergue was really nice.

SpainThis is definitely a special place to stay. If you are looking for a Albergue with a special touch, this is it. One of the main reasons I did the Camino was to meet people from all of the world and here you get to have dinner with the other guests and owner, cooked by the owner Marcello. There are rules and curfews to follow but all for the efficiency of check in/ out, dinner and for respect of the other guests. It's also right on the Camino just through the town about a 7 min walk back from the center of town. In the morning when you leave you will be ahead of everyone on the trail. I thought it was a great experience.

TaiwanI arrive around 6 p.m.(a bit late) so you have to call and wait a bit. But it’s reasonable because he has to buy ingredients for dinner.
The bed has disclosure sheet though a bit transparent. They have heater so very warm inside. And they offer hair dryer if you ask! Also the dinner was nice for pilgrimmers to enjoy and have great conversation.

You can wash your clothes and dry them outside, there is a terrace outside of the hostel and some chairs you can sit. The host walked Camino himself and provided a waxed stamp.

United StatesThis was our first experience with an augergue with bunk bed accommodations. We were very impressed with Marcello's warm welcome and thorough orientation to get us settled. The facilities and accommodation were good value. We especially enjoyed the homemade Italian meal that enabled us to get to know other Camino pilgrims - including Marcello who has done several pilgrimages himself.

United KingdomGreat albergue, away from the town, and right on the camino, perfect for a head start the next day. Marcello, the host was very friendly and accommodating and gives the best wax stamp that I got on my camino! For €15, you can also join in for a pilgrim dinner cooked by Marcello- which was delicious!! The rooms were cosy, with a plug and light at each bed. Sheets and blankets were available. There were also 2 bathrooms to use, the downstairs one being the less busy one. I enjoyed my stay, felt really comfortable and enjoyed meeting other pilgrims.

United StatesThe hostel doesn't open until 13:30. I arrived an hour before this and wish I could have showered and finished laundry earlier.
I read a lot of reviews that the owner was unpleasant. I found this to be completely untrue. Marcello was kind. Although there were only 2 bathrooms for 20 beds, this was not a problem (though there were also only 11-12 people staying during my visit). It was also a nice touch that the beds all had privacy curtains, and there was a fan in the room.

PhilippinesThere were too many bunk beds / people and just 2 bathrooms. But this was very clear at the onset so it's fine.
I love the property owner.... very welcoming. And the fact that he offered to have a communal meal with the other pilgrims. This makes the Albergue experience more meaningful.
