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 KingdomOnly 2 female toilet/shower combos and close To 50 beds meant there was always a queue for the toilet or shower. The restaurant guy would not put on the heating because ‘‘it’s not Cold’’ - I guess you feel the cold differently when you’ve been walking in the rain all day! The radiators never came on which meant we had to carry wet clothes with us the next day or Pay €5 to use the dryer.
The hostel side of the Albuergue is very nice. Big lounge area, comfy bedding, nice ladies running the place. Each bed has a charging station and the toilets and showers are combined in a single room which is great for privacy.

United StatesExpensive laundry service (5€ each for wash and dry), very cold in the common area downstairs in the hostel, so cold that our clothes didn’t dry overnight while hanging inside.
Private bathrooms with shower/toilet, very clean, friendly staff, comfortable beds and duvet blankets, nice windows with natural light, good food in the restaurant.

AustraliaNothing to complain about.
One of the best albergues on the Camino Primitivo trail as it merges with the Frances (near Melide). Great premises, good food, even had a small swimming pool for the hot days we visited. Staff were knowledgeable on dietary requirements and it was very clean and spacious. Lockers were provided and there was a good ratio of bathrooms, toilets etc per number of beds. Looks like other guests from other albergues drop in for a meal at this albergue.

Very clean albergue run by kind and helpful staff. Bathrooms were a combined shower and toilet so more privacy but meant an occasional wait to get in. Food at the restaurant was great.
