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 shower pressure is way too low. It's hardly possible to wash off the soap.
The owner is very nice and considering. The room and bathroom were clean, always enough paper and it had hot water. There is a shared kitchen, you can prepare food at and a coffee vending machine. For a little extra price, it's possible to get blankets.

IrelandThis albergue has everything. Such a warm welcome, washing facilities, a garden to relax in, with a flow of water to bathe your feet, clean comfortable bed, private locker, clean toilet and shower, etc. The restaurant recommendation was spot on and very close. Loved my stay here. I would highly recommend it.

CanadaThere is nothing I didn’t like, everything was fantastic,
Location was right on the Camino and within 10(ish) metres to a fantastic restaurant. It’s a very quiet location. I had a private room with a bathroom and the room and bathroom was spotless! I would definitely recommend and would stay there again. Bed was also super comfortable.

United KingdomHaving to leave the next morning, I wanted to stay longer.
The owners are lovely, so welcoming and friendly, they had a fridge with beers and soft drinks to help yourself and pay in the honesty box! That’s so nice!! The private rooms are a very high standard lovely decor and so clean, the bed and pillows were so comfortable the best on the Camino so far, the private bathroom is outside of the bedroom but tbh it didn’t bother me really as it was so wonderful, I would definitely recommend. Beautiful views and lots of nice seating areas.

United StatesMaria and Lalo are simply the best ! This was my second time staying there. I stayed there 6 years ago when they opened. This was my second Camino and I made specific plans to stay there again because of the memories I had from before. This time just as last time didn't disappoint. They have kept the property just like it opened. Immaculate. Maria and Lalo are now fluent in English. Still kind hearted. Maria took me to her garden while Lalo set me my e-bike up to charge. Occasionally I would see their family members come and hang out there and they would invite the Pilgrims to join them too. They have a huge and clean kitchen equipped with lots of dishes. The ambiance is fantastic. It hasn't changed. Near a river. One can listen to the sounds of river, cow bells and watch the most amazing views of the mountains. This Albergue is the last big and well set-up one before the O'cebreiro's big climb. Do not miss this opportunity to visit Maria and Lalo. And if read this review and go there, tell them I said hello. Stephanie from New York ;-)

Great place to stop before the climb to O'Cebriero which is very challenging. 2 mins walk to village. There is a pub, restaurant and 2 supermarkets in the village so well serviced. Spotless. Comfy beds. Great shower, spotless toilets. Kitchen available for cooking. Host very helpful, warm reception.
