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.).

Bosnia and HerzegovinaThere was absolutely nothing we didn't like.
Everything was just perfect! We LOVED the apartment, the decor and the comfort, the location was THE BEST we could ask for, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful whenever we had any questions. I can say for sure that our stay in Altea wouldn't have been what it was if we booked any other hotel/apartment. Thank you, Blue Sardine. We'll most definitely be back! 😍

BelgiumIf I need to say a thing it would be that on the pictures it looks like there is a rooftop. With a view. But it is only for People who booked a room. So that was a dissappointment.. The bathroom could use a small update.
It was really close to the beach. And not for from the centre. It was not too big not too small perfect for a couple or a single traveler. Easy access to the rooms. Friendly staff.

RussiaThe Hostal is on the main road of the town and visiually difficult to find. there was no opportunity to stop my moto close to the door to leave my staff. I had to go further - 200 m- to free municipal parking and bring my bags back.
Very beautiful town to stay for some days and the hotel corresponds to expectations. El Hostal is just right between the Old town and the sea- front. To reach the church Nuestra Señiora del Consuelo you need to turn left going out the hotel and go upstairs 7 mins.

Loved the comfy bedroom! Everything was beautiful, a lot of special details. The location is amazing! One block from the beach and lots of restaurants and super close (around 3 blocks) from the steps to up to the historic center. Their host was super nice and willing to share some ideas to go around Altea. Definitely will come back!

The location was perfect to access the beach, the parking and the old town.

NetherlandsSince there isn’t a reception area, I would expect more amenities in the room, such as a wine opener etc. Spray the room was extremely small with no desk, just one small chair.
The bed was comfortable and the location was nice, right by the sea.

United KingdomThe only thing I didn’t like was the fact that the noise carries from other rooms above, I’m guessing this is down to the age of the building and ironically the features I liked - tiled flooring and bare walls! If it hadn’t have been for the noise at night the hotel would’ve got 10/10.
So much character and a really lovely room - from the tiling on the floor to the bed, tables, lighting fixtures! The staff member I met was friendly and amenable and really made a great room/hotel even better.

Immaculate and delightfully quirky. Fantastic shower. Fantastic location. Staff very friendly and on hand but allow for privacy. Altea is a lovely bolt hole away from the buzz and will definitely be back. Won’t bother looking for anywhere else to stay. Blue Sardine ticks all the boxes. Well done.

NorwayNo comments :).
Blue Sardine is located one block away from the beach and a short walk from Altea's centre. It is a cute little hostel with clean facilities, superb bed, and a nice bathroom. Automated system for checking in and out. Free parking information is provided. Even though our room was facing a busy street, we did not hear a thing once the window was closed. Very charming place.
