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.).

SpainThere is no doubting this is a unique albergue, in some ways it's magical, however as walking pilgrims we felt it was acting like an authentic PUBLIC Albergue but charging Tourist town private albergue prices..
A beautiful building lovingly run by two warm, friendly and slightly eccentric brothers. The building and contents are actually amazing, and it's a labyrinth of stairs, corridors and incredible artefacts! The rooms are comfortable but basic, we were fortunate enough to have a whole 4 bunk room to ourselves, and a slight downside was the noise from rowing neighbours which went on until the early hours.

Great location with a really friendly, helpful guy working at reception. The room was clean and came with plenty of bedding and complementary towels which is rare for an albergue and very much appreciated.

United KingdomVery acoustic building. The construction is antique with old wooden floor and ceiling. You can hear every single step of other guests walking above you. Earbuds highly recommended or be prepared for 5am wake-up, as the pilgrims wake up very early and as soon as people start moving around the building you basically hear every step and word they say. Mattresses not comfortable, (cheap sprung box) I could feel the sprung all over my body. We were group of 4 friends (not very fussy travelers) and all of us didn't sleep well in this place.
Perfect location.

Denmark:) you cant get it all! beds could be better, Air was a bit heavy, The old furniture and installations (=atmosphere) means that the comfort maybe wasn't in the top range.
No breakfast. The location is brilliant, and what is missing in what people normally would expect from an Albergue or Hostal, was more than fully compensated by the originality of the place, and the odd but friendly attitude by the host.
