How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The WIFI in my room on the 6th floor was very poor, but it was ok in the reception downstairs. There was no desk or work table in the room which was a little bit inconvenient as I was on a business trip.
Great breakfast selection, rooms were spotlessly clean, staff was incredibly helpful. Perfect location near the metro station and within walking distance to all sights around.

In the morning there was a smell in the bathroom, as no extraction is installed and no window to let air in the bathroom. This needs to be checked.
The room was large enough and cosy for 2 people. The breakfast was amazing and well prepared. Very friendly & helpful staff. During the stay my friend had her birthday and when we came home in the evening a bottle of cava was placed on the table. Very kind. The location of the hotel is in 5 mnutes walking distance to the metro station Arc de Triomphe and the barrico is nice to explore. No car needed, everything is in walking distance. Amazing place to stay. In summer you can use the roof terrace and small swimming pool. Or you can go into the gym facility. All-in-all a great place to stay and discover Barcelona.

The swimming pool was not ready by the time of our arrival despite earlier announcement. No warning of this was sent prior to arrival. If i new in advance that swimming pool would not be available i would have chosen a different hotel for our 7 days stay. Without the swimming pool the hotel was way too expensive for the services that it offed. No discount/room upgrade or any compensation was offered by the staff. Room cleaning could also be better (even after asking the room was not vacuum cleaned).
Centrally located, close to the metro station. Very good breakfast that was conveniently available till 11am.

The hotel was doing maintenance on the pool and area so we couldn't use it or the terrace to get any night views.
We were there from 29/3/24 to 1/4/24 Easter long weekend. The hotel is centrally located for visiting the tourist attractions. It is literally on the doorstep of The Arc De Troufme and the cuitre Park and the Zoo. It is a 20min walk to LA RAMBLA Street and 10min walk to all the famous brand shops like LV,Michael kors, guess, etc. The hop-on/ hop-off bus stop is 2mins away from the hotel (you can buy tickets on board) . I would recommend this hotel .
