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.).

It was hard to open/close the door which made a lot of noise, the bed was pretty bad as I woke up with back pain, also didn't sleep well because the bed was squeaking with every tiny move, walls are so thin you could hear the people next door talk, take a shower, ...
Right in the middle of town

The hotel felt fairly fashioned and all a bit ‘tired’ and drab There was no extractor fan in the bathroom and no air conditioning . The bathroom fittings (shower particularly) again were very old fashioned. It would be good nowadays to have USB sockets. Internally there was very little sound insulation and jangling door keys from other guests could clearly be heard
The breakfast was quite basic and although it was mostly processed food it was good to have some fresh bread and fruit. The bed was comfortable.

The hotel overall needs some renovation. In my room a bedside lamp was completely broken, a tile in the bathroom was cracked. Shutters should be cleaned or changed. It is not written that the spa costs 15€ per person, which is okay but it should be clearly written.
The staff is very kind and ready to answer all questions. The room was clean and the location is perfect.

- Location. No parking available (there's a big open and free parking on C.Enrique Hererros street, four minutes by easy walk form hotel). - Hard access for people with disabilities! Keep in mind, main access to the hotel is by walking up by the steep stairs from main street! - Carton walls. Be aware! On my stay (2nd of December 2022),some neighbour left the dog locked in the room and went for a drink- poor animal was barking and yowl for over two hours around 10pm! People on this floor couldn't get sleep, walking down to reception, asking for actions. A big thanks to staff- they've reached the owner somehow, I hope that he /she was charged for such stupidity :-) - TV- there's only one channel working. I didn't need much, but be informed.
- Location, almost in the Town centre, approximately 30 metres away from main street/road. - Interior design, very pleasant. - General cleanliness. Everything is clean, smell fresh, a lot of towels. - Easy check in, simple and fast, exactly what the traveller need! - Staff helpfulness, nice and multilingual, so no problem with english speakers should occur. - Simple but cozy room. A bit old, but very (VERY) well kept rooms. - Simple but awesome shower! That says it all. - Breakfast. Hot, good selection of food and drinks. Served in the nice, clean hotel lobby. - TV and wiFi.

The room was not very comfortable. There were 2 lamps in the room which did not work. It was kind of hard to access the front door of the hotel. I had a difficult time walking up the steps.
Good location good value for the money. Very simple budget hotel.
