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.).

United StatesThis hotel is a perfect location just a few blocks from the Placa de Sol. There is a metro station at Sol and one at Opera (which is 2 blocks from the hotel in the other direction) so catching the metro to go all around Madrid is very easy! The employees (shout out to Emilio & Daril) are all very helpful and welcoming! Breakfast is full of choices. Each day it varies a bit to try to satisfy all kinds of tastes. There are boiled eggs every day (but you can ask them to make you scrambled eggs or an omellette filled with your favorites), There are sausages, iberico ham, thinly sliced meats, cheeses, peppers (red and green), assorted yogurts, fried rice, egg drop soup with vegetables, beans, flan and other sweets, fresh sliced oranges, melons, grapes, pineapple, bananas, etc., salad lettuces, tomatoes, pancakes, honey, nutella, jellies & jams. The bread selection is amazing: all types of croissants, local breads, cinnamon rolls, pastries, muffins, etc. And I must not forget to tell you about the Coffee Machine that offers every combination of coffee you can imagine, including decaf which is a must for me! They also have varied tea bags if you prefer tea. Breakfast is available from 7am-11am. I've probably missed a few items but wanted to let you know how wonderfully you can start your day at Hotel Francisco I! It is of great value! We had a room with twin beds that was very comfortable. You must put your room card in a slot upon entering to supply electricity to the room. The heating is on in hotels certain months of the year and the air conditioning is on certain months in many hotels in Europe to conserve energy. Madrid hotels follow this pattern. When we arrived the air conditioning had already been turned on so there was no heat. We had a day or two of cold weather so asked for blankets. We got those but 2 space heaters were brought to our room, also! A VERY CLEAN hotel! I highly recommend this hotel and will stay here again upon my return!!!!!!

IrelandSome of our party were originally given a double room instead of a twin. The shower and toilet were practically in the bedroom with very skimpy glass partitions. There was not a separate bathroom. This would not be suitable for friends sharing or indeed some couples may not like that level of "intimacy". Bathroom toiletries in shower were a combined shampoo/shower gel which is not good for washing long hair!
Location perfect for exploring several main tourist attractions on foot. Hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel had quirky features and unusual decor. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Beds, pillows and bedding were extremely comfortable.

IsraelThere’s a bit moldy scent in the room, we opened the window for a few minutes each time we came back to the room.
This place has the best location, right in the center, we walked everywhere. The staff was great, both at the lobby and at the room cleaning. The Nespresso machine in the room is a big plus, we also allot a kettle when we asked.

Czech RepublicThe breakfast is not a good idea - very poor choice for a 4* hotel and unfortunately, the room is very small, noisy, uncomfortable and 4 out of 4 days, we had to wait in line in the lobby (with nowhere to sit) for 15+ minutes to get a seat. Apart from the breakfast, everything was great, but this really ruins the picture.
The hotel is super central, super clean and very comfortable.
