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 room was facing Guggenheim Museum (as we expected) which made my husband's birthday quite special. But it was never enough by itself. There were many other reasons which made the day. -The reception staff was very kind and welcoming. We were expecting a courier to the reception. They have taken the note and placed the package in the room whenever it is received. - The room amenities were high quality and refilled rapidly. Thank you for the fresh water, also for coffee & night chocolates. -Great thanks to the housekeeping! They were really good at what they are doing. Appreciated!🙏🏾 -The breakfast was nicely prepared with fresh & quality ingredients. -The breakfast service team was very welcoming & organized. They were making the breakfast experience smooth in every way. After omlette our service has been changed without even requesting, appreciated🙏🏾 -The building itself was simple and nicely decorated. -The location was good, the airport bus is passing by just few steps away from the hotel. -Last but not least "Thank you for the freshly cooked birthday cake. 🙏🏾"

There was no breakfast included in the room rate and it was 32 euros per person to have this which is rather expensive for a breakfast. We did 'treat' ourselves on 2 days and the breakfast was very good but the remainder of the days we ate our breakfast locally
Location was exceptional, room clean and modern, staff very professional and friendly

Everything was exceptional.
The Gran Hotel Domine is one of my favourite hotels. The staff are amazing, helpful, proactive and always smiling. The location is across the street from the Guggenheim and we were greeted every morning and evening with beautiful views of this astounding monument. And of course Puppy! The food is good, the atmosphere is good, the location is fabulous. What a great place to stay!

The hotel is situated in a great location, literally opposite the Guggenheim Museum, which is definitely worth a visit whilst you are in Bilbao. The breakfast is served in the rooftop restaurant (half inside, half outside) and is fabulous. Rooms are really comfortable with top quality toiletries (we were upgraded to a junior suite which had Diptyque toiletries, very luxurious) - thank you!
