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.).

Before I arrived they sent me many recommendations on places to eat and visit. Could not have been more helpful

Great location. Convenient both to the Camino and the city center. The rooms were comfortable as were the beds. And our host was fantastic! He spoke excellent English and was very helpful. He even texted us a wealth of information about the city. A great value for the money.

The room was small - but at the very reasonable price I paid that was only to be expected - but it was clean, comfortable and had is own shower, and all this just a stone's throw from the city centre. The welcome and help provided by the host Ananda was exceptional.

NetherlandsWe really liked Hostal Alvarez! Especially, the communication with Ananda was very good! He gave us some really nice tips to go to in town and had a safe space for our bicycles. The room is spacious and clean. Also the location is hard to beat, between a nice local neighborhood and the old town! Will definitely come back to León and stay here again! Muchas gracias!

IrelandThe shared toilet - the nextdoor neighbor smelt like a dead cat so after he used the toilet, it smelt the same. The noise coming from the street at night from partying people. For the money you pay, you can't complain too much, though.
The receptionist is an exceptionally friendly and helpful dude. The location is awesome.

AustraliaThe showers were in the bedrooms which we found fine as a couple, but may be difficult for friends or others travelling together as there isn’t much privacy. However overall it’s a great stopover and we would stay again.
The hostel staff were lovely - upon arrival they gave us tips of places to see during our stay in addition to recommendations for restaurants and bars! The beds were very comfortable and the hostel was in a very good location.

United KingdomNowhere to hang the towels. That that is about the only negative should tell you a lot about the place.
Very comfortable and clean room. The shower was warm and had good pressure, though looked a little strange being next to the bed. Shared toilet was kept clean. Annando was very friendly and helpful in advance communication and at check-in. The hostel is located centrally 10 minutes from the station and 5 from the historic centre of Leon but was very quiet at night. Good value for money

United StatesWhat made this Hostal exceptional was the service. Rosalia and her son run a fantastic little hostel very close to the old city. The son in particular (sorry I can’t remember his name!) was so kind and sent me a bunch of restaurant recommendations and added points of interest on a map of León and overall went above and beyond to extend a warm stay.
