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.).

The owner was incredibly welcoming. She was very helpful and made us feel home. The rooms were cleaned everyday, we enjoyed. If I come back to Madrid, I will definitely stay here again. The location is perfect!! We had an early flight in the morning and the owner walked with us to the taxi. Thank you for that 😃

United KingdomFantastic location right in the heart of things. Staff are lovely and property is as described on a pedestrian shopping street (apart from taxi hotel drops or police). Adjacent to a great bar Street Calle de Barcelona. Some people may be put off by some noise from revellers returning home - but we weren’t.

United KingdomThe room and bathroom were small but everything you needed was there.
The location of the hostal was very central, in a great position. The building itself was traditional and full of character. The owners were incredibly welcoming, helpful and informative. The nicest of hosts. The room and bathroom were very clean and linen changed frequently. There was storage space in built in wardrobes and under the bed. The windows were double glazed to cut down any noise from the street below and there were shutters against sun and occasional noise. There was air conditioning in the room. The quality of the hotel belies the hostal * with which it is credited.

UkraineThe memory foam mattress did not work for me personally because it’s too soft, but that’s just me and should not be an issue for the majority of the people. Also, as mentioned, the window soundproof is really good, but obviously can’t block all the loud noise, which is not the property’s fault. Bring the earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.
The location is 10+ for a short trip when you don’t have any spare time to waste. Mercedes, the host lady, was extremely friendly and helpful with any kinds of questions. She welcomed us like old friends and made us feel at home even though we spoke almost no Spanish )) The room was a little dated, but cozy and super clean. It was also cleaned daily. The soundproof on the window is really good.

Mercedes (innkeeper) was very helpful and accommodating. The hostel is located right in Puerta Del Sol. It is so convenient for shopping, tapas crawl, many other tourist attractions and just checking out all the wonderful buildings. We had a wonderful stay. Mercedes also arranged for a taxi to airport at the hostel door so that we did not have to walk to the taxi stand in rain. She was up early (7 am) to let us know the driver was at hotel. Highly recommended.

ItalyRun by 2 adorable sisters this budget hotel is a perfect place to crash after a hard day of touristing. Smack dab in the middle of basically everything, just tumble out of the door and breakfast is a 5 minute walk and then the biggest decision is whether to go North, South, West or East.

United StatesBeing in the premium location that it is, there are some street noises that cannot be avoided in rooms that have windows overlooking the main Paseo.
One could not find a more delightful place to stay in the Puerta del Sol/Plaza Mayor area. What we liked most was Mercedes, the proprietor. She answered our questions and was happy to supply any extras we needed.
