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.).

Because it is in the middle of everything, the nights were quite loud with people outside partying / walking home in the early hours of the morning.
The location of the hotel was fantastic - right in the middle of lots of cute restaurants and boutiques and a short walk to Placa del Sol. The metro was really easy to get to and it was easy to walk everywhere. The room was clean and comfortable.

It was a twin room hostel close to everything, so nothing was not as expected.
Great location just of the Sol Plaza. Room was small and cosy but suitable for our megre requirements. Lots of cafe and restaurants and shops around. Reception staff were friendly, understood our English and were eager to help out.

Nothing really, apart from if you have trouble sleeping or wake up easily , you may have trouble. As with the location, there is people up and down outside your window till after 4 in the morning. It didn't bother me, I was fine with it so nothing I didn't like.
The location is seconds walk from the town.

N/A everything was amazing
The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They offered a change of sheets etc for the room even though we only stayed two nights and was ideal as the room had been left abit messy that morning. The location was perfect as it was near all amenities and the underground was also 2 minutes away making it easy to travel further and offered a way to and from the airport. The value for money was a amazing and I am so surprised how good the services and staff were considering how cheap it had been.

Not the cleanest place. Internet signal was very weak. Was not clear how to buzz at the door to get in, luckily the guy across the street came to help us buzz in!
Location was amazing, within walking distance of everything we needed to see. Staff was nice. Showers were surprisingly good! There is also a tiny elevator so you don't need to drag your luggage up the stairs.

What we didn’t like is that the room is not able to be closed at night. So you have to stay in the opened room during your staying inside.
The best thing about the hostal is the location. It is in the city centre, so you can get any necessary place in 10 minutes . The stuff was very friendly and they speak English, that’s very nice as well.

The property is right in the middle of the Madrid. You can just go everywhere in centro by walking. If you want silence, dont go there because it is loud (but you can still sleeo through it) until 3-4 am which we like because we really miss nightouts during COVID lockdowns. The room was clean but the design was not really good. However it is realy the best hostel that you can stay for this price. I really recommend!

Air conditioning worked very well. The shower was good.
