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 StatesI had trouble getting into the hostel to check in, but that is on me because I was inexperienced with hostels and did not tell them when I would arrive.
Excellent location. Right on the Camino Frances - there is a yellow arrow on the street in front of the hostel. There is a supermarket virtually next door. Location could not be better for peregrinos.

United StatesThe olny external signage for the hotel is the address 35, above a green door. I would suggest signage with the Hostal 35 name. This could be a small sign, but would avoid confusion to a tired pilgrim.
The location of Hostal Rua 35 is about perfect. The hotel is in the middle of the city, yet off the beaten path just enough to be quiet. Like most European hotels, stairs are involved if you want to go anywhere. Reception is on floor 1 (2nd floor to we Americans), but this also provides a bit of extra safety and buffer from street noise. The lady who manages the hotel was so very nice. When I had questions, she went out of her way to answer them. There is a really nice supermarket about four doors to the right of the front door, and a pharmacy a few doors to the left. The beautiful Leon Cathedral is less than a five minute walk. This was a perfect spot to take a 'rest day' durring my forty-four walk on the Camino de Santiago-Frances. I highly recommend Rua 35.

The Hostal is right on the Camino. It is close to the cathedral. David, the staff person, was wonderful. He made excellent recommendations and helped with using the washer and stove. The washer was included as was breakfast. Juice, milk, cereal, oatmeal, cakes, and coffee. Everything was clean and neat.
