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.).

PortugalNothing bad to mention, very good impression. No dedicated space for parking (like in other old towns), just drop your car nearby, next street or so. Definitely a good choice for wine tourism and not only!
Very pleasant small hotel, run by two nice ladies. Nice big room, with a high ceiling. It was very comfortable to sleep, not cold. Good breakfast (coffee, juice, toast, fruits, etc.). Perfect location to discover Rioja region - 30 min to Logrono, 5 min to Briones, 10 min to Haro.

AustraliaLa Capellania’s excellent reviews are well-deserved. From the moment we pulled up outside this gorgeous guesthouse/hotel and were greeted so warmly by the owners, Mercedes and Clara, we knew we had lucked into somewhere very special. It felt like we were coming to stay with family (albeit very discreet, professional family) - our long-lost Spanish cousins! The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean and wonderfully comfortable, the common areas are warm and inviting and the breakfasts are varied and delicious. All this within the walls of a beautiful historic building. But it was Clara and Mercedes who made our stay exceptional. They gave each and every guest individual attention. We were in the area for work and we could not have achieved what we did without the assistance of Clara and Mercedes who made some appointments for us using their wide circle of local contacts. This ensured we achieved more than we thought possible. We are so grateful for their assistance. One day we hope to return to this wonderful hotel just for a holiday. The town is lovely, the locals are warm and hospitable, the area is beautiful.

United StatesThe town can really be a ghost town on certain days and nights. We often had to travel to Haro for dinners. It also would have been nice if there were a couple of shops open.
The two owners are absolutely delightful. The breakfast was very delicious and we really liked all of the available open spaces, both inside and outside. We were able to easily walk to our bodega tour which was perfect!

United KingdomThe hotel is exquisite and extremely well managed. The hosts were very welcoming, informative and friendly. The hotel is very close to the small but vibrant local square - Bar Del Castillo and Bar Jesus were great for drink and pintxos. It is an ideal location for touring Rioja Alta and into the Basque Country.

Beautifully restored historical building in an excellent location, 1 minute walk from the town square.

NetherlandsThe town itself is a bit small, with very few options for lunch and dinner. On the other hand it feels authentic Spanish and isn't touristic.
The staff were super friendly and made sure there was nothing left to wish for. The room was spotless, beautiful and very comfortable, in such a characteristic and historic building. Also breakfast was amazing.

United KingdomLovely little hotel in the small village of San Asensio in the Rioja Alta region. Perfect location for exploring the various sites nearby including the towns of Haro and Legrono and very close to the beautiful villages of LaGuardia, San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Briones (to name a few). San Asensio itself has a couple of restaurants and 4-5 very down-to-earth tapas bars if you don’t want to go far in the evenings. The hotel is beautiful and well done out. Hosts Mercedes and Clara were very helpful and knowledgeable about things to do in the area. The hosts paid a lot of attention to detail. Nice breakfasts too.
