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 KingdomThe only shame was that on the first evening there was a rock concert at the city bullring - a good kilometre away and 100s of metres below the hotel, but the music was so loud (the sort you feel as much as hear) that, far less attempting to sleep, even watching TV wasn't possible. It finished before midnight and we didn't have an early start, so no great problem, but make sure you check events at the Plaza de Toros (La Malagueta) before booking the parador (or anywhere nearby) if you like to get to sleep early. Then again, if you like early nights, Spain probably isn't your ideal destination!
Superb location high above the city, next to the Gibralfaro castle, with great views. All the rooms, as far as I can tell, have the same view of the port and old city. Bedroom was large and very well appointed, with chairs and table on a small private terrace; roof-top pool; large bar with inside and outside sitting areas; very good breakfast choice. For what you get, it's decent value too.

IrelandEnglish channels on TV were not receiving the signal and no other foreign channels available. Chrome Cast available but we didn't try it. The noise goes up the hill and maybe bounces of the castle walls, so a constant roaring noise from the cruise boats on the balcony.
Room was very comfortable and very clean. Large Bathroom with excellent shower water pressure. No bath. Reception very friendly and the room was offered on our arrival, even though we arrived before check-in time. Lovely view and every room has a balcony. Pool was lovely - we were at the time of the year were it was likely a bit fresh for most people, and as a result it was not busy, The hotel provided towels for the pool. Good WIFI connectivity. Excellent breakfast, buffet with many choices.

United KingdomThe room offered on the 4th floor
We have stayed here before and loved the view from the room (think we must have had a superior room previously). This time we were offered a room on the 4th floor which was tiny with a tiny balcony and a high wall and therefore no view unless you were standing up. Asked to be moved and thank goodness they had another room or our holiday would have been ruined.

United KingdomWe weren't too impressed with some of the food at the restaurant or the cafe. Starters good, but some mains (eg oxtail canneloni, crunchy lasagne, Gibralfaro sandwich) were lacking.
The fabulous view from all rooms which have a small balcony, perfect for sitting out and watching the world below; the spacious, spotless room, comfy beds, large shower room, the reception staff who were lovely and multi-lingual. Also liked the swimming pool (not heated) and area around, still with that view.

United StatesThe dessert menu could have been better for our taste!
We were in room 310 with a lovely view, plus we could see the path to walk down to the city centro. We visited the Castello Gibralfaro, took the bus to town twice and had timed tickets for the very interesting Picasso Museum. We had dinner in the Paradore's restaurant the first night which we both enjoyed. The best part was breakfast on the balcony of the restuarant both mornings. Took wonderful photos from there.
