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 KingdomI wish there was tea in the room as well, but it may have been a cultural thing to only provide coffee. A minor thing that makes no difference to how much we enjoyed our stay.
Very clean, awesome location. Rooms pretty and sufficiently furnished. Very respectful of privacy. Really enjoyed the stay

CanadaParking is a challenge but hotel does have garage. Windows needed cleaning! Coffee is hard to get for early risers. Pods in room are not enough coffee for two people, and nearby cafes don’t open until 7:30. Certainly not a big deal.
Beautifully and freshly apportioned rooms. Spacious with room for personal items. Close to beach and boardwalk.

Not the type of hotel we usually stay in, as we tend to go for small, family owned properties but it was such a bargain - approx £65 a night for a double room including parking- that we decided to go for it. Great decision, beautiful hotel, friendly and helpful staff, large, well equipped and comfortable room. Parking was ideal, directly underneath the hotel with a pedestrian entrance straight up into the lobby. Can't comment on the restaurant as we ate at the restaurants nearby, just across the road and down towards the sea. There's a row of 4 or 5, and the 2 we ate in were excellent and great value too. For breakfast we ate at a beachfront cafe, again excellent food and good value. Not stayed in Sardinero before, and really enjoyed it. Lovely coastal walks in both directions. We headed towards the Cabo Mayor lighthouse, beautiful views. Just an easy 20 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Will definitely stay here again.

CroatiaThe lights in the bathroom did not have the possibility of the soft level.
The location was great, practically on the beach, close to palacio Magdalena and about equal distance from the hiking part of the town (the lighthouse and the zip-line park) and the real center of town (center Botin). The room was spacious and the bed comfortable and the bathroom with a large walk-in shower. You can go running to the lighthouse, or the beaches, or park Lamas.

United KingdomNothing really, Sardinero is an expensive area so prices reflect the same. Food seemed quite expensive at first but was largely in line with most restaurants in the surrounding hotels.
Impressive Hotel if a little stark in architecture. Well appointed entrance in marble which caused large sound amplification from children at first communion parties, easy access to hotel parking, need to have parking as street parking at a premium. Just short walk from Sardinero beach. Room was very well appointed if not the largest but all worked very well, clean and comfortable with fridge and small coffee machine. Good size bathroom with shower. Breakfast was really good with large selection from cereals through to fresh fruit all alin between. Good transport links into the centre of Santander.

IrelandDined in the restaurant on one evening, food was good but the restaurant somehow lacked atmosphere. Also, people were arriving and walking across the restaurant between tables of diners, to access another room, possibly attending a private function. I found this a little uncomfortable while eating.
Location, spacious room, spotlessly clean, large very comfortable bed. And blackout blinds for use as required!

GreeceExcellent stay at Santemar Hotel. Very close to the main beach of the city El Sardinero (5 walking). Enclosed parking was available by the hotel at a certain cost per day but we have parked outside (not paying anything). Room was spacious, very well and tasting furnished and very quiet. Cleaning also was excellent and in general staff was very helpful. They even provided us with beach towels for the sea. You need 30-40 minutes walking to get to the center but there are also buses (1.30 euros) and the bus stop is just 2 minutes away. Many restaurants and bars around, I wouldn't go at the cafeteria of the Casino, next to the hotel because the staff is completely indifferent. I would recommend a visit at Bottin museum in the center. It has an excellent cafeteria - restaurant in the ground floor overlooking the bay and the sea and has excellent coffee and salads.
