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 StatesThe internet was spotty one night.
First and most important, the people. Concierge Grigor was most welcoming and helpful with local sights, food, and specifics on local transportation. Concierge Antonio checked us out with smiles and easy luggage storage so we could make the best of our last few hours in Granada. And the attached but independent café had many choices of delicious breakfast and lunch - from breakfast bowls with fruit to toasts with avocado, ham, and tomato. Great friendly service and café cortado too. The room we were in had a fantastic view of an Alcazaba tower and walls and buildings of the Alhambra above the Darro River. It was well-designed for spaciousness, quiet, and harmonious furnishings.

United StatesThe HVAC was noisy, the fan rattled when on the low setting. The bed was hard for side sleepers.
Large, beautiful room (superior with balcony) overlooking the stream and looking up at the Alhambra. Great cafe attached to the hotel lobby. Extraordinarily helpful and friendly staff though note that there is no staff onsite in the overnight hours. Ideal location - old town, everything is close by (be advised, this end of town is largely up and down hills wherever you go so plan accordingly). The Hotel is in the "no private car" part of town so you will either need to use a taxi or park outside and drag your luggage in from wherever you park (much like parts of the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona, except not so flat, lol). We loved it!

The front desk person who checked us in was outstanding. He gave us detailed information on how to access the main sites in Granada, restaurant suggestions, and was supremely helpful.

United StatesThe towel supply was sparse and kinda thin and basic. Just a slight improvement suggestion.
Location was THE BEST. We loved opening our French balcony doors and hearing the river, people, live music, etc. We walked to Alhambra and every cafe and restaurant right from there. The hotel architecture was amazing…16th century structures with completely modernized rooms. Ours was a BIG suite, worth upgrading to.

Good pension to stay in near the Alhambra. 25 mins walking from train station. Renovated place, it is modern, beautiful and comfortable. The place could be more joyful if the staff was there on a bigger coverage (always reachable and reactive but no reception at evening late for example).

PolandThis is a truly exceptional place - in an ideal location, right in the very centre, overlooking the Alhambra :-) The reception are is beautifully designed, but it pales in comparison to how lovely the room was: super spacious, with a great view, a huge bathroom and a king size bed. The super helpful, friendly staff made our stay even more special. 10 out of 10, without a shadow of a doubt :-)))

DenmarkUnfortunately, there was construction work on the building just outside the hotel. Obviously, not the hotel’s fault. But it was a bit noisy so we didn’t have the windows open, as we would normally do. There was also wonderful aroma outside from some wild flowers or trees, that could be felt in the room if we kept the window open… so it was a shame we had to keep them closed.
Great location, beautiful hotel and the room with the view of Alhambra. Nice smell inside. Interesting decorations on the wall, the building and design felt quite authentic.
