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 pool wasn’t open which was t clear on booking.com. It was very hot. June 15th opening is very late considering the heat end of May This was disappointing as we booked this hotel for the pool.
Great breakfast. A lovely art deco old Spain feeling in the hotel

United StatesNo major complaints! Only minor ones: The room keys seemed to be de-activated daily and we had to go to the front desk to re-activate (we did not store them near our phones or other magnets). Because one needs a key inserted in the slot in the room, we were unable to leave devices charging when we were out. We would have loved washcloths, not just towels (an American thing?). But one of these was a big deal. Overall our stay was excellent and we would absolutely stay here again!
This was a lovely, well-maintained hotel and met our needs perfectly! We traveled as a family of three. No need to pay for their breakfast -- it was easy to walk to a cafe for a croissant or pastry in the mornings. Perfect location in walking distance to everything, including the monastery in San Lorenzo.

IrelandThe rooms were screaming of updates. The hotel was lovely but the rooms look like they have been stacked in the 80s. What we didn't like the most is the absence of a kettle to make tea/coffee. Doesn't really reflect a 4 star hotel.
Great location, beautiful hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly. Nice size of the rooms and the bed was comfortable.

Czech RepublicThe rooms and commons areas would need some refurbishment. I have expected the interior to be nicer. Only the breakfast place met my expectations. There is no consierge service, you can only leave your luggage in unattended storage room.
The perfect location very close to El Escorial Monastery and the bus station. Just 5 mins walk. The railway station 30 mins. I had very nice walk to the town center with nice restaurants and bars. It was really worth to pay for the hotel breakfast - nice place, variety of food offered and very nice view of the garden.

Spain- Noise isolation might be a minus if your next door neighbours are loud. - I missed a trash bin in the room, besides the small one in the bathroom.
+ I enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere, clean room and nice view from my window. + I received a king size bed as requested. I appreciate my needs being met. + The amenities on offer were great. + The staff was very friendly and helpful. The team does not hesitate to assist you in any way. + Location is impeccable. + The design and building is in perfect conditions and very well maintained. + Front office is 24 hours. I arrived around 10:30 PM and it was great to know that I won’t have problems to check in. + The check out is fast and easy. You even get messages to automate your departure.

GermanyFirst, not sure if the rooms are cleaned well. I found clumps of hair in the blanket in the cupboard, cobwebs around the ceiling, mould in the bathroom and dust on several surfaces. Second, the standard rooms have no soundproofing at all. You can hear people talking, switches being turned on and noises from the adjacent bathrooms. Luckily the staff helped me get a quieter room otherwise it was impossible to sleep on the first night. Quiet overpriced due to not much competition in the area and not a 4 star standard considering these negatives
Well located from the monastery and the Euroforum. The staff are the best part of the place and were very kind and helpful with every single request. The top floors have a great view.
