How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The room floors are covered with dusty carpets. No tea making facilities. We had a problem at 7 pm and contacted the receptionist via telephone, as they were not at present at the hotel anymore. At that time it was 'too late' to do anything to the situation. Also I felt that I was spoken to with an unrespectful manner and blamed for the situation.
The location is very good!

We had to re-enter the password to the wifi every time we returned to the hotel, but this was a very small thing.
Such a great hotel. Staff were lovely to us, the room was beautiful, cosy, everything worked. We felt very good in it. Right in the tourist area. Close to the beach, 5 mis walk to where you can bathe in sea. We would definitely return there.

The twin room has exactly enough space to move around the beds (if they are pushed together in the middle) and no more. We managed fine and were ok with it as a place just to sleep but it isn't roomy. Very small bathroom, could only just sit down on loo with my knee pressed almost to the wall.
Great location only minutes walk from beaches, shops and bus routes. Rooms super clean and fresh, little balcony for fresh air. Good pressure in shower.

The location is perfect, small and very clean hotel in the heart of Biarritz, close to bars, restaurants, cafes and a few steps from the sea. The staff were super friendly at all times, both at reception and the cleaning staff who paid attention to every detail. I would definitely recommend it 100%!

The bathroom was a little small and therefore difficult to manoeuvre in, but it was no big deal really.
The location is perfect. The building is very pretty and traditional. Very comfortable and nice staff. They kept our luggage for us with no issue.

There was no personnel after 18 any day so we got a code to get in. We could hear the noises from the room above. The so called 'continental' breakfast was just: croissant, filtered coffee, supermarket orange juice, pieces of baguette with butter and jam.
The hotel is in a perfect location and good value for money. It is really clean but there are only towels and a little soap, pretty basic.

The bed mattress was not very comfortable. We had the feeling we were sinking into the mattress and lacked back support.
The location was close to the beach and many bars and restaurants. The room and bathroom were very clean and spacious. We were able to leave our bags at the hotel after check out while we explored the city.

Our hotel room was extremely basic and not very roomy, and as it was on the fround floor next to the entry and check-in desk, a bit too noisy for our taste.
Very convenient neighbourhood near the beach, aquarium, shops and restaurants.
