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.).

This is a very small cosy hotel if you like to have a bar and lounge area, this might not be for you. Having said that there are plenty of different bars and restaurants right next to the hotel in the center.
All staff very friendly, very efficient and helpful, all needs were met. Rooms comfortable, quiet, a homely atmosphere with view of Basque houses and hills. Perfect location for beach, restaurants and shops a short walk away.

We had an excellent one bedroomed apartment, which had good facilities for a longer stay (we only stayed 2 nights). We were able to cater our own breakfast - the boulangerue, open at 7am is a few yards away. Bidart has some excellent restaurants and fantastic beaches although it rained when we were there. It is a very attractive location. Staff were helpful and attentive. We enjoyed our stay.

Everything was great and exactly as advertised. Restrictive check-in times are a bit of a hassle, but the staff made it as hassle free as possible.
Fantastic location and very kind and friendly service. We arrived just after the reception closed for the afternoon and they managed to find a solution for us to check-in.

Very quaint hotel in a quaint town, we were traveling with our dog, there were no problems. Staff were friendly, parked in there parking lot which made us feel secure though there was parking areas opposite the hotel but I would imagine would get very busy. Lovely location, 5 mins walk to the beach, 1 minute walk to shops and restaurants. We visited the pizza restaurant just up from the hotel who were very accomadating with our dog. We stayed 1 night but wished we could of stayed longer!

Price a little bit high, but given the location / period nothing dramatic. The parking is very small, with only 4 places available and fully booked during our stay, reason why we had to park in the street. We have found spots nearby, except for one night, when we had to park a little bit far away.
Beaches of Bidart can be reached on foot. Route National very close by to go towards Biarritz or San Sebastian. The apartment was cosy and comfortable. Cleanliness was good. The kitchen well equipped.

Underwhelming for three stars, particularly in the context of room furnishings and the austere bathroom. False advertising regarding breakfast options and parking availability. Stuffy attitudes from members of the staff, particularly in the context of the false advertising.
Nice building, centrally located, Basque culture everywhere.
