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.).

It is near tourist and historical sites. It was a perfect location for walking and sightseeing.

United StatesHowever, a notable minor defects: no hairdryer even after asking for one, the safe was broken, the TV did not work, the hot water took forever to come in, they had no shampoo/conditioner- just soap. These are minor, so overall I definitely enjoyed the Tantalo.
Great location in Casco Viejo. Good restaurant attached. Very nice rooftop bar, but if you actually want a table next to the edge for a great view- get there very early. (actually I think the restaurant and bar are more famous than the hotel). The hotel is ok, but not spectacular. The king size bed was comfortable. Room makeup service was good. The room was good size. The balcony overlooking the old city with looming towers of the cathedral nearby was nice. The breakfast was very good, ordered from the public menu. Mine was included in the hotel price, but often it is ala carte. They have an elevator to upper floors, which is good. For all these reasons, especially the location, Tantalo is a solid 3star hotel.

The location was great in a wonderful part of town. The room was comfortable and well equipped with Air conditioning, TV, WiFi, toiletries m, towels. The mural and decorations of the place are quite unique. It was nice to have restaurant and roof bar on the premises.

CanadaThe room, unit #1 was extremely dark, we had to use a flashlight to see in our bags. The bathroom was quite small while the room was huge. The bathroom sink is awkward to wash in.
The location was excellent for exploring , staff were very helpful and friendly, food was very good, we had breakfast and dinner. The rooftop bar was fun, great music.

BelgiumTakes a while for the shower to become hot, until then the water tends to be lukewarm. Be prepared, although if your breakfast is included the waitress expects a service fee We didn’t sleep below the rooftop bar, our sleep was okay ish with ear plugs.
Very spacious room Hotel located in the very (lively) heart of Casco Viejo Reception staff was really friendly The interior of the hotel is really stylish (although I would not decorate my own bedroom that eccentric as the room we slept in :) Breakfast was delicious

United StatesVery loud AC, told reception twice and they never fixed it. One employee was rude but I did not get his name. It is loud since they have a club on the 4th floor but they give you ear plugs. Breakfast not included.
The room is bigger than most rooms I have booked. The hotel is at an excellent location and they give you one drink for free. It has a mini bar I used to keep my water cold.

United StatesPerfect location in Casco Viejo! Walkable to all the tourist sights, good restaurants, etc. Super friendly staff, very accomodating. The room was a little noisy, but I expected it, and they provided ear plugs. However, if you are looking for a place to get a very quiet night's sleep, this is not it. The rooftop bar operates until 4am on Friday and Saturdays (and maybe Thurs?) and until 2am every other night. It's also an open lobby, which means you can hear noises from the ground floor as well.

United StatesThis place isn’t just in the center of the action, it is the action - it’s the place to be. As a result, the hotel rooms are not void of noise from the restaurant, rooftop bar, and activities in the streets.
Tantalo is such a fun, vibrant, creative experience. Clean rooms, very friendly and accommodating staff and restaurant is one of the best in casco viejo bar none.

NorwayNoisy! If you like to have an early night, find an an another hotels on weekends. Not to bad on weekdays. Because of the layout of the hotel there is always noise from the music in the lobby/bar in the evenings, and even though we got he most quiet room, there was still not, well.. quiet. Bring earplugs! Also, there was a speaker on the roof (!) next to our hotel, playing really loud music all day long. Moist. All our clothes was slightly humid when we left. Had to dry them out on our next hotel.
Very large room. Small balcony. Cool art. Good beds!

NorwayEven though we got the most silent room, it can never be silent since our floor is open down to the bar. And they play quite load music. Not too bad on weekdays, but if you need to get up early dont book here during the weekend. There even was a speaker on the roof (!) of the adjacent building right outside our room which played really loud music all day!
Very good bed. Size of the room. Art. Location.
