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.).

Our room was on the first floor at the front of the hotel so there was a lot of street noise till late at night and then you'd be woken at 6am with delivery and bin trucks going about their business. .
Hotel in excellent location with most of the tourist attractions in the city easy to get to on foot. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was decent.

The room was quite small but given the location and old building, I guess it was still ok.
The hotel is located in the city center in an old building. Well kept property. Souvenir shops, shopping, food nearby. Touristy place. Felt quite safe while walking around. Late sunset allowed ample day light to roam in the city. It's in the city center so it's easy to walk around and explore at one's own pace. The streets are amazing and clean.

No waste bin in the room, only in the bathroom, no kettle. We knew about the latter, but still a disappointment. The ventilation was not very good. We discovered the temperature panel on the wall on the second day (not turned on when we arrived), so it got a little better, but still needed to open the windows in the morning for fresh air. There are only two small elevators, so be prepared to take the stairs to avoid long waits. Not all staff spoke good English (it's Spain), and the names got very distorted on the invoice. Otherwise staff was helpful, all misunderstandings were solved swiftly and they got us a taxi early in the morning.
Very nice location in the center. Excellent breakfast with lots to choose from. We had a corner room with many windows and light-blocking curtains. For some reason, the staff kept closing them. Room was smallish but in good condition and had everything we needed (we brought our own kettle). Wifi worked.

Breakfast is ok. Good coffee and fresh orange juice but bread and yoghurt was limited in my opinion.
The hotel has friendly staff, is a clean hotel, and has a great location. The room and balcony was a bit small, but I do think that is related to the location, what to expect in the city centre?

The rooms are a strange setup and could use some refurbishments and updating. The shower / toilet layout was ridiculous and every time you had a shower it would drench the whole toilet and area surrounding.
The location was so good and the staff were extremely helpful.
