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.).

PolandRoom we booked (superior) is on the smaller side - something to keep in mind. We would appreciate more hangers in the restroom and room itself but that’s only if I’m being picky.
One of the best boutique hotels we’ve ever stayed at. La Fonda exceeded our expectations by far. Location is amazing in the heart of old town, countless bars, cafes, restaurants in literally 1 minute away and at the same time at the quieter square. Breakfast was simply great. All products are organic and top quality. Staff is ideal mixture of attentive and relaxed which we really appreciated. Special thanks to breakfast waiter who did his job incredibly well. We felt like at home away from home. I wish there was La Fonda like hotel in every destination we travel to. Vibe of the hotel and level of attention to detail is amazing. Highly recommend.

CanadaWe knew we were getting a small room, however a few hooks to hang towels, redistributed coffee, safe area to allow for proper hanging space would be good. The outdoor patio could use a little greenery .
We loved the property, beautiful… location, location, location was excellent! Service impeccable, food was really good, and the Jane restaurant excellent, with live music- perfect way to end our vacation.

United KingdomOne small thing. I am a very light sleeper. Because of the design of the hotel anyone speaking loudly in the reception area/foyer can be heard. On the Thursday evening a few people talked loudly till around 11.45pm. I think after 11pm they could politely be reminded to keep their voices down. Other than that everything was excellent.
Fantastic staff. Excellent breakfast. Clean comfortable room.

GermanyStandard room was a bit too small to accommodate two suitcases. Apart from that there was really nothing missing.
Beautifully decorated hotel in the middle of the charming old town of Marbella. Wonderful and delicious both cooked and buffet breakfast. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed one night with live music and an extremely good singer and very exceptional creative cocktails. Would definitely come back.

United KingdomNext time we stay at La Fonda we will book larger room as our bathroom too small with little space. Although we did not eat in restaurant at night ( same area used for breakfast ) we would have if Old Church restaurant was open but understand this would be due to time of year.
Breakfast exceptional and plenty choice all cooked to perfection. We are regular visitors to Marbella but never stayed in Old Town area but loved it

AustriaNothing, really. Just a tiny suggestion: the bathroom could do with some additional hooks for clothes or towels. And the entry area to the room maybe with a place to hang a coat or a jacket.
Awesome staff, welcoming from the very first minute. Superb hospitality from reception to housekeeping and the breakfast team. Our room was a Maisonette (tower room) with direct access to the roof terrace. Maybe not for anyone due to some steep stairs, but for us this room was great: lots of privacy, light, views over the city roofs. Breakfast was nice and made even nicer by the cheerful team. All in all: this is the way a hotel should be. A friendly space for guests to feel at home away from home. We will be back!
