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.).

United StatesI prefer a softer bed but it wasn’t terrible.
All of the staff was friendly and so helpful. The breakfast was far better than the cruise we had just finished. The location was great for walking around and exploring. Hop on Hop off bus locations within 5-10 minute easy walk. Would absolutely stay there again.

United StatesFor American travelers, at least, we would expect to see the table in the lobby set up with complimentary coffee (regular, decaf and hot water for tea). Because we often arrive with jet lag or our "internal clock" is still set to a different time zone, this coffee arrangement should be set up by 4:00 am each day. It is very difficult to find a good sized American style cup of coffee (such as what Starbucks offers) so early in the morning..... Starbucks does not even open until 7:30 up by the Jaume Metro Stop, which is very late for Americans who are used to getting up early (I would note that it is not expensive to set this up and you could readily ask for a one Euro donation from travelers to pay for it if that is the reason you are not doing it already). This is very important for travelers.

United StatesFor the price I paid, the room I originally booked was occupied when I checked in. Then, the room I was given wasn’t what I booked and was extremely small. My mother and I had to share a full size bed which was pretty old and there was no comforter in the room. The vault/lock box didn’t have a key to it so I was unable to secure my valuables. There were no full size mirrors and the hair dryer provided by the hotel kept shorting.
I loved the customer service. The gentleman who worked at the desk, made recommendations, booked taxis and just generally answered my every question and need—they were amazing, accommodating and extremely kind.

AustraliaNothing to complain about..
Friendly staff from the time we arrived. The room was large with comfortable beds. Bathroom with bath rain shower and plenty of hot water. The room was clean and well maintained. I almost cancelled this booking as I had found a high proportion of negative reviews online. I am glad I kept the booking as I now wonder if people who have submitted negative reviews have actually reviewed the right hotel. I would have no hesitation booking again if in Barcelona. The price was was reasonable when compared to other similar hotels in Barcelona, the location was good.

AustraliaAlthough clean, our room felt a little tired and dated (some of the fixtures could do with a freshen-up). We were also initially a little disappointed that our room did not look out over the street (but instead a dim back corridor), but after a while, that didn't bother us as our room was quiet (and after reading other reviews about street noise, maybe it worked out for the best).
We enjoyed our stay at Barcelona Hotel Colonial. We thought the location was perfect - right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, but also only a stone's throw from Port Vell and the beach. The room itself was clean, quiet, comfortable and a good size.

United StatesWe were initially given an already occupied room which was a little awkward but resolved quickly. The included breakfast was decent. The parking is actually offsite about 5 mins away, and while secure, having to go back and forth with the garage key added some inconvenience.
The room was surprisingly very quiet and had a balcony. The shower was great and water was hot. The room seemed pretty dated and the bedding wasn’t super comfortable but the AC worked really well and the 24hr desk made me feel very safe. The staff spoke excellent English and were helpful. The location is walkable to many places and extremely convenient.

United StatesLights off in lobby by 10:30, even though bar encouraged us to take last call to lobby. Staff literally turned off lights in lobby while we were enjoying our last call drink at 11pm on a Friday and Saturday night. Shushed several times before midnight on a weekend by lobby staff. Liked accommodations but did not feel welcome.
