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 KingdomNothing. Excellent value for money!
A perfect location from which to explore the fabulous beaches on the Costa and immerse yourself in the authenticity of San Pedro (one of the few towns where locals live all year round as opposed to resorts). The rooms are clean and there is a great roof terrace for relaxing and watching the day to day hustle and bustle of local life. I didn’t have breakfast at the hotel as I was meeting family for lunch but from the set up, it looked like there’s a good range of hot and cold choices. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much for them to help you with. Particularly Eva, who told me where to find every place I was looking for, and was happy to shoot the breeze with a solo traveller who was grateful for the local insights. I will definitely stay again and have no hesitation in recommending Dona Catalina as your home from home in San Pedro.

GibraltarA/C with a remote control would be the only “issue”, but I was happy with the temperature I found anyway.
Super friendly staff. Incredible value. Location perfect - walkable to Banus if that’s your thing and so quick in a taxi, but right in the thick of San Pedro to explore too. Honestly, if you’re planning a short Marbella/Banus stay and the overinflated prices are putting you off, I couldn’t recommend Doña Catalina enough.

United KingdomAll good.
Location was excellent. Room was clean. I managed to park outside the hotel when I got there and asked the receptionist how long I could park. She looked to see where I was parked and proceeded to give me a card advising that I was a hotel guest which allowed me to park outside the hotel for the 2 days that I booked.

PortugalI didn’t like the smell of weed in the room despite the “No smoking” note. It disappeared on the second day only.
The room was clean, the bed and bathroom were also clean. It was small but for us it was ok for 2 nights. The breakfast was very good. And they cooked an omelette for us personally. There was a variety of meat and ham and sausages, vegetables and fruit. We liked the breakfast a lot.

FranceA Polish woman at the reception was very nice, polite and helpful (recommended a good Spanish restaurant), also spoke perfect English. The room was very clean and cosy. Although the room was small, there was a small table, cupboard and a fridge. The room was according to my preferences which I wrote at the booking. The bed was comfortable, no noise from outside. Bus stop is not far away, a very big supermarket is 2 minutes by walk

AustraliaAs a solo traveller I loved being welcomed by a REAL PERSON at reception. I was given tips; local info about the laundromat, travel advice about the Caminito del Rey; and I loved the roof terrace! Breakfast was superbly cooked fried eggs - the Chef's specialty. I warmly enjoyed feeling at home, and was surprised it was a big hotel. If you want a wonderful experience, book here.

CanadaThere were some ‘cosmetic’ things that could use some touches, like broken tiles in the bathroom, some trim in need of repairs, etc…
Not glamorous, but everything worked as it should and it was comfortable. The climate control within the room worked well and the beds were (European) firm. Some North Americans may find them a bit hard. Breakfast was basic, but acceptable.

GibraltarI banged my head with the hanging TV, but I must say that I am a clumsy type !
I stayed just one night as I had to attend a clinic nearby. The staff at reception a Polish lady was extremely helpful and made sure that my stay would be pleasant, she is an asset to the hotel ! Room size was decent and clean. The hotel is very close to restaurants and shops. Parking around the area is limited to blue zones, but if you just walk a bit further away (5 mins) you can get free street parking, note that the area has zone emission restrictions and you would need a permit to enter with your car. Would stay there again.
