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.).

Saudi ArabiaThe main issue is that the bathroom is not seperated or isolated from the room it seems like its in the middle of the room. The room was a bit small.
The location was amazing and very central, also the room was very clean and bed are comfortable. The rooftop was nice to hang out with.

United KingdomThe noise levels due to some works going on underneath our bedroom was pretty dire. We couldn't really use the room for rest during late afternoon or morning due to it. Together with the roadworks, we had a less than perfect stay, which is what we expected for the price charged. It would have been nice to have been warned about this prior to arrival.
The hotel location was superb, apart from the roadworks right outside, which were noisy, dusty and meaning that some taxis etc would not venture close. The room was lovely and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice and lovely fresh fruit. The staff here were also excellent.

United KingdomThe Italian restaurant's food choice was poor and for that reason was always empty. The room service menu was also poor, you'd expect basics such as fries and a burger but it did not seem well thought through.
The location is great, close by to many places and a Metro station that allows you to explore the city easily. There are lots of restaurants nearby and everything you need is within walking distance. The staff were amazing, from our check-in to check-out everyone we encountered was wonderful, really helpful and friendly.

NetherlandsNot much to be honest! All fantastic. Only small comment was some of the finish on the room wasnt perfect - a wooden strut came off in the bathroom but think these are teething problems. And the concierge's dinner recommendation was very touristy - maybe difficult to please everyone I guess but would have been good if she had asked more questions about what we were looking for.
Super attentive and thoughtful staff. Little details like a coffee offered while we waited for our room to be ready were lovely (we were early for check in but they worked hard to get us into our room.sooner than planned.) the terrace was amazing and the reservations for sunbeds was brilliant so no one hogged them all day. Great location and everything super new and luxurious.

United KingdomThe hotel tried to cancel our booking 4 days before we travelled due to refurbishment works not being finished, however it was quickly sorted out by the reservations team.
Everything about the hotel was excellent, we had the bigger room based on a corner with lots of windows, the shower was the best we have ever had, no pressure problems or temperature fluctuations, The roof top bar was lovely to sit and look out over the city and the food was lovely. The staff all over the hotel were very friendly and helpful, the hotel is situated just behind the Cathedral and a few minutes walk to La Rambla, a perfect location. I would highly recommend this hotel.

United KingdomThere is nothing I dislike about the hotel, but the traffic works directly outside at the time of my visit were not ideal, but nothing they can do about it.
The hotel was fantastic, very clean, excellent interior design, and had plenty of amenities. The rooftop bar being one of the best in Barcelona is a bonus. The best part for me, was the staff. Extremely attentive, but not over the top. Spoke multiple languages and treated each guest in a personal way, remembering names and room numbers, very impressive.

SpainIt would have been great if the pool was heated. This way it could be used a few months more throughout the year. Also, a good addition to the gym would be a running machine.
We really liked the friendly staff who have always been there for us. The rooms were modern and of a high standard. The roof top infinity pool with nice views over Barcelona is a highlight of this hotel along with the fact that the hotel is in a nice central location, so most major attractions can be easily reached.

United KingdomIt was difficult to get to and from the Fira Grand Via. I had a bad back and did not really want to use the Metro which was a 10 minute walk away, carrying a bag each day.
The room was a good size and very clean with a super comfortable bed. All the facilities in the room were fine and as you would expect for this level of hotel. The location was great to be in the centre of Barcelona but not so great for me as I need to get to the Fira Grand Via every day and taxis were almost impossible to get. The hotel staff were superb in try to help me with taxis.

From the moment we stepped out of our taxi to the day we left the staff could not do enough for us! They were very kind, helpful and gracious l The hotel is beautiful, the bed was very comfortable with the best pillows. Breakfast selection was really great. Don't miss the hotel's top floor terrace with it's gorgeous infiniti pool and views overlooking Barcelona. Location is great, just around the corner is the magnificent Cathedral of Barcelona. We truly hated to leave but we will return, there is so much to see and do in beautiful Barcelona and Grand Hotel Central is the perfect place to stay.
