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.).

The room and bathroom were clean, beds were comfortable enough and bathroom had plenty of towels and hot water. Breakfast was good, dinners were great. Staff very helpful. Location is perfect.

United StatesThe beds were a bit short for my height and old, but I expected that from the price.
Location could not have been better to the park where we hiked. The food; specifically the pre-fixed meal offering local cuisine was amazingly good.

United KingdomNothing. As long as you don't expect glamour and luxury but just simple comfort, cleanliness and lovely lovely people.
The location is just a small 3 hotel village with funicular so not great if travelling by public transport. Can only get taxi or walk to next big town. But that is no problem at all if staying for walking the area especially the Cares trail which starts from Poncebos. The owners/staff were absolutely lovely, warm and kind. The room was beautifully comfortable and everything clean. We eat in the restaurant and food was basic but wholesome and plentiful. I am not sure if Hostal means hostel as we recognise it in English, but Hostal Poncebos certainly was not. I would love to go back there for the whole experience again.

AustraliaThe location is amazing. We were really lucky with the view from our room- it looked down the river. Also really close to some of the main hiking trails. Dinner was reasonably priced! Room was simple but what you would expect for this price.

Super friendly and helpfull staff. The restaurant serves delicious food in the evenings. The breakfast is nothing special but still above average compared to many other places. The room was quite decent as well. The location is perfect if you want to do ruta del cares, bulnes or other hikes in this areas. Furniculum approx 300m from there.

South AfricaI was looked after wonderfully and I loved my stay here. It was everything I expected it to be and more. An excellent position for hiking in the area, a hearty meal in the evening, a convivial atmosphere, relaxed and comfortable, warm and friendly. Rooms are basic, bathrooms shared, door handles noisy, whiich is part of its charm and good value for money. Sergio chatted to me in my home language English and gave great advice about the hikes, their timing, and general area information. As I say, really enjoyed these few days. Thank you Hostal Poncebos

United KingdomNothing.
Super, unpretentious, honest little family-run hotel on a small road and river at the foot of a staggering limestone gorge - an incredibly lovely setting, minutes on foot from the start some of the most famous and beautiful trails in the Picos. A most kind and genuine local family run it, working all the hours to provide clean rooms, an all-day bar service and a full menu of simple, tasty home-cooked dishes in their restaurant, where a full 3 course dinner with wine included for just €14 represents outstanding value. The bedroom was clean and attractive, the bed and pillows comfortable, it had the private bathroom I had booked, with a good supply of hot water, towels and toiletries. The central heating in my bedroom was good - and very welcome - too. I was very grateful to the helpful blogger (shout out to kevmrc) who first drew my attention to the Hostal Poncebos as the best place to stay for exploring this part of the Picos. I wholly agree!
