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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesMattress was extremely hard, so didn't sleep well. Noise in hallway, from lobby and from rooms below woke me early both mornings, but quiet at night.
Convenient location in nice historic neighborhood. Loads of unique, historic character to building and room. Our windows overlooked plaza. Room was large.

I made this booking because it was neat airport and had NO idea of the medieval historic charm it had. Obispo is in the thick of town and walking distance to restaurants, bars and shopping. We stumbled upon a gem!!

We loved this hotel. Huge room, great bath, huge soft towels, big comfortable bed and great breakfast. Perfectly luxurious. Just like someone else said, why pay more for a Parador? We locked our bikes outside and they were fine. Others took their bikes inside.

FranceUnfortunately the en-suite is not up to standard. It is old-fashioned and had numerous cracked tiles, filled with sealant. The shower curtain support was also rickety. This is an expensive hotel by Spanish standards. We had arrived from the Catedrale Hotel Pamplona, which was superb and 50 euros cheaper than the Palace. It is simply not good enough to have such poor facilities.
The hotel is perfectly located in the old part of Hondarribia. The staff are excellent and the rooms have a wonderful historic feel.

Wonderful location in a medieval village and character building. Staff were amazing - very helpful. One of us were not well and the staff went out of their way to help us with changes to our travel arrangements. Breakfast was fantastic and the room super comfortable. Great restaurants in the village.

IrelandThere is no access for people with limited mobility, there are narrow stairs to access everything (main entrance, rooms, and breakfast area) yet being a historical site it might be difficult to adapt the building without losing its charm.
I liked the location, the staff, the rooms and the building. Despite being at the core of the historical city centre, it is a very quiet place. My family and I got rooms with lovely views to the plaza and church. I certainly would return if I have the chance. The staff at reception was very attentive and recommended a great place to have dinner.

United StatesArrival directions and a map or aerial photo would be helpful as Google Maps and Waze get confused.
This former grand residence is now a comfortable small hotel. Nice location on high ground at the edge of the old city. That makes it convenient and quiet. One side of the hotel looks out over a town square which has restaurant dining until 11pm or so. There are two bars here as well which are lively from 6pm. The stone structure and solid windows allow outside noise to be closed off to allow sleeping. Outdoor dining in the square is a treat so plan one night there. The other side of the hotel looks out over the airport, the river and France on the opposite shore. Second floor rooms on this side have generous balconies that allow easy enjoyment of view. In late July there seemed to be 2-4 jet airline flights per day. Not much. I love airplanes so these landings and takeoffs were a treat. Don’t worry about airport noise interrupting your sleep or your peace and quiet. Below the hotel on this side is a nice city park and playground and another 10 minutes of walking gets you to a laundry and a large grocery store. The bathroom is large with modern fixtures that work efficiently. Bidet too. The WiFi was OK. It needed to be reset a few times and the on-site staff was not tech savvy so relied on outside contractors with scheduling delays. Cell service signal was medium strong as a backup internet access point. Lobby signal always worked so downloading in the adjacent lounge area always worked. Electric wall outlets were adequate, better than most EU hotels of this size. Bedside outlets worked well. Enough light to read a book at night. Good quiet sleeping with shutters closed and windows shut. The breakfast was well worth it. Staff was friendly and solicitous and made to order coffees and eggs were delicious. Outside patio was my favorite breakfast table. Lots of choices in the buffet. Fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, cereals, juices. Delicious. Location worked well.

Hotel Palacio Obispo is located in a beautiful medieval palace, right in the heart of the historic old town of Hondarribia. A small hotel with only a dozen or so rooms, the staff are friendly and helpful and with great restaurants and bars close by, it's a great base for exploring this stretch of the Basque coastline
