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.).

SpainThe bed was not very comfortable. Creaking every time you moved. Furnishing needs an upgrade along with paintwork on wardrobes . It would benefit from tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
Loved the historical building with the beautiful internal patio. The food from the cafeteria was very good and service with a smile. We got parking outside the door for only €4.50 for 24 hours with a coupon from the hotel. Great proximity to the centre of Zafra.

Location excellent. Parking was immediately outside entrance and at 5 euros for 24 hours an excellent price. Character of parador as good as expected. Helpful and welcoming reception. . As with most paradors we loved the character and sense of history. Excellent room The courtyard coffee area was lovely.

FranceI do not understand why so many hotels prepare beds so that to get in you must destroy all the layers and then put it back together again in a sensible way. It would certainly help if they used fitted bottom sheets but even still there has to be a better way.
What can be better than staying in a former castle! The overall parador is outstanding, of course, though the individual rooms are not much better than any high-end hotel. The restaurant is superb, which is a general feature of the Spanish paradores.

Parador de Zafra is an amazing property, steeped in history. Our room was fantastic and so spacious, the restaurant was amazing with some of the best food we have ever had! The pool was great & such a bonus after a long drive. The property is well located for a walk around the town Would have no hesitation in booking again if we are in the area

United KingdomAir conditioning is switched off in October and perhaps earlier in Paradors in our experience. Same applies early season, and not weather dependant. Not suitable if you like a cold room.
Location and parking excellent with 5 euro charge by city. Ideal location for centre of town evening walk, town squares, cafes and restaurants. Good feel to hotel and fair prices for food and drinks.
