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 KingdomA little noisy but to be expected so close to town.
The pension was extremely well located, very close to the old town. Access via an old fashioned lift which was fun. - the rooms are all accessed on the second floor. Teresa, the host, was extremely kind, helpful and flexible with our late check in. No breakfast provided but a couple of good cafes beneath that provided us with breakfast

IrelandIt tended to be a bit noisy at night but that was to be expected given its location, it's not a criticism.
The location was excellent. The family room we stayed in had lovely views of the sea. Fresh towels and bottled water were provided daily.

United KingdomThe check in process could be smoother; I had to go into the property with another resident to gain access to the common area to find the wifi login info to then call the proprietor. As they live on the property it was fine in the end.
The location is ideal, on the edge of the old town, but due to this it prevents it from being too noisy. The room was spotless and the AC was greatly appreciated. The staff are very responsive to any queries.

United StatesEverything was great! My only minor complaint is that there was some noise at night as my room overlooked a street in the old town including a bar that stayed open until 2am so it was a bit noisy on Saturday night but on other nights was quiet by midnight or so
A really great location, Teresa was incredibly helpful and kind when I arrived. The room was clean and very comfortable. As a solo female traveler I appreciated the physical key plus keycard access to get inside, plus there were always people visiting the multiple ice cream shops right outside the entrance so when I walked back at night I felt very safe and comfortable (plus could get a sweet treat to end the night!). The location was also great to easily access the old town, beach, and center of the city. My room had a balcony including a clothesline so that was great for drying my beach towel.

NetherlandsNo AC, I booked this hotel with the expectation that there would be an AC unit- I learned upon arrival that it was an additional charge. Luckily, I was staying on a mild day, so no need for me to get it. But be aware of this if it's important for your trip. The bed was very firm.
This hotel is located in a central spot near the buses and old town. The room and bathroom were very clean and more spacious than expected. The office held my luggage safely for me after I checked out.

United StatesThe card keys often didn’t work but the friendly staff were always on hand to provide new ones, and a functioning real key was provided for first floor entry into the building.
The location, on the edge of the parte vieja and its plethora of pintxo bars and interesting sights, and at one end of the Playa de la Concha, is excellent. The pension is hard to beat.

United KingdomThe place was very difficult to find as you are behind a pillar. when you advertise it you could mention you are next to an Ice cream shop called KUSKULO or place another sign in front of the pillar so customers can see it.
The Pension was near all bars and restaurants, so you didn't have to walk far. the bed was comfortable.
