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 KingdomThe hotel was next to one of the entrance gates to the town so very easy access to the attractions. We were able to get on street parking but there is an underground paying Carpark next to the hotel if that is preferred. The room was very nice and the bed very comfortable. There is a small cafeteria attached to the hotel where you can get a light breakfast. If we return to Avila we would be more than happy to stay here again

United KingdomThere were no plugs in the bathroom for the sink or bath. When I asked the receptionist, I was told that they couldn't get any at the moment. There is a general hardware shop about 10 minutes walk away in town. My elderly mother, who is travelling with me, can not stand under a shower as her feet slide. The bedside lights were too far from the bed to be useful.
Excellent location

This hotel is in a great position for visiting Avila. It's a very friendly family-run business, with a cafeteria on the upper floor (just opposite the Puerta de la Santa) which did simple but lovely breakfast. It's an easy walk into the town where there are lots of good bars and restaurants. One we've been to on a couple of visits is the Medieval and we have never been disappointed. The fillet steak just melts in the mouth! The room was quite small but had everything you need - hanging space, safe an very good aircon. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the whole place was spotless. There is plenty of free parking around the hotel but if you arrive mid week, it's best to wait until after 2 pm when the workers leave for lunch. Otherwise there is the Rastro car park nearby. We had a bit of difficulty finding the hotel as the area code of 05001 wasn't recognised by our satnav. But if you have the same problem, use 05002 and it works find. Make sure you drive right to the top of Calle Empedrada and you'll find the hotel in front of you.

The room was comfortable, clean and well laid out. It was close to all major sights in Ávila, as well as supermarkets and restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though we arrived late on our bicycles having ridden through a rainstorm, they kept the desk open for us and even helped carry our bags up to the room which we appreciated greatly. Our bikes could be securely stored.
