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.).

GermanyThe communication was confusing. I only interacted with the restaurant staff, who seemed not to expect us. The main room smelled very strongly of air freshener that was plugged into the wall, which we found quite unpleasant, so we unplugged it and opened all the windows and doors, which helped a lot. The next morning, we could smell something that resembled sewage drains. The managers of this property have to fix the problem, rather than try to obscure it with chemical odours.
My partner and I stayed here for just one night, on Saturday January 13, during a hiking holiday. This is a spacious flat with plenty of storage, so it would be ideal for a longer stay because you can unpack. Also because the kitchen is large but they didn't provide anything beyond equipment. This was especially a problem for us because there was nowhere open in Arure except for El Jape restaurant, which provides limited packages of food but no groceries. We had expected there to be a grocery store or supermarket with fresh produce so that we could cook our own food and prepare our own breakfast. Be aware that if you want to use the kitchen, you should be prepared to buy what you need before you arrive. The bedroom and double bed were comfortable, as was the shower room. A portable heater was provided in the bedroom but we didn't need it because the weather was perfect. What I loved the most were the potted succulents decorating the outside area. The terrace offers a wonderful view and it's a great place to watch the sunset from. We weren't bothered by any sounds at night, even though it's on the main road.

United KingdomThe wifi didn’t really work inside the cottage (except one corner of the living room), but there was enough reception to browse using own mobile data. There are doors between the rooms but no walls up to the ceiling so really it’s all one room :)
The apartment was an entire house with dedicated space for parking and we had a lot of space. Rooms well equipped and everything was clean. There was also direct sunlight in the morning. Ideal base to start hikes from without needing to drive far or at all.

United KingdomThe main problem was that the adjacent El Jape restaurant was closed in the evenings, as were all other restaurants in Arure. Rural Gomera did have a small shop and there were a couple of other small shops but nowhere that we could find breakfast/rolls at 08.30, including the small bakery. I think we would have enjoyed an excellent couple of days at Rural Gomera if we had been able to purchase breakfast and especially evening meals anywhere in Arure, or even if we had known that this would be the case in advance. It did not help our cause that we speak very little Spanish and could not communicate adequately with the owners, who spoke very little English (this clearly our inadequacy more than theirs)
The view is excellent from the property and the adjacent terrace. The facilities are good.

United KingdomWe stayed in Mid February 2023, it was a bit cold in the rooms- there is a small heater and plenty of blankets. The lighting could have been better, amount of and not to dip every so often. There is a shop, Panaderia, back in the town ( only open am) best to get food there, more choice and reasonably priced. We didnt use the restaurant close to that shop but it might have been cheaper than the one next door. Bathroom could use an update.
The location of the apartment is perfect for coastal walks like La Merica and inland forest exploration to Las Hayas and beyond . The beds were very comfy, plenty of hot water. Apartment was spacious with a lovely terrace in the plants and trees, great sunset and hill views. See pic Very handy to have a shared use of the washing machine under the property.

AustraliaThere was an aura of “rip off” here. The food prices at El Jape restaurant were not written down and were double the normal Spanish and Canary Island prices. We organised a taxi with them to go 14 Km and thought it was to be 15 Euro but turned out to be 50 Euro. The taxi driver was obviously working in cahoots with them. Beware!
The room was fine and the people seemed helpful it beware, they are overcharging people
