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 StatesNothing. It was great.
The albergue had great character. It had likely been in use for a long time and had a shabby chic old style. It was very clean, had a large picnic table on an outside porch with great views.

United KingdomIts a bit of an uphill hike from town to get there, about 1.5km. If you're not here for hiking, it might not be for you. The owner says there's no transport/taxi service. No restaurants here, so eat in town. Breakfast was basic for the price (bread, jam, coffee/tea, yoghurt pot. No air-conditioning. We were OK in July with windows open, but got mosquito bites.
Charming little place with nice views. The room itself was simple, as you'd expect for the price. Chickens in the garden etc. The owner is welcoming and atmosphere relaxed. It's on the camino, about 1.5 km from the start. If you come in via the train station, pop into the camino office in town to get your camino "passport" and information (it's signposted) before you trek out to the room.

United StatesWasher not updated. Otherwise great place to start ask about dinner don't assume..
Location. Helpful owners. Is out of town a bit, so it is a head start for the uphill day to Ronces. I was on last train and they communicated with me regularly. Owners very patient and helpful answering all/many questions in good English. The breakfast table is outdoors and has stellar views of the Pyranees. The 10-12 dorm beds each had own plug, light, shelf, blanket and Camino bedding. Some beds even had own window. The chickens and ducks have a cute treehouse surrounded by flowers. Other owner gave me ride to town when saw me walking down for credentials. Cozy.
