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.).

PortugalI would like to see a greater level of care with the cleaning of the room and bathroom. It would be nice to arrive at night and find the bed freshly made.
Isolated enough, in a forested mountain area. Simple and frugal peace. Great place to rest, or go on adventures in nature.

SpainWhen I arrived I asked if I could get the bottom bed and the woman at the reception at that moment was very rude and unkind and gave me an speech about why I can't have it. Later on the day when it was check in time another lady was there and I asked the same exact question and she just smiled and politely said yes, changed something in the computer and gave me the key. The first lady was a shame as a costumer service It would be nice to have curtains on the bank beds for more privacy

United KingdomThere is no kitchen and so you cannot prepare your own food. It says bar and snack bar but there are only vending machines and the only food available are Pot Noodles and packet soup. You cannot check in before 5pm. This makes it very unsuitable for an area where people are hiking and arrive tired and needing to eat proper healthy food.
Beautiful location and lovely lounge areas.

Portugal- Very unfriendly person in the 5pm shift (a woman with a french accent), totally opposite of the girl that was in the reception before that shift. - Only being able to check-in at 5pm. - No place to wash your clothes, nor a place to hang clothes for it to dry - A little bit far from the nearest place to eat (nearly 1km)
- Great surroundings - Good breakfast - Adequate price

SpainThe property is quite big and can host hundreds of guests. Surprisingly there's no kitchen for them (!). There's only a side table with a microwave in the lounge, a few cups, a kettle, a few plates and some cutleries. There's one fridge in the lounge for vending purposes (water, beer, soft drinks etc). You can ask the front desk to store your perishables in there, but it's kept padlocked, so every time you want to access your stuff you have to ask them to unlock it, which is a nuisance. If your stay is short (1, 2 days) it should be OK, but in my case (17 days in total) it was a critical issue, specially because the property is located in a remote area. The closest supermarket is 20km away through a narrow winding road. There are scarce options to eat in the close by village, specially in low season, which was my case. Still, if you choose to stay in a hostel it means you're on a shoestring, therefore you expect to have your own meals at the hostel in order to save up. I've stayed in countless hostels around the world for the last 3 decades and this is the first one I come across with no kitchen (!). The wi-fi connection is good in the lounge and living room. However, it worked erratically in the bedroom I stayed, which was located in a separate lodge away from the main building. There was no socket in the upper bunk bed. You'll want to recharge your mobile overnight while you're sleeping, so you better off asking to have a lower bunk bed. There were only 2 sockets in a bedroom for 4 guests (2 bunks).
Beautiful surroundings in the midst of pristine nature. Many tracks cross the area where the property is, so if you're up to hiking you can start straight away. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast included is a plus.

NetherlandsThe lights in the shower go off automatically, which means that sometimes you might be left in dark while showering and the sensor is far enough so you need to get out and walk through the whole bathroom to get the lights back on.
The stay was great. The stuff was very helpful and even accommodated earlier breakfast to make sure I eat before an early bus. The location is remote however that add to the charm. There is a bus stop next to the camp if you need it!
