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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomNothing. Everything was perfect! Don’t change anything.
Everything is absolutely perfect! From the warm welcome upon our arrival to the genuine hugs of friendship as we left. This really is a tranquil retreat with the most stunning views, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and fun staff. They made us feel truly welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was incredible. So lovely to have home cooked local produce in such an idyllic setting. We stayed for a week but wished it could have been longer. We will definitely return.

SpainI'm an over-packer (sorry) and also brought along laptop and files and writing material I was working on. So I had a lot of "stuff" with me and had to rearrange things in the room a bit to find places for my things. However, I adjusted and got creative so it was no problem. Also, the gracious staff helped us get everything to our room.
Fantastic staff, beautiful location, amazing chef, wonderful cool saltwater pool. The natural environment and views were phenomenal. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us and they changed our room (even though they were fully booked) so that there were the least amount of stairs to negotiate. The room was very quiet, great bed, great shower., We didn't expect to have dinner there every night but the food, service and view were so fabulous that we did eat there every night. They give you the menu each morning and you can decide whether you want to have dinner there that night. They created an individualized menu around our dietary restrictions. Breakfast was pretty terrific, too. Owners are caring, friendly and hands on.

New ZealandThe access road is very narrow and winding. Although there is not a lot of traffic on the road it is quite a challenging road. But worth the effort.
Place was beautiful and loved sitting by the pool looking at the view. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with it own private deck to sit out on. Food for both breakfast and dinner was great.

SwedenSteep and narrow road (to paradise).
In no particular order, we really liked the following things: the fig tree that graces the dining area (so delicious), Patricia the proprietor of the hotel and much of her staff, namely Begoña, Ana and Ariadne, are totally wonderful and attentive, the swimming pool area, the beautiful breakfast, the surrounding landscape and hikes along the river, the small size of the property (10-15 rooms)…

Our stay at La Almunia del Valle was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of Sierra Nevada’s natural beauty, the hotel offers breathtaking views that nourish the soul and bring a deep sense of peace. The atmosphere is serene and calming — a true escape from the noise of everyday life. What made the experience even more special was the genuine warmth and care of the hotel owner. Every day, she took the time to personally speak with each guest, ensuring their comfort and listening with heartfelt attention. It’s rare to find such thoughtful hospitality. This place is not just a stay — it’s a memory that stays with you.

United KingdomAs others have said, the lack of privacy to the toilet door is a small problem. There could be some decaf coffee in the room & in the machine. But these are small suggestions. Sometimes at dinner the waitresses were very busy. We’d love to come back and stay for longer.
The location, the food and the hikes were great as was the hospitality from Ariadna and Patricia. Catering was vegetarians was excellent - thank you. The people really make the place!

United KingdomNada, nothing, no complaints ever! Just wish I could have stayed there longer :)
The most perfect place I have ever stayed!! I almost don't want to write a review because everyone will want to go! :) This was my second time here, and it has become my sanctuary and my happy place, I plan to return every year if possible. The gourmet breakfast is delicious, with different options available every morning, fresh juices, fresh fruit, and excellent coffee! Dinner is fabulous with excellent service, tasty Michelin level food, beyond expectation! The place itself is perched up on top of the hill very close to a beautiful hiking trail called 'Monachil Los Cahorros' - (anyone can do this trail whether you want to do a shorter or longer route). The most tranquil and beautiful spot you will ever visit, whether its a solo trip like me or with family, friends or a loved one! The most amazing views from the hotel (which is a boutique sustainable hotel) - The bed was an absolute dream, and all the rooms are perfect, with beautiful detail! Muchisima gracias a Patricia, Manuel, Ariadna, Tatiana, Ana y Fran (and everyone else who works there too) - You all make this a special place!
