How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewNice staff, clean very well maintained property. Nothing for kids to do at property, saving grace was the beautiful beach and beach dining within walking distance.
All pools too cold to swim in even during high temp days. Kid area was one slide, again too cold for our kids and the small playground had ropes around it our entire stay. Spent no time at property except to each the included breakfast. Not worth the expensive nightly rate.

Verified reviewThe food was lovely, the swimming pools and gardens were lovely. Very picturesque and the room was gorgeous.
We had a problem with the phones in the room they rang at 5am and 6am in the morning. We complained to reception and insisted it wasn't their fault. They didn't even want to come and check the room, just kept saying it wasn't them. However the following night the phone after I disconnected the phone in the room, the bathroom rang again at 4am. We complained to the manager and we sort of got brushed off and ended up leaving early. As we were leaving the hotel the manager ran up to us and as a 'parting gift' for the lack of sleep from the incessant ringing of the phone was AN AIR FRESHENER. Insulting isn't even the word. Not what I expected from a 5 star hotel.
Dear Emma, We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize that your stay did not fully meet your expectations. The technical malfunction you experienced with the telephone system was highly uncommon, and we deeply regret any disturbance to your rest. Our team strives to address such situations promptly, and we are truly sorry for any shortcomings in our response to your concerns. We are delighted that you appreciated our culinary offerings and magnificent outdoor areas. The meticulous attention given to our landscaped gardens and aquatic facilities continues to create memorable experiences for our guests. Nonetheless, we take great pride in maintaining immaculate premises and are pleased that you recognized our exceptional standards of cleanliness. The prime coastal setting alongside La Barrosa beach provides our guests with an ideal destination for a luxurious retreat. We sincerely hope you will grant us another opportunity to demonstrate our true service excellence. Best regards, Guest Experience Team

The way I was deceived when I reserve a spacious room of 42 m with sea views and then I found a small room where all 3 of us couldn’t move around. The views of a ground floor room face a garden then it was a public car place and at the end you could see the sea between 2 palms trees. When I complained at reception the night of my arrival nobody do anything. For more a 400 euros the night I feel I was deceived. Next time I will enquire about room conditions directly with the hotel and reserve with them rather than do it through Booking. Room n 115

Verified reviewThe sea, the nature, the sun
The dining room feels like a factory canteen. Noisy and chaotic. It would be so easy to add partitions (plants or something similar) and put tablecloths on the tables. Adding noise dampeners to the chairs would help. The manager should learn a bit of English or German and, in his role as host, engage with the customers. If a pastry chef could also be hired, then the desserts would match the rest of the (excellent) food. BTW: The reception desk is very professional and helpful. Thank you!
Dear Graziano, Thank you very much for your review. We regret to hear your dining experience did not live up to the serene and enjoyable atmosphere we strive to provide. Creating a relaxing environment is important to us, and we take your suggestions regarding the dining room setup seriously. We also understand the importance of effective communication and will ensure our management team enhances their language proficiency to better engage with our valued guests like yourself. We are delighted that you enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of the sea, the surrounding nature, and the warmth of the sun during your stay. Our location on the seafront of La Barrosa Beach is indeed one of the highlights we are proud to offer, where guests can also indulge in experiences such as the Sunset Horse Riding on the beach. Finally, we are pleased to hear that you found our reception desk to be professional and helpful. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional service, and it is gratifying to know that this commitment was evident during your interactions with them. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
