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 reviewAble to park in street
Soulless business hotel which seemed almost empty when we stayed. A VERY long way from old town - not 20 minutes walk as some reviews suggested, more like 45 minutes. But worst of all was that having downloaded menu in room and noted the restaurant was open 7 days, having seen a menu in the lift also claiming 7 day opening, and having asked the receptionist what time we could eat in the restaurant, we returned to find it closed and only a bar (no food) available. It also appeared to be closed for breakfast next morning. Really unacceptable in a 4* hotel as was the fact that I found a discarded toilet roll in my bed.

Verified reviewFront desk staff were very friendly. Hotel looks very new but seemed to be quite empty. The breakfast buffet was good.
The location seems to be poor. We couldn't get a taxi from the train station and had to walk to the hotel. Maybe because it was a Sunday, the town seemed to be deserted. We didn't find any restaurants or stores nearby.

Verified reviewWe picked this hotel for ease of driving / parking as we were only using ponferrada as a one night stop over. Hotel met our needs with a large clean room , secure parking and a very good breakfast. It is a 30 minute walk to the castle which is a must visit and it should also be noted that the residential area just 5 minutes walk away has a great choice of local / good restaurants and bars. - we had a really good menu de dia as a late lunch and also spent a pleasant couple of hours same evening halving wine / tapas
We were very pleasantly surprised with all aspects of the hotel and its slightly out of town location. Unfortunately as the hotel was not busy there was just a lack of atmosphere

A ‘business’ or ‘conference’ hotel - but in effect that didn’t bother us.

Verified reviewCouldn't fault this place. Booked on the day, at last minute. Greeted by a friendly receptionist and all of my questions about where to eat etc were answered effectively. The hotel location is a little out of town, but only about 5 minutes drive. The bonus is private, secure and free underground parking. Breakfast was also great - a really well presented and complete buffet.

Verified reviewSpace , parking ample free, Breakfast , easy connection to town although at the fringe . Fast conjection to highway . Great shopping center on foot 5 minutes.
One could argue lack of character , a bit like an office town . This is a practical choice and it does it right amply.
