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 reviewThe only thing I liked was the staff, who were kind and helpful.
The room had no windows, and the skylight let in constant light that couldn’t be covered, making it impossible to rest properly at night or take a nap during the day. This was not mentioned at the time of booking and was only clarified after we asked, once we had already checked out. Considering the lack of comfort, the distance from the center, and this light issue, we feel it was not worth the price. Unfortunately, we would not return.

Verified reviewthe room was without a window, without air conditioning, without ventilation, it smelled damp
Dear Momo80. We are sorry that your experience with us was not what you expected. I can tell you that the room has a window in the ceiling and an approved lighting and ventilation system that complies with the regulations required for the category of our establishment. All our rooms have an individual air conditioning unit with split. Yours is installed just above the bathroom door, which you will surely have seen when you enter the room. In fact, it is impossible not to see it. The control to activate it is on the wall next to the entrance door of the room, just above the light switch. Surely when you turn the light on or off you will have been able to see it too. You only have to turn it on to have the room at the desired temperature. Each room undergoes two quality controls before being handed over to guests. In your case, it was checked on the same day of your arrival without detecting any anomaly. Probably if you had informed us of any anomaly upon your arrival at the time we asked you and you had answered that everything was perfect, we could have solved it immediately. We would have changed your room and you would have probably enjoyed your stay more. On your next visit we will assign you a room with a window in the wall instead of the ceiling. We will also invite you to a coffee which helps to eliminate the bad mood in the morning and we also wish you God's blessing. Warm regards KAIZEN MANAGEMENT.

Verified reviewVery clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly. There is a kitchen where you can make a drink and microwave food. Also a fridge, which is very handy. Air conditioning worked well, everyone was very helpful.
The hotel is 20min walk from la Nucia which is walkable, but for us was a little bit too far out as we didn't have transport. We would prefer to be able to pop back during the day, but I know that is our preference and other people were using the sports facilities nearby which the hotel is very convenient for. I would still recommend the hotel and feel I should have thought more about the location beforehand.
Dear Lesley, thank you so much for your comments, it was a pleasure to meet you. Regards and thank you from our team.

Verified reviewCommunity space is good
We booked a room with mountain views... and they put us in a room without windows .. . We weren't allowed to use the kitchen.. And the washer on the photos is not for guests either... A bit misleading the photos on the listing in my opinion . The room smell was very chemical... not very nice!!
Dear Ricarda Peter. Thank you very much for taking your time to write your review. Especially for the high score it gives us in Location, facilities and services, comfort and value for money. Our establishment is located in the La Alberca Industrial Estate in La Nucía, a 5-minute walk from the Camilo Cano Sports City. In fact we are the closest establishment there is. We are specialized in meeting the accommodation needs of all those who attend the numerous sporting events that are organized at the Ciudad Deportiva. We are aware that rest and concentration prevail for athletes and the location of our establishment is ideal in this case. It is also ideal for those who come to discover the region, since La Nucía is located in its strategic center, approximately 10 minutes by car from the most interesting places to visit in the region, be it a beach, a picturesque town or mountain. Being in the industrial estate we have few views and we are surprised that any client requests those views specifically. If this had been the case as a special condition, we would have provided another room with better views, although they will never be particularly significant. At Kaizen we comply with the regulations of our category and therefore guests are not allowed to use the kitchen or machinery for cleaning or maintenance equipment. However, knowing that in many cases the very high-level athletes who often come to our establishment need a specific diet and in extension to all our guests we allow them to bring their own food and use the kitchen and dining areas, as well as the utensils that we have for them, such as a microwave, toaster, cutlery, etc. Guests are not allowed to use machinery for cleaning or maintenance equipment, but we do have a professional laundry service that can be hired at reception at very competitive prices. In the rooms we have freshening devices with fragrance of forest fruits that the vast majority of our clients like and value so much. We are sorry that it is not just to your liking and we would like you to tell us the fragrance you want in your room with mountain views the next time you visit us and we will be happy to provide it. We are waiting for you soon!! Kaizen team.

Verified reviewThe hostel served it purpose - we were there for chess tournament.
Facilities are what we paid for. We could have used more comfort like TV in every room rather than common area but it is what we paid for. Value tor money is high.
