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 location and value for the place were perfect! Located in a fun neighborhood near the city center. This place has all you need for a few nights in Madrid! I will for sure book again. Gracias
There was a bit of noise but it was to be expected. And you can't get upset about people enjoying themselves.

Verified reviewlocation.
There was no air conditioning; the rooms were extremely hot. There was no trash bin outside the bathroom. The shower was too small and falling apart, and the beds were not very comfortable.

Verified reviewHonestly, I didn’t like any thing about this property!! It was my worst experience ever!!!
It was just a corridor of 6m2 with no place to move, the bathroom was not clean with flies inside. The place was very noisy and the best of all, there was no air conditioning at 35 Deg outside!!! A place to avoid, I don’t recommend this establishment to any one.

Verified reviewConvenient location I the centre and good price, felt pretty secure , and grateful for the lift for getting luggage to the 1st floor. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Room was clean.
If you have a cat, don't bring it... not enough room to swing it! I had a single room, so cannot comment on others, but my room was a very narrow L shape and the worst feature was the toilet. my butt abutted the small heater at the far end, thigh against it. Being not so spritely these days, it was a bit of a challenge wedging myself in then getting up again.

Verified reviewThe bed was small and the room was small. So for some days it was ok. Had to keep most things in my suitcase. The bathroom was big. The small bed confortable. No air condition, but not needed in this days. Good wifi. Elevator there. Staff helpful!. Location very good!
Had only one big cushion. A smaller soft one would be nice.

Verified reviewOverall, I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The staff were welcoming, and the facilities were well-maintained. However, I udid encounter an issue with my room. Unfortunately, the bedroom window faced a void that emitted an unpleasant odor, which made it impossible to keep the window open for fresh air. As a result, I had to keep the window closed throughout my stay. Location was fantastic.

Verified reviewThe location couldn't be better, and the staff, mostly kind and communicative Jessica, was excellent. The single room with private bathroom was small, but not constraining. Good space for laying open the suitcase and getting it out of the way.
The front door to the building was very, very heavy, and with a dangerous step, but... it is a period building, so nothing the hostal can do about it...
