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.).

AustraliaWifi wasn't great in the room, but fine out in the common area.
Really enjoyed this hotel. In a great location in the old town. I was worried it might be noisy, but turned out to be fine. We didn't notice any noise at all. Clean and comfortable.

SwedenMini bar fridge doesn’t work at all, it would be nice to have it during our stay
Great location in the casco viejo, multiple options of bars and restaurants downstairs. The room really comfy and hotel is cozy and nice decorated. The room with balcony to the street is perfect with a small table and chair. The window is great noise cancelling and AC works perfect so we had a very pleasant stay.

United KingdomExcellent location in the Old Town in the centre of everything, close to great neighbourhood bars/restaurants, and yet it was so quiet (even though we had a room with a balcony that faced on to the street)! Staff were super-friendly and helpful with information about the city, and the room was large, clean and comfortable. Quirky old building, but has an elevator for anyone with concerns about mobility/access. Communication with directions, access etc was all clear.

United StatesThe shower was a bit leaky.
Well appointed room, with two chairs to sit in. Right in the middle of old town, so easy to explore on foot. Although we were located right above a loud street, the room was very quiet, no disturbance at all. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Really grateful to the host for calling a cab to pick us up at 6 am on a Sunday morning to get to the airport. Bilbao is a beautiful city, we enjoyed it greatly.

United StatesWell, my friend in another room battled three unpleasant mosquito bites and I killed one in our bathroom. Also the internet did NOT work at all in our room necessitating us to sit in the public area to use it. That was inconvenient.
Our room was very nice with two beds as requested and it was very quiet. But a large window opened onto an interior area that was rather unpleasant. Solution was just to keep window closed. Staff was amazing!

IrelandWonderful location with everything on your doorstep. The bedroom was lovely, bed was extremely comfortable and even though the location is in the Old town, there was no noise from the street. It was lovely to chat with other guests in the kitchen/dining room area at night and we had breakfast both mornings which was very good value. Very accessible by tram and bus and close to a beautiful food market. Highly recommended

GreeceWe had an absolutely wonderful stay at Iturrienea Ostatua! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by the staff, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The location is perfect, nestled in the heart of the Old Town, with charming streets. The room was cozy, clean and thoughtfully decorated. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Iturrienea Ostatua to anyone visiting Bilbao.
