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.).

The location of the hotel is perfect. The staff was super helpful and although there was a significant problem with the water they did their best to turn our stay to an enjoyable one. The owner and Isabella were wonderful and we thank them very much.

United KingdomThe restaurant was closed on my first night, but the hotel messaged to let me know that I needed to make other arrangements. They said what was available locally and the times of closing, which was very kind.
I booked to be near the start of the Caminito del Rey. It was a few minutes walk from the hotel to El Kiosko, the shop/bar where the walk in to the Caminito begins (across the dam and around the corner). The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the 2 nights I stayed there.

LithuaniaWe made a reservation a month ago but only day before arriving we've got a message that the restaurant is closed. That is a little like a cheating because we explicitly looked for a place with are restaurant when we've made a reservation. Keep in mind that there are no fridge, cutlery, glasses and hair dryer in the rooms. It is expected because these things are not listed in facilities of this hotel. But I very rarely stay in hotels with no basic cutlery in rooms :) However, staff was kind to keep our food in restaurant fridge.
Great location to stay if you plan visit Caminito del Rey. Free parking is next to the hotel. The start point of caminito is just ~20 mins by foot - we reached it with my kids easily. Staff is also very helpful - I had a flat tire of my rented car and the guy at the reception helped me with English to Spanish translation. Also explained us what is the best way to reach caminito.

GermanyThe room got pretty cold at night in February.
Amazing location if you want to walk the Caminito. We chose the earliest hiking slot and it was so convenient to just walk to the start and leave the car by the hotel. The staff was also amazing and explained everything we needed to know about the Caminito. There is free parking available just down the road from the hotel. The room was basic, but clean and comfortable.

FinlandThe room lacked a hair dryer.
Most peaceful, a little old fashioned but that’s why SO pleasant and beautiful hotel near Caminito del Rey North access. Unfortunately the hotel restaurant was not open due to winter pause. (El Kiosko restaurant was open - quite a modest kitchen.) Breakfast was though served at the hotel. Bread was fresh and warm, great! Good beds. Clean room. Friendly staff.

SpainBeing VERY picky here, and even if it's silly: The pillows. Ask for an extra pair if the pillows feel thin or you will need to cushion them.
The place and the location is unparalleled. 20 minutes walking to the El Kiosko, right out of Caminito del Rey. With a great restaurant to eat, and even better people. They were very caring and accommodating, specially taking into account how late we arrived.
