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.).

Santilla del mar is a very nice old town and this accommodation was very lovely and nearby the old town. It provided some parking availabilities, which is a plus compared to other hotels directly in the old town. The owner was very nice and offered information. The interior is (on purpose) a bit outdated (flower sheets for the bed) but it was comfortable and the bathroom very nice with a big rain shower and nice tiles. I would recommend booking this accommodation and stay there again when visiting this village.

The village was very mediocre, but the hotel owner consulted us on how to go to the beautiful mountains Picos de Europa and also to a beautiful village on the seaside, we are very thankful for his advise, those places were outstanding!
The hotel was nice, authentic, quiet, and the hotel team very helpful and supportive

This is a wonderful place to stay. Parking is offered. The hotel is Just a very short walk to the Plaza Mayor. The owner does everything he can do to make our stay in his hotel and the town an incredible experience. You'll love Santilla del Mar and all of its charm. I highly recommend you stay in the Posada. You won't be disappointed.

Great Posada, nice breakfast and a very helpful owner. There was a "clasico" on TV and I was invited to see it down in the ground floor, but had to sleep due to a long walk on the Camino.

The property is located less than 5 minutes from the town centre, bars and restaurants. Easy parking next door to the property. Room was comfortable with good shower and bathroom and good-sized double bed. Johnny was very helpful. We arrived late expecting to be unable to book a restaurant however Johnny contacted the Grande Duche, the number one rate restaurants in the town where the food met our expectations. Johnny very pleasant to deal with and will definitely book again.

My only problem would be that the walls in our room were unable to contain the noisy conversation of our neighbours. They appeared to be hard of hearing with their voices very loud and the volume on their TV even louder. Thankfully they were asleep by 11pm.
Beautiful property close to the heart of Santilliana. We were made to feel very welcome and were given plenty of helpful information as to what we might do and enjoy in the town and area. Breakfast was varied and plentiful, the room well equipped, clean and comfortable. On another occasion I would happily consider a longer stay. We were able to park directly opposite the Posada. On departure again we were offered help and advice as to what we might enjoy on our onward journey.

This is a great place to stay, so we have stayed several times. Perfect spot to stay before catching the ferry. But also Santillana del Mar is an interesting little town and Altimera is nearby. The owners are really friendly and helpful.

A lovely hotel with a host that likes to help people enjoy a good experience. Kind about my bike parking in their garage. He advised me on which restaurants to try out and warned me that I may not get a table at the best. He was right. One of his other recommendations, La Villa, was great.

Everything was good!
This small hotel was immediately welcoming and comfortable. The owner was so keen to help us make the most of our short stay and provided maps and recommendations. His advice made a huge positive difference for us. Santinella del Mar is a very picturesque village with several very good restaurants. Not many locals speak much english but that was not a major problem. Breakfast was very good - varied, typical of the area and an ample start to the day.
