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.).

UkraineThe soundproofing is not good at all. There's no hair dryer. No fridge in the room (but there's a kitchen downstairs).
Lovely place, very good location. The area is quiet and safe. The beach is very close, there are several restaurants around and one very local and amazing bar just accross the road (also good for a breakfast), the grocery is in 3 minutes, buses to the airport are not far as well. The reception staff helped with the taxi since I had an early morning flight. Not all of them speak english but they are very friendly and ready to help using the google translator. The room is good, clean, all the basic needs are covered.

United KingdomUnfortunately you can hear everything so the first night we did not have no rest at all. There is a latin nightclub on the other block so we had people up and down that road all saturday night. As the walls were so thin we could clearly hear people's phonecall conversations, music blasting from cars and even guests making weird noises whilst having intimacy and it felt like all this noise was in the room! So if your are looking a place to relax this is not the one.
I stayed with a friend for the weekend. Receptionist 24hrs, we needed a hairdryer and extra towels and they were given to us straight away. The hostal is a 4 min walk to the beach with options to eat as well. Our room had 2 single beds which was fine for us. We also had a fan but was not used as the breeze was coming in through the window

GermanyFor such a comparably low price, it's almost impossible to write anything negative, but one piece of information for light sleepers: the doors to the rooms are not thick and so you can hear guests in the corridor - the sound insulation is generally kept simple.
• the hotel room was perfectly clean 😊 • the room was renovated some time ago and looks like the owners pay attention to the interior (we have been on fourth floor) • the location is really nice, close to the beach - in a side street (no view on beach) • the night shift staff was very friendly during check-in and made a professional appearance

IrelandWe had no inner courtyard view room; instead facing the narrow but busy noisy road. There was no patio. Smokers have to go out onto sidewalk. Room was smaller then expected. TV channels only in Spanish language.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and kitchen facilities adequate. Beds were comfortable. Location central to shops, restaurants and beach. There is a handy public bus service.

United KingdomThe pink tiling and dark wood (and brown towels!) date the original build, but the newer décor, airy reception, plus handy washing machines and vending machine mean the place is clean and cool with all the facilities you need. Located on a small one-way street that is pretty standard for Arrecife, there’s little traffic noise. Cafés for breakfast or light lunch are a couple of minutes’ walk and the main shopping street and restaurants about five minutes away. Staff were helpful and happy to store luggage for people. It helps to speak at least some Spanish, but guests of all languages seemed to be able to communicate their needs.
