Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

DenmarkEverything was great. Laundry service. Very very polite staff. Great beer served at the reception, great location, great kitchen and wonderful garden with pool with various places to sit down and have a drink, dinner og relax. There is a jacuzzi as well. They helped us calling a taxi at the right to get to our bus too. We really liked it.

United StatesThe first time I stayed here, I arrived late in the evening and did not have an opportunity to truly experience the hostal. This second time though, I arrived early enough to experience the beautiful gardens and visit the pool. Hostal Chambres en Ville is a truly beautiful place, and I must express again (as I believe I did in a previous review) how much I appreciate the kitchen and the complimentary coffee in the mornings.

I the staff made me feel welcomed and were so friendly! The common spaces were cute, the wifi worked well, the price was fair, the kitchen was lovely, and the free coffee available in the morning really made my day. I felt safe and comfortable and would definitely stay here again.

CanadaThe only thing I didn't like was that the pillow was a bit to big and hard for me. But I am very weird about pillows. Having said that, I got used to it and now the place I"m at has a pillow that is too small! Ha! Really, nothing I didn't like.
Everything went well. Luis, the owner, was so helpful and kind. I loved the dogs. The room was comfortable and there was air conditioning. The shower was kind of cold! Best of all, I loved the pool. It was clean and lovely. All around were gorgeous exotic mature plantings. Also lots of places to sit quietly and take in the beauty. Another good feature was the closeness to everything you might need in town. All in walking distance. The staff were friendly. There is a kitchen that guests can use to cook. On the whole, I would go back to David if only to hang out at Chambres de Ville. I would give it 5 stars in my humble opinion!! Also, the tap water tasted good there, which is not always the case in other spots.

Chambres is a little oasis right in the middle of the city. From outside the gate you cannot tell that there is a secret garden hidden inside. My kids loved the pool and played all day. The kitchen was cleaned each day. Rooms are basic with comfortable beds. The greenery and art make the place special.
