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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Excellent location, right on the Camino and near everywhere you wanted to be, the room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, the lady on reception couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, and a decent public restaurant on the ground floor. We stayed 2 nights and had a full day exploring the wonderful city that Santander is, and all round Hotel Picos de Europa couldn't have been a better choice

Czech RepublicIt would be fine to get better instructions on how to use the amazing cafe/bar for delicious Spanish breakfast which was included in our rate. Just use the hotel corridor to get there without getting outside. Then you tell them your room number and choose 4 things you like. For example juice, cafe and a toast and something sweet. It's really a very smart solution and very delicious!
I was wondering why was this simple hotel so highly rated until I stayed there. It is simple but you have everything you need. It looks way worse on the pictures than in reality. Everything is new, simple, cosy. No problems with hot water or heating (via AC). Comfy and clean rooms. Nothing to complain about. When you arrive, you first see the cafe/bar with the same name, just use the passway next to it and you get to the hotel from the outside. BUT, you can get also to the hotel via the cafe/bar. Use the stairs and continue to the "background" of the cafe/bar and take another stairs and you arrive to the reception from the other side.

United KingdomThe food in the restaurant was very tasty, but could have included more choice in the evening. However, you get 10% discount on food whilst being a guest at the hotel, so this was good.
The room was very comfortable (standard double room), with a very spacious bathroom. Towels, shampoo, shower gel and hairdryer were provided as promised, which meant that I had more space in my luggage for other holiday items. The door and window opened onto a mini balcony, and kept the sounds of the city below quiet at night. The hotel itself is located about a 2 minute walk from local shops, and about a 5-10 minute walk away from the seafront, which was perfect.

Also a good evening menu offering a 10% discount for hotel guests. Perfect location, 10 minute walk to all attractions and also to bus station.
