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.).

United KingdomA mirror over the desk and a table lamp would be nice and at the price point, would have expected bath robes as standard. Shower both freezing and scalding hot - inconsistent temperature. Both my husband and I received welcome emails in Dutch!
Easy secure parking under the hotel with large spaces to park, although €25 a night is expensive. Good area for a one night stay with good bars and restaurants a short walk away. Signed up for their loyalty program and got a free welcome drink in the pleasant bar. Big comfortable bed. Friendly competent staff.

United KingdomNothing disappointed us, it was an excellent experience!
I've never experienced such a positive experience at a hotel - the decor is elegant, the view from our room (sea view Junior Suite) was absolutely stunning, and the staff were fantastic: my partner and I were visiting to celebrate his 40th birthday and they went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable and memorable time. We purchased the massage, spa and dinner package and I was very pleasantly surprised by the meal we were served (a generously portioned set menu of delicious food), and the couples massage was great. I can't recommend this place enough!

United StatesThe bar, gastro pub and dining room are all in the same room which lacks atmosphere. We had a snack in the bar one evening and didn’t enjoy it. The hotel has an unusual policy of providing room cleaning between 9 - 5. If you want to make sure your room has been made up before you return in the afternoon make sure you tell the front desk what time you would like it cleaned. We didn’t do this the first day and were surprised when we returned at 3pm and the room wasn’t cleaned. This is a personal choice, but we found the mattress hard.
We had several issues, but the front desk staff and the maintenance man responded quickly. The hotel has a parking garage which was a big plus. As the weather wasn’t great we didn’t use the roof top area but it would be a good place to hang out in the summer. Our room was comfortable with plenty of storage space. The iron was useful.

United KingdomThe restaurant was a little dead. Would have been great to have a bar up on the rooftop (although we could carry drinks up from downstairs)
Location is great, near old town but away from the crowds, lots of great shops and cafes nearby. Rooms were modern and spacious. Rooftop (pool & lounge area) were a bonus.

GermanyOne evening we thought we’d try the bistro to have a simple dinner, but when we asked to sit by the window the waitress said no and literally threw the menus onto another table. We walked out and reported it to reception the next morning. Management were very apologetic and concerned.
Very good location with great view of San Sebastián from our room. In general very good customer service & great breakfast.

GermanyThe weather.. but I can’t blame the hotel for that.
It’s not very often I’d rate a hotel 10/10 but this place was incredible. Would be nice if they put the lights on for the upper terrace as I spent most evenings up there having a glass of wine. The food, the views, the staff were all top draw. If you choose this place to stay try the buttered fish. It’s so clean and well decorated it’s hard to find a negative. Loads of areas to sit and either lounge around or work. Internet was around 70Mb so no complaints either. I’ll return without a doubt.!
