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 StatesI really like Barons. It has some quirks and eccentricities but I have stayed there twice and stay there again. If you’re looking for a perfect place it might not be for you but I love going there and having my morning coffee where I can look out over the valley.

FranceThe furniture in the room is in need of renovation. There’s a little table but no chair. They asked what we wanted for breakfast the next day ( 3 choices), but the next morning they didn’t have anymore what we had chosen. But they did offer a nice replacement.
The view is exceptional, every room has its own terrace and the bedroom has huge windows overlooking the green landscape. Some of the employees are very friendly. And the mattress is very comfortable.

United StatesThe resort is very nice, but no dinner available the night I was there since there were only 2 guest rooms booked. I was not prepared with food of my own, but was able to order takeout from a nearby restaurant.
The main attraction for this hotel is the amazing location and vistas from the property. The views in all directions are fantastic. The bed was very comfortable and the room was nice. It is located a short distance from the interesting (to me) town of Atenas which proclaims to have "the best climate in the world". I concur after 2 weeks in the area. If you do not have a car. the resort is an inexpensive taxi ride from town. Definitely worth a walk around the hilly neighborhood for some beautiful views of the surrounding area.

SwitzerlandThere are a lot of things a bit old and needing repair, but for the price I got of $20/night with the last-minute booking, it's worth it. It's a great location to stay overnight outside of San Jose before hitting the road again in the early morning driving south.
Very good value for money and great location.

United StatesThe service for getting my clothes washed took two days and I had to ask multiple times to get them back. It was difficult because I had limited amount of clothes. The ants in the room were a constant inconvenience every day in the kitchen. I had to resolve this problem after cooking and it was very frustrating. No extra garbage bags were provided soap or instructions on what to do during your stay if you needed assistance. The pool did not have adequate seating with cushions for our use. I had to bring my chair from my room.
The staff were very friendly and helpful to me with changing my room to a different one with a kitchen. I was able to use their phone when mine wasn’t working. They arranged transportation to San Jose and were helpful in getting local directions.

United StatesThe room appearance could have been better. It was not a slum in any way, the property was beautiful, but the room could have used a bit of updating.
This is an older property so there were some things that needed attending to. BUT, it was very clean and comfortable, and the view was spectacular! The staff, though few, were very helpful and accommodating. The price of the stay was more than reasonable.

United KingdomNo Aircon, just an electric fan, The rooms were hot and sticky as a result. Vertical blinds on the windows facing balcony were defective due to lack of maintenance. The bugs and flying insects. Which were in the room were offputing. It was worse when the rains began. The room would have benefitted from a better deep cleaning regime.
The location was superb, beautiful views. Staff friendly and helpful. Very peaceful and pool was clean. We had a very relaxing stay.
