How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewFriendly and responsive staff. Clean place with good location - 5 minutes walking from Getafe Centro. Good breakfast arranged at a near-by coffee bar. Definitely would visit again.
Speaking English by the staff will be an advantage.

Verified reviewThe hotel was fabulous from arriving. All staff lovely and helpful.
Breakfast was in a cafe minutes from hotel. First morning no problem. It is a Spainish restaurant and we know a little Spainish, but it was fine. Next day, the older woman was rude, unhelpful, it was uncomfortable. The young girl there was nice. Shame as everything had been lovely.

Verified reviewThe location of the hotel is very close to the station with direct, cheap trains to Madrid's city center, which takes around 30 minutes. The breakfast was simple Spanish style, but not bad and also free. The staff didn't speak much English, but they were very friendly. We got a free drink on arrival.
The room was fairly small and the walls to the neighbouring rooms were a bit thin.

Verified reviewStaff is very friendly, and compared to the prices applied in Madrid and Leganés, it's a good deal, specially being 5 min away from Getafe Central. Also, there's reception 24/7.
You get what you pay. Beds are really uncomfortable: I could sleep, but not a good sleep though. The internet connection reaches the room, but the bandwidth isn't enough if you have more than a couple of rooms using at the same time. In resume, I could navigate well after 1AM, but if you try to use it at any moment during the day, forget it. Plus, the 3G/4G signal of the cellphone is inexistent inside the room, God knows why, so not even using my mobile data was an option. The bathroom sink was partially clogged, but usable. Shower is extremely small. If you're a bit bigger than average, you'll surely have a hard time showering. Same for the toilet, which is squeezed between a wall and the sink. There was one (and only one), power socket in the whole room. You might imagine: OK, maybe close to one of the bedsides, but noooooo. It's in the worst position ever: right in the middle of the bed, exactly where you put your head while you sleep. So, if you wanna charge something while you sleep, you might need to move a bit towards the bottom of the bed to give space for your charger. Finally, breakfast. They announce breakfast included, but it's just a voucher to a nearby restaurant. Everything at the restaurant is horrible. I went for the churros, and they served a cold, greese churros. In resume, if you're REALLY on a budget, this Hostal is OK: it's well-located, staff is friendly and you have a decent room for shower and sleep, but if you're looking for confort, that wouldn't be my number one (probably not even the top 10) option.
