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.).

PortugalOur first impression upon arrival was that the property is showing its age. The refrigerator was heavily rusted on the outside (but worked fine). There was a large mark (burn?) on the counter top next to the double stove-top. Rudimentary caulking repairs had been applied around the stove top and the shower. It was also apparent that the room has not had a deep clean in many months. The housekeeping staff were very attentive to the daily cleaning process, but areas that were not on the daily schedule had been neglected. Several areas had not been cleaned in a while - including the pedestal of the toilet. The wifi was problematic. Firstly, it is an unsecured network without a password to access, so it is a security risk. We used a VPN to mitigate that risk. However, the connection frequently dropped and, when it was accessible, it was painfully slow. After reading that traffic noise could be a problem on the lower floors, I requested allocation to a higher floor at the time of booking. The hotel responded that it shouldn't be a problem, just ask reception at check in. I did ask at check in, but was assigned a room on the second floor. Having said that, we did not find traffic noise to be a problem throughout out 7 night stay. There were occasional noise issues at 7.30am, caused by hotel staff talking loudly in the hallway of our floor.
Location is one of the best features of this property. Located in the Plateau district, it is well situated for accessing several of the popular attractions. There are also many restaurants within easy walking distance of the hotel, including the hotel's own restaurant on the ground floor and the Caesars restaurant directly opposite. A boulangerie across the street was also very handy for picking up pastries, baguettes and coffee in the morning. The room was very spacious and included a small kitchenette and a sizeable patio overlooking the main road. The fridge came in handy for keeping drinks cold. The air-conditioning unit worked well. The flat screen TV was of a good size (no English speaking channels though). The bed was comfortable. The staff at the reception desk were always pleasant and helpful. When needing to get around the city, there were always taxis waiting outside the hotel. When returning by taxi, the drivers always knew where the hotel was located. Our departure flight was not until 1.00am, so the staff were able to arrange a later checkout (up to 8.00pm, instead of midday), albeit with a 20,000 CFA price tag. Overall, the hotel served our needs reasonably well.

SpainWe recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a convenient base for exploring the city. The location is excellent, making it easy to visit the main attractions and get around. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the positive experience. Our room was spacious and included a fridge, which was a nice touch. While the decor is a bit outdated, it didn't really bother us, as the room was still comfortable and well-equipped. Overall, a good choice for a short stay.
