Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaNot totally within the Decanter's control but we said that the room did not meet our expectation for a quiet space because it faced the Main Street where frequent late night bar patrons congregated after closing. We did not realize it was Spring Break which speaks for itself in terms of late nite noise.
Staff were friendly and attentive to any questions or concerns we raised. Location was perfect for navigating the city on foot.

United States of AmericaFurniture and decor are a bit dated and hard worn. Linens were just ok. I ordered 1 bottle sparkling water and fruit for my daughter's arrival as a surprise. Staff put it in the room refrigerator but did not alert her. I was charged $33 for a $5 cut bowel of fruit + water. The fruit bowl was clearly from a grocery store that was not eaten as intended because they didn't leave a note or tell her. They didn't take the fruit off my bill even after they realized and admitted their error. Once they easily and clearly acknowledged this mistake, I expected the fee to be removed. It wasn't, and that was disappointing. I would return to the property, but I would not ask for any special requests.
Location is excellent. Our suite #305 was quite large with a large veranda/balcony, separate livingroom with sofa bed. Bed was comfortable. Rooftop bar is unique for the area and very pleasant. Staff was friendly and very helpful save my one concern as noted. I will return.

The sheets were unfitted. Also our reusable bag we bought from castle was taken by the cleaning person by mistake & we never got it back.

United States of AmericaThe rooftop music and some of the street noise drove me in to an inner courtyard room.
The location of the hotel was superb. I lost an expensive ring and the housekeeper found it and placed it on my pillow. That ring was as valuable as a year of her salary. That is the care every guest should expect from hotel staff, to be cared for like family.

United States of AmericaCleanliness could be improved. Sheets seemed grubby/dingy and there was a stain on the bottom sheet. Would be nice to have an additional chair for seating - we used the desk chair to set our suitcase on. Missing tile in shower should be replaced. The double doors to the balcony need weatherstripping to help reduce outside noise. It is extremely noisy outside, people drive by all night with their music turned up incredibly loud. We expected the outside noise from reading reviews, but those doors don’t close completely - there’s a sizable gap between them. We did enjoy having the balcony and it was worth putting up with the noise to have access to it. We sat out there every morning and every evening.
The location is perfect. Very easy to walk to many popular tourist sites and there is a grocery store 2 blocks away and plenty of bars and restaurants close by. The rooftop bar, Bar Catedral, is fabulous. The bartenders are masters of their craft. Excellent cocktails and delicious tapas. The view of Old San Juan and sunsets are fabulous.
