Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Booked a double room for a reasonable price. My room was stylish and convenient, specially liked the big bathroom. Because of rainy weather I switched on the heater and it made my stay more comfortable. A modern grocery store was close by and I made my dinner in the well equipped and cozy kitchen. The host was friendly and good fellow. The hostel was just on the Camino way, very easy to find.

The beds were already made up with sheets and overlay, with towel included. Unusual for an albergue but much appreciated. Very clean. Breakfast included and kitchen for our use. Right on the Camino. A great value pilgrims menu inclusive of wine at a very close restaurant was appreciated after a hard day's walk.

The Tv did not work. I complained to the host. He just spread his arms. At dinner he made fun of me several times. I felt bothered. The room was cold and the floor was concrete. If you opened the shutters, you could only see the feet of passers-by.
The bedspread was soft.

Dirty. The worst shower room on the entire Camino del Norte. Water doesn't drain well and each section is only covered with dirty shower curtains.

I you want guest to clean and put away their dishes after using them, you really should provide paper towels. Put them away wet is gross.
A good choice for the Camino del Norte. Clean and comfortable. Good kitchen with a grocery store nearby.

We booked the private dormitory with private bathroom. We went into the bathroom and there was a bunch of hair in the shower and on the drain so it doesn’t appear that they clean between guests. They mention a fully stocked kitchen and pilgrims needing to clean up after themselves and put dishes away, they don’t provide kitchen towels for you to dry and put away your dishes - I guess you are supposed to use your own. The coffee maker was filled with mold which is pretty disgusting and rendered it unusable obviously. We paid to do laundry and it came out smelling worse than when we put it in. This place seems to be highly rated but we saw that they are trying to sell the Albergue, maybe that has resulted in a change in quality.
The woman that checked us in was very nice.
