Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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 KingdomSome of the reception staff were unfriendly verging in hostile. Even the superior rooms were basic with no added luxuries. The exterior image gives the impression of fronting the river when most of it is tucked behind adjacent buildings. As a consequence most of the rooms face a messy courtyard and the windowless reception area and bar is soulless.

United KingdomWhen we arrived, a woman was complaining at the front desk about the smell in her room. We soon realised that they were spraying the hotel with a very pungent air freshener. This may have been the reason why my wife had a very bad asthma attack during the first night. My friend also suffers from asthma and he had to use additional medication. We slept with the window wide open on the second night and had a better sleep. During our stay the hotel was completely full of tour groups, who swamped all the major facilities. The bar in the evening was understaffed resulting in a very unhappy restaurant manager having to help out in the bar. He was very agitated and in rushing to serve customers didn’t use the liquor measure resulting in short measures. When I questioned this, he topped up the glass. The regular staff were struggling to cope, but still had a pleasant demeaned. Also as a result of the overcrowding at the front desk, the reception staff at times appeared off-hand., although our experience was satisfactory. We had spent the previous night at Barceló Cáceres for €70, which was perfect. Our €126 per night stay at Bilbao was by comparison very poor value. If this hotel is to deserve a four star rating they should hire more staff to cope with the overcrowding when several tour groups are staying at the same time.
It’s proximity to the Guggenheim and the town centre and Casco Antigua.

United KingdomBreakfast/ restaurant room is extremely noisy. Staff clashing plates and cutlery almost gave us heart attacks. Restaurant meal one evening almost unbearable. We felt rushed and not in particularly comfortable surroundings. Tea making laborious at breakfast. Tea/ coffee should be served to the table. Extractor fan in toilet area in room did not work. Wash basin/ bathroom area poor. Maps issued poor - tiny text. Bilbao must be able to produce something better. Television in room for english speaking poor - two news channels only, one of which was Turkish. Could do with complimentary slippers in rooms because of hard floors. Staff in bar area slow.
Cleaners/ maids very good. Reception staff generally ok, but could be quicker. Good variety of food of good quality available.

UkraineGenerally, the hotel didn't correspond to a 4 star hotel. The breakfast was average. The coffee was terrible, the pastries weren't fresh, no vegetables or salads. There is no swimming pool or spa. The rooms didn't have a bidet. They didn't have double beds! So if you book one expect to get two twin beds tied together with very uncomfortable bed edges in the middle.
The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location is excellent.

ItalyNot acceptable to pay for a superior room and to have for the first night a room 10mq (10m2), with a very small bed, for 2 persons. If this happens, I expect from the manager of the hotel at least an excuse. They made a downgrade of our reservation and changed the room to a superior room for sec and third nights only after insisting. Moreover not acceptable a 4 star hotel not answering to few mails before the arrival, requesting infos about garage, bike rent. In general the staff of the hotel is kind and careful to the customer satisfaction, but these mistakes invalidate the good job made by all the other people in the hotel.
Excellent position, quite good breakfast. superior room is comfortable as you can expect from a 4 star hotel.
