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...).

three things as a feedback to improve - 1. Chair in room should be replaced with a comfortable cushioned chair 2. two water bottles should be provided each day of stay 3. Customer should be made aware that final payment will be automatically charged on the card validated while checking in as most travellers use and load Euro card just in time on need basis
Hotel was clean and comfortable on all aspects, Staff was Good, Location is very good.

The breakfast in the restaurant is underwhelming at best. I would not recommend eating here.
Great location if you're looking for amazing restaurants. The nearby metro station is 2min walk and easy to navigate to the best Barcelona has to offer.

The shower tray of room 306 was wobbly underfoot as if the base wasn’t properly attached to the floor. The bed offered little support and I could feel every spring of the mattress. This could do with an upgrade.
Good location with fairly modern facilities. Small safe in the room. Friendly staff.

We didn’t like the black mould in the ceiling and in some of the grout between the wall tiles in an area of the shower. Evidently it couldn’t be removed. Also one power point was doing strange things at times.
Absolutely loved the location, the size of our bedroom and bathroom, having a corner room overlooking the street, daily housekeeping, great reception staff 24/7.

The price is too expensive for the facilities it provides. There isn’t a coffee machine, only one bag of instant coffee! Barcelona isn’t the tourist paradise it used to be. The price is outrageous everywhere, hotel, restaurant and tourist attractions. Even if you want to pay the price, you have to reserve ticket online before if you want to get into any Gaudí site. A big tourist trap to avoid!
The hotel is well located near the metro for visiting center of Barcelona.

The furniture was dated, the hotel is close to an apartment block and the neighbors were noisy. The strangest thing was the lack of a toilet brush.
In the center, in walking distance to multiple attractions and public transport. Breakfast was good but repetitive.

Sound isolation in room is quite bad... You can easily hear what other person is talking in the room next door or in the hall. Windows in our room couldn't be closed.
Hotel has a good location, you can reach the metro station in few minutes. Supermarkets and bakeries are near.
