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...).

GreeceThe room could have some storage space for clothes e.g drawers or wardrobe. It was not a problem for us as we only spent 1 night but it would have been useful if we were staying longer. Nothing else to remark!
Beautiful small guesthouse in great location. The staff was great, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Really enjoyed the breakfast and the mezcal tasting offered. I would happily stay again anytime!

United StatesThe only thing that could be improved is to have a fan or AC in the room. We were unlucky that it was probably the hottest time of the year and it was so hot that it was hard to sleep, even with the window open (which meant coping with mosquitoes).
This is one of the most beautiful boutique hotel I've ever stayed in. The decoration is gorgeous, feels like you're in an art gallery. The garden is an oasis of calm and green where we spent time reading, or having a drink. The breakfast is scrumptious and the staff were delightful and super helpful, especially when we got ill on the last day. The neighborhood is lovely, great restaurants around. I would love to come back.

SwitzerlandCharming 1940s townhouse that also serves as an art gallery. Location in Condesa is tranquil and good for having access to the restaurants etc in Condesa (of which there are many), but it is necessary to take Uber or public transport to any of the tourist attractions or central areas of CDMX (would be 45 minute walk to Chapultepec Park, for example) - however CDMX is so massive that no hotel would be close to everything. We found the staff very helpful and appreciated the relaxed "nuestra casa es su casa" attitude of the staff. Giving less than 5 stars, however, because we felt the emphasis was on style rather than comfort of the rooms and there were a few minor issues we encountered. But still, we would definitely stay here again if ever in CDMX.
