How guest reviews work
Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done 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 of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Check in was very slow. Our room had no view at all, just a wall with aircon units. Finding hotel by car was difficult due to one way systems, roadworks and concerned when having to drive through what appeared to be pedestrian area.
The hotel could not be more central, easy walking distance to all sites. Bars, restaurants and shops all around. Ticket office for hop on/off bus tour next door. Room was clean and bed comfortable.

The location was excellent - close to the Alcázaba, the cathedral, the port, public transport etc. The room was fine but faced a wall which meant it was quite dark. However, on the positive side it also meant it was very quiet on a night, despite being close to bars, restaurants etc - it also had a very efficient fridge. In any case we chose this small hotel for its location as being in the heart of Malaga, we didn’t expect to spend much time in the hotel. The staff were friendly and informative. We opted for the breakfast which was simple but fresh and sufficient for our needs.

We wish there were a shower room for guests who have been on the beach after checking out.
We chose it because of the location. We got room 53 which was very quiet. The fridge worked well, there was allways hot water available. very clean hotel with elevator and luggage keeping after checking out. Breakfast is OK.

No extractor in the bathroom so it got rather steamy after a shower.
Location excellent, staff helpful and courteous, room quiet. Curtains were thick and had plenty of overlap either side of the windows. The external blind kept the room shaded and cool. Plus air conditioning an advantage for the hotter months.

The window was shuttered and we could y open it so did not get natural light which wasn’t ideal. There was a wall opposite the window so no view at all. Finding the car park for the hotel was difficult. We hired a car one day and gave up on the one way systems and pedestrian areas and parked in another car park which was slightly more expensive.
The location is what you are paying for here, it could not be better. The staff were all excellent, patient and friendly. They ordered a cab for us on our last day which picked us up right outside. Only 20 mins to the airport. We had got the bus and walked from the bus station when we arrived which was only 25 mins. The bus was 4€ and the taxi cost us 24€. The room was quiet.

Enjoyed my stopover in Malaga before hooking up with family and travelling to Sotogrande Very efficient staff on the concierge desk and extremely helpful Location very central just as I remembered it from previous stays in Malaga Glad to be able to get a breakfast as cafe across the street is now more upmarket I think - drinks/cocktails
