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.).

Absolutely nothing.
We liked everything about HOTEL RECTOR. From the moment we arrived our bags were whisked away to our room and our car was parked. A swift, painless check-in, a welcome drink and then were shown to our immaculately clean and comfortable room. We chose to stay in Salamanca for 5 days which was part of a road trip around Northern Spain…and ended up wishing we could have stayed longer. Furthermore anyone thinking of spending any time in Salamanca, MUST, MUST, if budget allows stay at Hotel Rector. I will personally guarantee they will not be disappointed. This small hotel is what every other hotel should aspire to be.

It’s a great boutique property. Only hotel guests use the facilities - very safe, cozy and staff were extremely attentive. Exceptional location. It’s a stay in an elegant home that’s been converted into a boutique hotel. Excellent job by front desk team - Ignacio, Eduardo, Carlos and their colleagues. Would definitely recommend to friends. Very chic decor and exquisite restaurant recommendations.

Loved everything
Loved the hotel and staff. Everyone was extremely helpful and went above and beyond. Every night and morning we would receive little gifts. Our luggage was lost at the airport, they helped us to communicate with airline company. Highly recommend also for location it was walking distance to all restaurants and main attractions. Will definitely be coming back again.

The staff at this hotel could not be friendlier and they went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel itself is centrally located and the vehicle charging in the private parking and free unlimited water bottles was a bonus. The beds are amazing, the rooms have a large smart TV and the room service food was also good. Breakfast was attentively composed at the table and although there is also a small buffet station with cakes and fruit, most of the food came warm and fresh directly from the kitchen.

There was nothing we didn't like. This is a model of how a hotel should be run.
This is a smaller (14 room) hotel that genuinely aims to please. The attention to detail makes for a pleasant and pampered stay. Fresh flowers, welcoming Cava, fine linens, etc. You expect this of a 5 star hotel but somethow they do it better. Breakfast was excellent.
