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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

As a chronic insomniac, it was extremely difficult to sleep in the noisy corridor (even when I asked specifically for a quiet area), the room was not very modern, nor was it bright during the morning (the curtains weren't so new, so the sun would pass through on the left side).
The spaciousness of the room, the facilities, and the swimming pool area, as well as the breakfast, were all good

We received two pool towels which we left in our room when checking out. We advised the receptionist that we had left the towels in our room and she said that was fine I have just noticed however that the hotel charged us €20 on our bill for these towels I am really annoyed and feel that this is wrong

Disappointed the courtesy bus in to Old Albufeira only went twice a day (has been four or five previously), may have been almost the end of the season but there was still a desire to go in to town.
It was our fifth time staying at the hotel and we always have a deluxe pool view room and over the years these have been tastefully redecorated. An almost 'adult' style hotel and the staff are great, particularly in the mermaid bar and the piano bar!! The housekeeping staff do a great job.

Fresh fruit served with the cocktails would have been better than the commercial syrup..but staff were under pressure so I guess hadn't time..I found the constant taxis tiring and expensive to get anywhere as I cannot walk far with osteoarthritis and mobility issues. No buses in Albufeira?
Lovely breakfast..amazing pool and just adored lying in the hammocks placed around the relaxing gardens beside the fabulous pool. Rooms were spacious and spotless with incredible view of the sea and all so relaxing. Staff very friendly and helpful with excellent English..as I have no Portuguese so that was important. The most beautiful colourful foyer with a view of the sea ..cool furniture and a wonderful respite from the heat outside in the piano bar..charming waiter also..a truly 4star hotel!
