Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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...).

United States of AmericaStrong mildew smell throughout. There are multiple levels in this home with steep stairs, not suitable for kids or elderly. Kitchen cabinets falling apart, and room was dark at night. Parking instructions not clear, you need to park outside of the city and carry everything in. Not close to any grocery stores.
The two terraces and the garden were amazing. All of the antiques, the furniture, and the stone walls made the experience feel authentic. Nice to have a both a washer and a dryer. Despite its flaws, would stay here again for the medieval experience and spaciousness.

United States of AmericaCommunication could have been better with the host if he would have provided his cell number from the beginning.
So blessed we found this place. We felt like we went back in time. The back walls of the house were carved into the rock. The house was huge, so many rooms. Surrounded by antiques and beautiful furnishings. Royalty once lived here. Two large out door spaces, one was a well manicured garden with amazing views and one was a large terrace also with amazing views. The place was a wonderful experience.

AustraliaWhen we arrived after check in time there was two ladies in the kitchen, which we found strange. One was the cleaner but they didn't seem in a hurry to leave even though we had arrived. She stayed on the phone atleast 15min after we had arrived. The kitchen and other parts needs updating and cleaning cupboards etc. Plus dont leave food out anywhere cause there is alot of ants and moths.
Location was great, right in the centre of Obidos a few steps from the castle. House is very unique, with a beautiful terrace/garden overlooking the village.. We left a bag behind and the owner gratefully left it for us at a station nearby (thanks again!)

United States of AmericaFinding simple groceries to have on hand is difficult within the walled city so plan ahead.
This is a very unique home that is full of artworks/relics with absolutely beautiful outdoor space(s). We felt like we were in the home of the most noble of the court inside the walled city, close to the palace--it felt medieval, yet with many of the modern conveniences. The size of the property is huge and easily accommodated our extended family. The home is situated within the stone wall of the walled city so we were grateful to open all of the doors/windows for a lovely cross breeze. The view and the experience was amazing and felt authentic and unique. (note: 2 of our party had stayed in the pousada (castle accommodation) before and this experience was far more unique. The host was very responsive and, although we never met, very attentive and kind.

The Stone House is incomparable. If you ever find yourself in Obidos I would highly recommend. It is a MUST stay. The outside spaces are fabulous. The back garden is heaven. Beds are comfortable, shower/bath with great pressure and long supply of hot water. Kitchen is well appointed with everything you need if you choose to cook. The living room and dining area are spectacular.

TaiwanIt is not the easiest house to live in. For people with mobility issues, beware that there are plenty of stairs inside the house. Since there is no parking, we needed to park at the main parking lot outside the main city gate (south) and haul all luggage across the old town. Although there is another gate and a pedestrian opening in the northern city wall closer to the house, unfortunately the gate was closed and the pedestrian opening leads to a unpaved trail in the woods, making transporting luggage not feasible. But we did manage at the end, and the house was absolutely worth the effort. I will definitely make the effort again and stay in this house once more when I return to Obidos next time.
This house is quirky, charming, and elegant. The uniqueness of its layout, decor and the beauty of its garden seem to be able to cast a spell on whoever walks into the door. It embodies Obidos. Sunrise in the garden and view of the wall tower from the tiny terrace atop the kitchen are not to be missed. There are 2.5 baths in the house; the additional toilet near the kitchen is very handy. Kitchen is well-equipped. Bedding is comfortable. Host is very responsive to all of our inquiries. We are particularly fond of the sketchbook in which guests are invited to draw their impression of their visit.

United States of AmericaNot a good way to get luggage in to the house. we ended up condensing into bags and leaving luggage in car. which meant if you forgot something it was a long haul. Also house smelled very musty, it’s built right into the stone, but once there we were able to open windows and air it out. It was warm and no A/C so a few fans would have been nice.
This was a one of a kind stay…right in the walls of the old city…very unique house.
