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 AmericaCan't think of a thing I did not enjoy!
Was my favorite accommodation of the 3weeks in Portugal and 1week in Spain. Challet Fonte Nova was 5star, like a little piece of paradise. The grounds are rather large, private, and lush. It was peaceful, I enjoyed listening to the birds in the mornings, and I enjoyed the balcony overlooking and listening to the fountain often as well. It was the only accommodation during the month that offered wash cloths and a bath mat, which I loved. (Portugal has very slippery showers - take heed.) Challet excels in providing a pampering experience from linens to atmosphere. The staff was pleasant and the man who coordinates breakfasts went above and beyond by making a special trip to the store to buy oatmeal for my friend, ...and made it for the first time in his life, JUST for her! Unbelievable! Parking (smaller car is best) is onsite and there's an elevator. Walking into the heart of Alcobaca was easy (easy for Portugal), and driving to the other sites on the Silver Coast was easy from Alcobaca. If I return to Portugal, Challet Fonte Nova will be the first accommodation I try to book.

Also a great centralized home base for 2 days of exploration in Tomar, Nazare, Obidos, Fatima - all spots easily reached from the Challet. Fantastic, friendly staff. High quality breakfast and service. Easy check-in and out. Parking available onsite.

PortugalIf I was to make one small comment, my guest room was a little dark and appreciate more direct sunlight from outside.
This beautiful boutique hotel has old world charm , set in beautiful manicured gardens. A peaceful oasis on the edge of the city. A great location for exploring everything on foot. Maria, the owner, was super welcoming and a kind and gracious host. The choice of bed linen and blankets were unusual, extremely comfortable and stylish. The breakfast was served beautifully, incorporating delicious regional cheeses, exotic fruit.and freshly made juice. The staff were extremely accommodating, polite and helpful. I will definitely return in the not too distant future.

This challet is a hidden gem of Alcobaça and Portugal in general. Only 15-20 min from the famous Nazare beaches, and in a very quiet, cute town. The staff was very much welcoming, and the place met our expectations: it is exactly like in photos. It has an antique build with very modern upgrade, and only 2 minutes by foot from the town centre, which has a lot of restaurants and cafes for lunch and dinner. Breakfast served at the challet was delicious with variety of baked goods, fruits, chees & ham platters, etc. I will definitely come back at some point! Thanks Pedro & Maria for the amazing stay <3
