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 AmericaThe room doesn't actually have a castle view, there probably used to be a view before the new theater was built. Now the castle can only be seen from the *shared* balcony. Even though the "castle view" room is the only one on the balcony level, all guests have access to that balcony; and this balcony is immediately outside the double glass doors for the room. The balcony furniture is not very comfortable to sit for very long, so I guess that can help to discourage other guests from spending too much time outside the room. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom was very cramped and it was difficult to get it to dehumidify; we left the bathroom door open with the fan running all day long to try to resolve this. The shower needed a more thorough cleaning, I noticed what appeared to be mold in the shower; probably due to the problems with humidity. Be sure to sign on for ALL the WiFi's from day 1!! When we checked in we were told a specific wifi to use and we were told the wifi was being worked on. The wifi was awful and we could barely get a signal in our room. After a couple of days I asked about the wifi again and was told to use the other wifi as it used the same password...would have appreciated being updated about this right away. Parking was ok, even though it was a couple hundred meters away. The lot was mostly full, but we were always able to get a spot during our stay in Feb. I could see this being a huge issue in the busy season with the lot easily filled to capacity all the time.
This property is in a great location for wandering around downtown Tavira. The shared kitchen was nice and everything seemed to be clean and well taken care of. The onsite staff were pleasant. The doors had well insulated, newer windows that helped to keep the outside noises to a minimum.

Great location 2 streets back from the river with a nice view of a quiet square. Lovely continental breakfast. A special mention to the Indian young man Gircharnjit who was learning how to do everything. He was very polite & working hard & did his best to make sure we were OK with everything, including offering ideas of where to visit.

United KingdomThe room was fairly small and the bathroom was down the hall and not integral to the room. There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room but we didn't find any breakfast anywhere on the property. We didn't see any staff during our stay. We were not sure whether the kitchen area that our bedroom was adjacent to was going to be used by other guests or whether the rooftop terrace which was accessible from the kitchen area was for our use or for others.
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The view over the square was nice. There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The location was central and pleasant. There was a peaceful and safe atmosphere in the square outside.

PortugalDid not understand this was a shared apartment (although it was a private room with a private bathroom outside the room), so we almost accidentally entered another guest's room (I think we gave them a scare). Maybe this misunderstanding was our fault, but this information could be clearer in the booking page.

A great location to the pier and downtown. The apartment is cozy and felt like home! Beautiful kitchen with nice appliances. The living room/ dining area was perfect. The bedroom was nicely decorated, and a nice selection of books to include travel guides. Lots of outdoor space to eat breakfast in the morning and cocktails at night! Our host was really accommodating and checked us in a bit early and gave us many tips for entertainment and getting around.

IrelandNo iron and the hairdryer needs replacing but those are minor. Everything else was perfect. I would stay again.
The bed is really comfy. We stayed during a rainy spell and attempted to watch Netflix on the tv one night but it does not work. The terrace is not private, it is shared but we were lucky to have the place to ourselves. The owner was very polite and the stay was cosy. Kitchen is well equipped but I have to recommend the Tapas place just a few doors up, 5stars. If you stay here you have alot of options around the river but the Tapas on the doorstep was the best!
