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):
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.
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.).

PortugalDinner rates were too expensive for the overall service. Should be more accessible and offer 1 more daily option. Toaster in breakfast room takes ages to do something, one customer will use it while others won't stand a chance to get to use it. Swimming pool not adequate for children, adolescents or any person not able to swim properly. 1st step is ankle deep, next one goes straight to 1,50mt and next to 3,20mt in the larger circle area. Seagull boats could use a refreshing, they squeak too much and hardly move even without current. They could be so much more fun. No supermarkets anywhere near, only in Ferreira do Zêzere, meaning you need to go up the valley for 8km's through blind curbs and do your thing there. It is what it is, no ones fault. Noise insulation is weak, could clearly hear the roars and dialogue from national geographic couple on the next room and it was not the tv channel. ;) would be very acqward and unpleasant if staying with older family or younger kids. Question as usual is, how and who to react to something like that?
Location is the big selling point, the surrounding is wonderful and location allows you to visit many places relatively near the hotel. Staff in polite and nice to deal with. The dinner was wonderful, high grade grilled beef and a small courtesy from the house gives a pleasant impression to the paying customer. Still on the food departament, breakfast was good with diversed offering ranging from fresh fruit to scrambled eggs and bacon. Bathroom had a bath tub, such a treat when most places now only offer you a shower.

IsraelThe rooms are a little old, but well maintained. Do notice that the drive to the nearest village is about 15 minutes, so you have to be prepared with food etc.

PortugalThe restaurant, fro the facilities, could be better... better menu, better quality. The nearest restaurant is 15 minutes away with a complicated road.
The location is stunning, near the lake. Very good to rest and for water sports. The pool is cosy and quiet.

NetherlandsThis relates to most places with more than one room on multiple floors, which would be the soundproofing. Nevertheless, it was not disturbing at all.
A beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Dinner and breakfast were certainly value for money. Stuff were friendly and helpful. View from the room magnificent!

PortugalIt needs a bit of renovations, the proper cleaning carpets for example. And the pool needs extra step… At the breakfast constantly needed to ask staff to add food to the bufê
Very beautiful location with plenty to do around. Very cozy hotel. Needed extra bed for our 15 year old and it was for free in a seperate place by the entrance which gave as more space to move arround. Great game room(all for free at the basement- snooker, pimpong…) Very nice breakfast. The bar area is so nice with lots of sofas to read or to have a drink with beautiful view arround.
