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...).

Great location, a short walk from the ocean front and with good restaurants nearby. Being a guest house the unit has a cozy and homely feel not often found in large hotels. Lovely mid century decor of the guest lounges. The room was spacious and airy, generous bathroom. Very nice continental breakfast, eggs were just right and fruit very fresh.

Getting in and out of the tub is difficult because the tub wall is high and there are no grab bars. You have to actually get in the tub to turn on the shower which is challenging too. You have a lovely sunny room for breakfast and then you offer the most bland assortment and presentation of breakfast options in a room that looks like a hospital cafeteria. You should take advantage of what you have to offer and make it more special. Everyday I would drink all the water from the pitcher in my room and everyday I would see if the housekeep would refresh the water. The housekeep didn’t refresh the water, didn’t clear away used dishes, and didn’t replace towels.
I liked the helpful staff on site to assist with travel or unexpected needs. The location with a sunny room and a balcony was very nice.

Nothing to report. All was great. We’d certainly stay here again!
This guesthouse met our needs perfectly. It was quiet, clean, and well located for visiting Cascais and Sintra. We walked along the boardwalk to Cascais, about 25 minutes, which was lovely at sunset.

For breakfast, I would prefer larger choice of cheese, wholegrain bread and unsweetened youghourt. I did not like one noisy night (guests arriving from a wedding at 3 a.m. and making noise for at least one hour). The towels were changed every day despite we did not want it.
Disposed staff, comfortable bed, fresh fruits for breakfast.

The bathroom basin had seen better days and looked like it was ready for an upgrade, and a couple of extra hooks or rails for the towels would have been useful.
The breakfast was adequate. Not a great deal of choice, but what was provided was good. The room was lovely, very comfortable bed and reasonably sized. But only one chair, although it was a double room.

I could hear noise from the hallway when people are taking staircase. Estoril is much quieter than Cascais, so your options for lunch or dinner is limited. But Cascais is not far, take a train or a short taxi ride to reach there. You can even walk along the seafront.
Room was clean and spacious with very comfy bed. Staff was very helpful. Quality of breakfast was really good

1.There was no extractor fan in the bathroom. It made the room very steamy and hard to blowdry my hair with all of the moisture in the air. 2. The hairdryer was not good quality; it had too much heat and not enough air/fan power. 3. Unable to use the air conditioning/ fan in the bedroom; this made it very uncomfortable on some of the nights. 4. Needed more hooks for damp towels/ robes.
The range of food at breakfast and how there were different choices of fruit, pastries and breads on different days. Having a pool to take a cool dip in the afternoon/ early evening, as some of the days were hot. Being able to have a glass of wine etc at the bar. The location and the building were lovely. Great to have help of staff with ordering taxis.
