Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

IrelandWe stayed in the Poolhouse for a week and had a lovely time.Carlos was an excellent host who ensured that our stay was comfortable and stressfree. The pool area was fantastic, and the children loved hanging out with the 2 gorgeous golden retrievers. The area is quiet but only 10 minutes by uber to the very lively Cascais. Lisbon is very accessible from here by uber or by train. The train station is about 15 minutes away by foot.The beach is approximately 15 minutes walk with some beachfront restaurants. There are small grocery shops and some lovely bakeries about 5 minutes walk away.

United KingdomNothing at all.
The privacy and quietness of the villa, the facilities and the host's desire to help, advise on places to eat and visit, cleanliness. Nothing was too much for Carlos who was on hand always to help if needed and advise on the best places to eat. A thoroughly relaxing stay in a quite, private and lovely small villa. The pool was wonderful to take a dip from the heat of the day surrounded by outdoor tables, chairs and loungers to relax and a very well stocked wine cellar on hand if needed with the expert wine knowledge of Carlos. Already on our list for another visit. A hidden gem!

ChinaCarlos is the best landlord, friendly and talkative, knowledgeable, excellent taste, excellent wine. The cabin is very comfortable and well equipped. It is very suitable for family road travel, and it is not far from the supermarket and laundromat. We all love Chica and Billy. They are really cute. If you are traveling with children, this is definitely the best choice. I look forward to staying here next time.

The best place to spend a couple of days enjoying nature and walking around the area. Carlos, thank you a lot for a great days in your place. And super thanks for helping us with finding a new place for an extra couple of days (our flight home was canceled that day 😞). You’re a great person and an amazing host! The dogs are… adorable! I’m totally in love 🥰! Hope to see you again one day!

Delightful accommodation, exceptionally clean and comfortable with the use of a lovely pool, which was an added bonus. Lovely quiet area and helpful, friendly host. Excellent wifi and good communication via WA. Lovely beach, promenade and restaurants nearby.

Carlos is a great host and very welcoming to this excellently located property for exploring the Cascais area. Great transport options locally and we got to do so much in a week. Definitely will go back again to explore more. Property is walking distance of transport links to Lisbon central and to allow you explore lots, from beautiful sandy beaches to ancient ruins. Property had everything you could need was very well presented and maintained, and Carlos was very welcoming with his friendly golden retrievers . Thanks again Carlos

BelgiumThe house was a bit dark and humid. The fact that there is no breakfast.
The property is super clean and comfortable. It's an independent pool house, with access to the garden and swimming pool. There are two very sweet dogs in the property, but you won't meet them if you don't want to. Carlos is a very nice host. He was a wine producer, so he gives good advices and many bottles are at your disposal at a very reasonable price. The area is well served in terms of services and nice restaurants. You can take the train from a Lisbon and walk a bit to the property, but we used the car. The beach is at 5/10 min walk.

BelgiumWe had a fantastic stay. Carlos is a superb host that receives and treats you as friends. We felt right at home with him and the dogs. The guesthouse had everything we needed. Had the privacy we always search with the own entrance. We sat outside every evening enjoying our dinner. Together with a lovely wine recommended and made by the host. You have your choice of wines right out your wall in the house. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet, something we really appreciated after long days in Lisbon and Sintra. Which are very convenient less than half hour drive away. Happy to stay again if we are ever again around Lisbon.

No instructions and password to the internet The room was very cold at night. the room was not clean (the garbage in the bathroom from the previous guest was still there) The shower was vey very small. we try to speak with him in the morning ( before we left the room) - no answer to his doorbell and no answer to our knoks on his door (although he told us when we checked in that he is available for 24 hours) We order 3 nights, we abandoned after 1 night with no sleep (to a hotel nearby), sent an email to Carlos, never contacted by him (we got a standard email after we left , with the instructions to the internet and his hope that we enjoyed our stay ). We were charged for 3 nights.
