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...).

The menus in both restaurants were not varied and quite expensive.
The room was a great size. The breakfast had a great choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful.The location was in a nice, quiet spot. A short walk to the Marina and a bit longer to the centre of Cascais. Lots of choice there for restaurants.

The lighting in the bathroom needs to be improved. Great mood lighting but not practical. The Italian-themed specialty dining room was a joke, a total disappointment for the money. Please hire a chef.
Everything was top-notch and beyond expectations.

No cushions on the pool loungers. Would have liked a balcony, but it wasn't a requirement.
It was our seventh visit in 12 years and everything was either as expected or even better.. That is why we keep returning.

The breakfast was wonderful, however we seemed to have the "wrong" table. After being seated, we did not get asked what we wanted to drink with our breakfast, so after waiting 20 minutes we managed to ask someone. Then we ordered eggs, and they were forgotten. So waited a ong time, then had to ask again. The same happened with a second drink. All other tables seemed to be looked after very well.
The room was a great size, especially as we were travelling as 3 adults, myself, my mum and my adult son. The bathroom was also great as it had a seperate bath and shower, and seperate cubible for the toilet. The balcony was wonderful with an amazing view. The staff were all very friendly from the moment we arrived until we left.

Nothing to criticise here. But it will be good if they can find ecologically sound means of heating their outdoor pool in the winter season.
Spacious and VERY comfortable room with sea view terrace,everything you could wish for. Lovely hotel,great staff. Nice people. Excellent breakfasts, good terrace bar with food,and an Italian restaurant Belvedere of exceptional quality that should be marketed more widely to visitors to Cascais, not just hotel guests. Spa is a nice extra touch.

Carpet was a little old and stained in the room and the windows were dirty - the windows, however, were cleaned promptly when we requested. One other little quibble - the coffee was a little cold and tasteless at breakfast.
Brilliant location, very friendly and helpful staff. The parking of the car was a lovely touch, as was the port wine and edible treats that were delivered to our room. Beautiful interior of hotel and very wide range of choice for breakfast. Room was spacious, bed was very large and comfy, balcony was a great place to sit and watch the sun go down with a glass of wine.
