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...).

IrelandThis is such a beautiful place and setting, the rooms were so lovely and comfortable. There were also beautiful spaces to relax in the evening, both in and outside. A warm, friendly welcome and truly delicious breakfast! Thanks so much, wish we could have stayed longer.

United States of AmericaThe owners were incredibly warm, welcome and accommodating. We met other travelers, mostly”walkers”, who we enjoyed getting to know in the large, comfortable common area. Breakfast was delicious, beautiful grounds and just a few k’s outside the village. Highly recommend!

GermanyExceptional breakfast and very lovely people who take a lot of time to give recommendations and put a lot of attention on details. The stable apartments are very cozy, including extra blankets and a little electric heater (our stay was in March). The pool area looked like it’d be fun to use during the warmer months. Overall, we loved our stay here and would wholeheartedly recommend this place to any of our friends and family. Thank you!

The location was great and very homely and welcoming, you were welcomed so friendly and relaxed I wished we could have stayed longer. I loved the details in the rooms and the honesty bar. We are for sure coming back.

CanadaThis was a little off the beaten path for a hiker, but I recommend it to folks on the fisherman's trail if you feel up for the extra 2km. This was where I ended my hike and it was truly perfect!
This was my favourite place I've stayed. Everything was perfect - the room, the staff, the pool, and the handmade soaps in the washroom. I feel lucky to have stayed here and hope to again in the future! Sunrise from the ranch was a highlight for me.

United KingdomThe only annoyance is it's not a bit closer to Zambujeira do Mar. I walked to the hotel, and again in the evening walked into the town and back. On a map it looks close enough and I'm a fast walker, but even for me it is at least 15 minutes each way and in places without pavement, walking in the road which in darkness is a bit more challenging. The hotel offers bicycles and locks so there is an easy solution but still it's nice to walk to places where you can!
An amazing find, located outside the beautiful Zambujeira do Mar - it's like staying in a private country residence in a remote part of Alentejo. An authentic historic building and grounds, with rooms that remind me of travelling in Spain using Paradors (luxury converted castles). The room felt like a castle or church, opening into a shared courtyard with a well stocked honesty bar, and further away over the grass lawns a very separate large pool and sunbathing area (pool is regularly cleaned and large enough to be fun). There is a beautiful and eclectic lounge to relax indoors also, listen to music or take breakfast. The property is run by a lovely family with everyone contributing and helping out, and a family experience when leaving. The room was spotlessly cleaned when I arrived and even though it has an antique feel it was not dirty. The best two things - the homemade soap from one of the family member was really nice, and best of all was the bed. Wow. About 1 metre wider than King Size, huge, inviting and so comfortable. I prefer a slightly harder mattress and while it might feel a bit tough to some people at first, after walking 24km on Fishermans Walk, the best thing is support for your muscles not softness, in order to transfer stresses from your body. I had the best nights sleep in a week hiking down the coast and didn't want to get out of bed!

PortugalIt is just personal, our mattress was very hard. We both get back ache and prefer something a little softer.
We stayed at Monte do Papa Leguas to attend the Meo SudOeste music festival. It was very close and a perfect location for us. The host who looked after us was so helpful. Breakfast was very nice.

It is located outside the city center, but it was not much of the problem: we could use hotels bikes to get to the city center and in the morning one of the hosts brought us to the beginning of our trail in the morning.
