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...).

United States of AmericaWe arrived precisely at the check-in time of 16:00 when they said they would provide a building entrance code, as well as, a code for the lock box at the unit door which would have a key. I informed them we were at the building multiple times thru the messaging on Booking.com. I continued trying to message them to get the codes. Finally, I had to call them. I didn’t have an international cell phone plan so the phone call ended up costing me $10.00. I got a hold of someone and they finally provided the codes to me. We were outside the unit for over 1/2 hour waiting for some kind of communication. Over a 1/2 hour after the published checkin time, we received the codes. I’d hate to think if it had been raining. Not very good communication on the host’s part.
The property itself was fantastic. Great location and a lovely view. The kitchen and furnishings were nice. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had everything I needed..

United States of AmericaYou are paying a premium for this property's location, but the apartment itself is very basic. Everything in the apartment from the couch to the bathroom to the linens seem like they have seen better days. Everything was clean, but it was all quite worn out and not fresh.
The location of this property truly can't be beat! It is probably as close to the river as you can get, and the view from the balconies is stunning. That was absolutely our favorite part of this stay. It is also very central with a ton of restaurants, shops, and sites within a five minute walk. I would say the location makes up for any amenities that the property lacks.

United KingdomI would have preferred to have access to a shower mat as the shower tray was slippery. The toilet flush needs to be fixed as one has to hold down the plate. I tried to call and one is asked if one prefers English but then it doesn’t switch over to English.
Location was perfect and accessible, it was clean and had everything one needs for a comfortable stay.

United States of AmericaWe had a bit of a hard time finding the building the apartment was in but did finally find it. Taxi couldn't take us right to the building so had to carry suitcases and bags down some very uneven surfaces to get to the apartment. The apartment is very basic. Could be decorated to be more homey with simple things like throw rugs and pictures on the walls. Also no toiletries provided except one bottle of body wash that also had to be used for hand soap as there was none. Only 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels provided and 2 very small rolls of toilet paper for 4 day stay. We had to go buy more. These are very minor issues that could be easily fixed.
It was very easy to find keys and gain access into the apartment. Location of the apartment was perfect. Right on the river, beautiful view, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. It was very clean and had the basics. The balcony was gorgeous with doors opening straight out over the river. Very nice big screen TV with lots of channels. Internet worked well.

NorwayThis is a regular rental apartment and felt a little sterile. More like a hotel room than an apartment, but overall very adequate.
Prime location very close to the river. Extra bonus that the apartment is on the margin of the old town, in a quiet location. Also, the restaurant just outside the entrance is great - perhaps one of the best in Porto!

United Arab Emiratesas I mentioned before, we’re staying as a family, so the couch is extremely uncomfortable, they forgot the bed sheets and pillows, and all other supplies were prepared for 2 people, but we payed for a stay for 4. it’s quite complicated to get the access at the beginning, we did only after third try by calling on their hotline. in general it’s nice and probably will be ok for a couple , but not if you are staying as a family.
amazing panoramic view, entrance from the Main Street with a plenty of bars and restaurants. not loud during the night.

United KingdomAlthough the hosts were very promptly responsive to requests, it was disappointing to find such things as only one wine glass and many pieces of kitchenware with chips in an apartment of generally high standard. Feel that at this level and price, these items should be checked and replaced on changeover day.
Amazing location and views. Very bright and airy apartment, lots of storage space. And provision of umbrellas was a bonus during our stay!

BrazilThe description wasn’t clear - I thought I was getting a room with a view of the river, but it turned out lateral view of the river meant you had to lean out of the window. It is also impossible to get close to the property in a car (e.g. taxi) so it is NOT for anyone with a lot of luggage. The back bedroom was dingy and dark. A bit disappointing to be honest, especially given the high cost.
Very good fittings and condition.
