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...).

AustraliaBed was not that comfortable and very noisy when you turned over
This beautiful property is located just above Viana do Castelo and you feel as though you are miles away from any town. The gardens are beautifully maintained and the staff so helpful. The cottages are well equipped, clean and quiet. You can easily access all the sights and town from this location.

United KingdomThe only thing I can suggest, is to have some kitchen foil in the kitchen. We cooked in the oven and I'd have liked to protect the oven itself from the spitting chicken.
We didn't expect the apartment to be so beautiful within wonderful gardens ... the swimming pool was perfect.

PortugalThe fixed lighting outside projects toward our unit and was very bright. However they did turnoff around midnight. This made it hard to enjoy the night sky before then.
Perfectly quite for its location near the city. Cozy fireplace for the cooler nights which set the ambience for a glass of wine...or two or three. The large covered patio w/table and loungers sheltered us on the rainy days. The plush and comfortable bed ensured us no shortage of sleep. The unit had all the necessary kitchen utensils for us prepare our own meals. Perfect for longer stays!!

Charm, history and distinct luxury from a huge domain with a multitude of birds, fruits and centuries old trees. The apartment was spacious, its decor and equipments refined and of high quality. The overflow type pool in the landscape park is absolutely stunning.

CanadaThat we didn’t get a good sleep due to the peacocks. Most people mustn’t self cater as there are no oven mitts or pot holders (makes it difficult to take something from the oven or microwave).
The apartment was lovely and so clean. If you get apartment 4 and plan to self cater it’s very dark in the kitchen area. The housekeeping staff do an excellent job! The bed is firm but comfortable. Lots of hot water 👍. The proprietors are very quick to answer any questions or concerns you have and do it very pleasantly. Be aware we are not super light sleepers but with the shutters closed and the windows closed we could not block out the sound of the peacocks.

The accommodation, the location, the distance from the town centre (access to many restaurants), closeness to some amazing beaches, close proximity to places of interest. The property is well hidden and away from the hustle and bustle of the town but close enough to be able to walk to restaurants. Beautiful infinity pool; fabulous gardens and amazing peacocks. The cleaning staff were so helpful even though they could not speak English!

SpainThe birds in cages. Their cages are too small and not very clean, we even saw one dead bird one day. Please rehome them to a sanctuary.
Comfortable stay in spacious apartment, ideal for 2 people. We stayed in apartment 5 which has a more private terrace and great views out to sea which we appreciated. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom had a bath which was also appreciated as many only have showers these days. The Quinta is set in beautiful grounds and the pool is lovely.
