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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesThe kitchen was well-equipped with cookware, glasses etc but would have been nice if they provided some basic essentials like paper towels, spices, sugar, cooking oil, etc. The 4 coffee pods were nice for the first day but if staying longer you’ll need to restock.
Very spacious two bedroom unit, several decks, balconies and patios, all with great ocean views. Very bright, airy layout with lots of windows. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy walk downhill to the village and they provide a golf cart on demand to bring you back up to the unit - very nice touch! The combo washer/dryer in the kitchen was a nice amenity. The entire village of Salema Beach is an easy walk.

CanadaThe property is a bit away from the beach. It is only about a 20 mile Ute walk and there is a shuttle but if you want to be beachfront this is not the place for you.
Huge houses for a very reasonable price. Excellent staff and facilities.

United StatesOverall this property on a scale of 1 - 10 is an 11. I didn't like that check in time is 6 pm or later. They say the room might be ready earlier...... but standard check in is 6 pm. You would think with a late check in time that the check out time would be later.....It's not. Check out time is 11 am. That seemed a little weird to me. It's a minor thing..... If your looking for a quiet getaway after Lisbon then this is your place.
The property is amazing. We had a big townhouse with 2 patio areas. Upper patio had a beautiful view of the ocean. The units were very well equipped with everything you would need to have an extended stay. The pool area was nice and it had a bar / restaurant next to it so you could enjoy wine or beer out by the pool. The property provided shuttle service down to the town and beach although we always walked. The property is definitely higher end and was quiet after hours. Every restaurant we ate at in the area was amazing. For a sleepy little fishing village they had some amazing restaurants. We ate at an all you can eat sushi place and also at an Indian restaurant in town and they were both Excellent.

CyprusThe balcony could have been cleaner. - Not a lot of kitchen towels and no children tableware at all.
The house was really spacious and we had an amazing sea view. The housekeeping came every day which we really appreciated and the shuttle service to the beach was a very big plus for us. Great location for a relaxing family vacation. Restaurants and mini supermarkets in walking distance :)

United StatesSteep! Walking the hill is a work out! Walking through units to pool was also a LOT of stairs. Could use a HOT pool or hot tub in one of the 3 pools--Would've been nice.
Salema is very steep and these villas are at the top of the hill. View was great, staff we're helpful and always available. Bonus shuttle to village, dinner, etc.

United StatesWe had to google instructions on how to use the stovetop which was induction. There were brochures on every other appliance but not the stovetop! However, we figured it out and it worked very well.
We were here off season and we appreciated the quiet, peaceful location with a lovely view. Parking was close by which we appreciated. The facility was very clean and comfortable.

CanadaThe property was fantastic, the townhouse was very modern, clean and the beds were comfortable. It had all the amenities and would be great for an even longer-term stay. The rooftop terrasse had a wonderful view. Access to transfers down to the beach was incredibly appreciated. The pool area and pool/snack bar was loads of fun. The location is wonderful, and the staff were super helpful.

CanadaWe did not have a dryer in our condo. It was advertised to have both washer and dryer. Our unit had a washing machine only. They did offer to move us, but we opted to stay for the view we had. Hung our clothes to dry.
We had a 2 bedroom condo with an amazing view of the water. The condo was clean, beds were comfortable. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. It was a short walk down a very steep hill to shops and restaurants and the beach. The walk back up is very difficult, but there is a shuttle service if need be.

SlovakiaThe hill from the beach/village is quite steep, a complimentary shuttle service is offered by the hotel There could be more plates and glasses in the kitchen - only set of 5 or 6 pieces, so you have to dish wash after each meal. Only 2 dish washing tablets were available to us, more have to be purchased at the reception - could be complimentary with regard to the price per night..
Extremely friendly and professional staff at the reception The vila is specious and bright 8-10 min walk to a lovely beach and a village center with restaurants and cafes, a small grocery store just around the corner. Salema is a nice place to stay to explore the South of PT or just stay in one spot.

United KingdomSome of the design of the house was weird like toilet roll holder on the back wall hard to reach and the sink wall gets in the way of your feet but that is nit picking. Pool was great but very cold. Hard to swim in so didn't stay in for long. Indoor pool would be good
Customer service was excellent and very helpful and friendly staff. Accommodation was excellent and sea view with upside down house. Clean and close to the beach. Buggy service was great 3 minutes to the beach
