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.).

The apartment is very comfortable. The bed was big and comfortable. The apartment includes facilities for cooking, and we used it to prepare breakfast. The village is very near and you can buy fresh bread at 6:30. The owner filled out any request on the spot, and he is available all the time. In the apartment and in the garden that is surrounded by a green hedge, you have total privacy .

GermanyWe had a wonderful stay at Sítio da Assumada on Flores. The host, Ricardo Mendes, is super-friendly and gave us a very helpful overview of the best places to explore on Flores. The cabins have a wonderful, private garden with many beautiful flowers and plants that is nicely separated with a hedge from the other cabins. The highlight was to listen to the unique Scopoli's shearwater birds (Cagarro in Portuguese) at night.

United KingdomSome of the cooking equipment could be updated - just usual self catering stuff like sharpening knives, supplying a colander, etc but the kitchen itself was well great.
Ricardo was lovely, very helpful and always there for anything you want. The cabin was great - we didn't get the best weather so it was nice to have somewhere comfortable to retire to and to be able to throw open the big doors and enjoy the private garden from the lounge or patio.

United StatesThe owner, Ricardo waited and greeted us for our arrival. He gave us a great introduction of the whole island with Google Earth, it was super helpful. He then walked us to our own bungalow with a beautiful private gardens, yard and outdoor sitting area. The accommodation is very modern and well designed. It's very comfortable, clean and bright. One thing I like to mention is with the high humidity everywhere on the island, we didn't feel humid inside at all. The place is in the middle of extremely quiet and peaceful nature just outside the town of Faja Grande. But it is just a short walk to the town that has many good restaurants in the spectacular settings. In the middle of our stay a basket of clean towels was delivered to our door which we thought was really nice. With so much to see on the beautiful island, we also took time to enjoy sitting outside on the porch and checking out the different flowers in the yard and after dark we enjoyed hearing the lovely singing sound of the returned seabirds after a day of fishing out in the sea. This is definitely a great place to stay when in Flores. We definitely had a great time and left with very fond memories of the island and the place.

This property was perfect in every way. We stayed in a lovely casita with our own private glorious garden. The house was clean and comfortable. There is a small kitchen, a good sized living room and a large bedroom with nice double wardrobes. It is furnished with nice furniture, has good lighting and a big bathroom. The owner is very welcoming and friendly. He gave us valuable information about the island and places to eat. We enjoyed the location close to the coast in a quaint village. This is the perfect place for peaceful relaxation plus it is close to the beautiful waterfalls and a nice coastline.
