How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Very minor points from an otherwise brilliant stay: the pillows were rather lumpy & the orange juice at breakfast wasn’t nice at all.
Great sized family room, spotlessly clean, lovely staff. The breakfast was very nice with a good choice of food & kept topped up with fresh supplies. Tables were cleared quickly & staff were very attentive.

The apartment was great for our family of 6. It was much more spacious than we expected. It was super clean and the location was central. It was a short walk from the train station. The outside of the hotel does not do it justice. Don't let it fool you. Very good value here. I would highly recommend and stay here again.

- • Family with young children
- • Suite
- • Stayed 3 nights
We can't think of anything we didn't like, but note that we stayed in a Suite which is listed as having four beds. The configuration is different than in Canada as the four beds were what we would consider two (two twins joined together and one double sofa bed). Staff were very accommodating and offered to separate the beds.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to securely store our luggage at the hotel while waiting to check-in and staff at the front desk provided a map and recommendations for nearby shopping, transportation and cafes. The hotel is in a great location, only a few mins walk to Rua da Santa Cantarina;10 mins to Porto University and Lello Bookstore and 20 mins to the Ribeirra district. The rooms are clean and modern and we enjoyed the free breakfast which included both hot and cold items plus tea/coffee/juice.

This is a great hotel. The location is perfect. It's a 4 minute walk from Bolhao Market, and quite close to other tourist attractions. It is also close to public transport and shops, bars etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.

The pictures does not represent well the hotel honestly, i repeat everything was good but the perception was not like what we were expecting looking at the pictures. Also the view from my room is a street which is sometime noisy during the night. Everything acceptable anyway
We had an amazing staying at Hotel Spot and everything was good, the breakfast very well furbished and also the rooms were very clean. Right in the center of Porto, in a few minutes you're in midtown, near a metro station, near the bolhao market.
