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.).

AustraliaA lovely, homey, renovated guesthouse with a lot of history and lots of steps. Good buffet breakfast, quiet, comfortable bed, and hot shower. Google Maps found it hard to locate, but once found, it was nice and central. In the old town of Evora, many things to explore but arriving and departing by foot from the bus and train station is difficult with luggage on the cobblestone streets (but doable) Thank you for my stay, I felt very at home, comfortable, welcome, and safe 😀

United KingdomIf you accept the hotel for what is, comfortably old-fashioned, there’s nothing to dislike.
The hotel has a fascinating, ancient history from 16th century, Évora’s first hotel in 1892 and a centre for spies during the revolutionary period in 1960s and 70s. Today it is comfortably old fashioned either delightful staff and great fire on winter’s cooler evenings.

PortugalSome smaller details need fixing, already transmitted to the owner, like a new juicer, the actual one is too noisy for such a beautiful breakfast room. Thank you for you sympathy and for being the guardians of this historic building.
The authenticity of the hotel and its team. The beautifully and well thought rehabilitation, preserving its soul and protecting what needs to be protected, but still assuring clients have all they need to feel comfortable and relaxed. A hotel for people who love History and Heritage and can enjoy silence and details. Breakfast was so good, with proper orange juice, never give up on real pressed oranges, and the diy is a very good idea, so guests can feel at home and ensure a zero waste policy. Decor filled with elements from the past, i had a great time and will surely return, for a longer stay. Thank you so much, keep up the good work!

United StatesThe walls are thin, so if someone is load down the hall, you will hear it. Otherwise, the place is great.
I really liked staying here, and have recommended it to others. The building is so historic and beautiful. there are many extra rooms to relax in including a fireplace room where they light a fire at night. Our room was comfortable and a nice location to visit all the interesting points of interest. We had heat at night and there is someone on duty all day and night. And breakfast in the huge dining room is wonderful-so much to choose from.

CanadaThe old windows did not keep out the church bell sounds, as beautiful as they are, when trying to sleep. But, changing those would change the appeal of the history.
The history of this building and the maintenance of it over the centuries is impressive.

GermanyVery nice old traditional building from the 15th century, beautifully prepared for a hotel. Very special, wonderful atmosphere. We loved the stay there. The main place is just a couple of minutes away. Good restaurant close by. The staff is very helpful. Parking right in front was possible. If you are not expecting modern luxury, but you like something original, this is the place to go!

PolandThe room was really tiny, and if someone really prefers comfort than historical experiences - better find another place. No lift, so the luggage must be carry on by the stair even for the reception (but what a staircase! Like from historical movie!). And the heating was strange: only few hours, so in January, the mornings were rather cold.
The hotel is in the old building and it is very stylish: old doors, furniture, atmosphere like from the real past. But it is comfortable. Especially high pressure o water under the shower! Divine! The real fire place in the lobby makes it even better. Great staff, very helpful. Breakfast in Portuguese style: just basic, without any vegetables, but it is the same in all hotels in Portugal that I was in. The location is in the very center of old town. For me - great.
