Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United KingdomThe room is a little dark but is a good size and you don't need to spend much time in it anyway.
The room was very clean and has everything you need. The roof terrace was the best part - comfortable seating and with a beautiful view of the sea. Beach towels, drying rack and shopping trolleys were a nice touch. The staff were really wonderful, especially when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the room. They responded to my message very promptly and found a quick solution.

BelgiumThe bed was kind of hard. Because we were on the ground floor on the street side, it was a bit noisy during the evenings and nights.
We loved the roof terrace and the location was very central.

IrelandGreat location, many restaurants and a big supermarket on your doorstep. Ferry to islands only a few minute walk away. We stayed in penthouse suite which had two big terraces. Check in and check out was simple. Property owners responded quickly to any questions. Property was quiet , no noise from neighbours.

IrelandVery very little not to like, as everything was exceptional.....If I were to have one minute comment, it would be the bar of soap kept in the bathroom....for hygiene purposes the provided liquid soap I feel is sufficient?
The apartment was spotlessly clean, lots of useful items present to accommodate your stay. The rooftop area is very well kept and offered solace when needed.

FranceThe property is very clean. The studio I had was very well furnished and had everything I need for my stay. The property is also dog friendly. The owner is very friendly and answers quickly. The best part was the rooftop terrace. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Olhao. Also the property is centrally located and walking distances from restaurants, the market and the boats that take you to the beaches.

United KingdomAir-conditioning in bedroom was poor. Far too hot during the night. Reported to owner who was arranging an Engineer, but sadly not during our stay. Owner provided a plug in air con machine, but sadly that didnt make any difference. Wifi weak, sometimes it would work then next minute it would drop out and be very slow. Mattress firm.
Location, ease of a access through lockbox. Stayed at several other properties in Olhao over the years and the location of Sol & Ria is ideal. Liked having front and back private balconies.

SpainMaybe a coat hanger would be handy or somewhere to put an open suitcase so you don’t put it in the bed, etc these are just suggestions because we managed fine without them.
Apartment was cute and clean, comfy couch and bed. Coffee capsules, salt, pepper and olive oil provided was VERY much appreciated! Very very close to lots restaurants and to the main market.

United KingdomOnly 2 sun beds on terrace to service 7 apartments, could do with more and there is plenty of room. We were there for 11 days and no fresh towels were provided but then again I didn’t ask. I’m sure the lovely staff would have obliged.
Beautiful one bedroom apartment with all you need in it. Comfortable and spacious. Stunning rooftop terrace overlooking the market and bay. Very central to restaurants, bars and the pingo doce for your supplies if you want them and the wine!

JerseyLoved the two balconies with our apartment (apt I) and the shared top floor terrace. Perfect for a sundowner! The apartments have been finished to a good standard and have a modern feel. Our bed was very comfortable. The apartments are very close to the markets and the many restaurants along the main avenue. My wife felt that there could have been more storage space for personal effects. Unloading / loading luggage involved a short walk from the paid parking area on the main avenue along the seafront, as the narrow road to the apartments is often congested with parked cars. Overall, a lovely apartment and if we return to Olhão we'd be very happy to stay here again.
