Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Problems with my friend's booking on Booking.com that the hotel didn't resolve. No cleaning was done the day before departure, nor was the trash taken out.
The Calema Hotel has been my accommodation in the Algarve for a few years. I always go with friends, but this year we were disappointed. My friend had a problem with her booking on the Booking website, right before her departure date. She tried to resolve it with both Booking and the hotel, but they shifted responsibilities onto each other, and the hotel canceled the reservation. It was very unpleasant; my son was left without a friend to play with, and our vacation was even more miserable.

The bed setees were very uncomfortable to sit on and we used the plastic chairs from the balcony, I could not see anyone sleeping on them. Very noisy some nights with lots of banging and scraping of chairs from above and next rooms. There appeared to be no sound proofing. The bar seemed to close at strange times, to the extent we gave up going and just went locally for a drink.
Superb location, room clean and very large with regular cleanings, towel and bed linen changes. Plenty of crockery and pans to cook for yourself and a very good fridge. Lots of hot water day and night, and an efficient air conditioning unit in the main living room. The beds in the 2 rooms were firm but cumfortable.

There is not enough hot water available to have a shower, especially if you want to wash your hair. It's actually unacceptable, so good luck getting 2 people showered before having to wait 15 minutes for it to reheat. The baths are full of paint, which flakes away as water touches it, and they only give you 1 sink plug to discourage you from bathing also. It's really noisy if you are placed on the side of the hotel where the gym and pool table are, until antisocial hours. It's cheap and not particularly cheerful.
The housekeeping team did a great job. The kitchen was sufficiently equipt.

The aparthotel is simple and who can tell is a bit old already, neverthless is still good value for money option in Monte Gordo and would revommend this option. Would suggest to have more comfortable beds and to improve the showers.
Nice cosy hotel with easy walking distance to restaurants, cafe's and the beach. The aparthotel is simple, but has everything to stay a couple of nights or even a week. There s a pool in the premises as well.

The room and furniture were very dated, the kitchen was Ok for producing breakfast but not a lot else. We booked for 4 adults and a teenager. There was no way we could all stay in the rooms provided as very cramped and the sofa beds very uncomfortable, so 2 adults got other accommodation outwith the hotel as there were no other rooms available and as a result we lost money on the stay. We also killed 5 cockroaches during our stay. This was reported to the hotel on day one, but nothing appeared to be done about it. They offered to move us, however, we declined as the room was in the perfect position for us. They also offered to get us a spray which never appeared
The hotel was close to everything and the staff were friendly and spoke great English. The rooms, although very small and outdated, were cleaned to a high standard every day with clean and fresh towels supplied. The bedding was clean and changed regularly. The bar served a small selection of drinks but was competitively priced. The reception was clean and inviting with a large screen TV and comfortable seating.
