Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaThe only downside is that depending on what time you showered, there was little to no hot water.
Huge room—very comfy and true to the pictures. There was a really convenient self-service locker room to put our luggage in until checkin which was great since Sintra doesn’t have a ton of left luggage facilities. Although it’s technically an unstaffed location, there were friendly staff in the office who helped us get checked in.

SwitzerlandThe parking options are limited, but they send me a guide where we could park. Still we had to walk for 10 minutes up to get to the apartment
The apartment was in a good location, where you could to all the monuments pretty easy and fast. There were also a lot of different restaurants close by. The check-in was easy and you could store your bags at the hotel. The apartment where big and clean.

Compact but comfortable room. Quiet location but close to town centre. Information provided before hand was detailed and clear and check in easy. Very handy to have the luggage lockers available too.

GermanyCommunication - The driving instructions to drop off bags were impossible to follow so we had to park and walk with them. The parking suggestion was very unhelpful as we could only park for 4 hours at a time before needing to return to pay again. Directions to the more convenient, longer term parking would have been much more useful.
Great location, spacious apartment, port and cakes in the common area was a nice touch

United States of AmericaLittle hard to find at first because our Bolt driver couldn't drop us off at the exact address. It is better to go straight to Sintra National Palace. It is only a few minutes' walk from there.
It was a very cute apartment. ( I believe we had the largest one there) It was perfect for our family of 4.

NetherlandsBe aware that Sintra is lying on very steep hills. Parking possibilities in the street are limited, but it was low season so i was able to park very near the hotel.
Its a nice and comfortable room with a convenient kitchenette on two minutes walk from the city centre. The bed was huge!

PolandOnly two capsules of coffee for three days. It would be great to have more dishes and utensils in the kitchen - for example, there wasn't any pot, but remote staff tried to help us with that.
Very cosy and clean apartment with a beautiful view (we were at number 6). A big plus for a huge, comfortable bed. We were in town quite early, so the great advantage was the possibility of using luggage storage and the common bathroom in the building. Self check-in and entering the apartment with a code is very convenient, because you don't have to worry about loosing your key. Have in mind, that right now there is a renovation of nearby building, so you can hear some noises during the day. Remote staff was responsive and helpful.

LatviaWe liked the room and Sintra, enough to extend our stay for a few days. This proved to cause quite a few issues. Firstly, the cleaners almost walked in on my girlfriend coming out of the shower. Secondly, the code for our apartment door was changed without notification two days in a row - causing a tired conversation with customer support each evening. They were very helpful and sorted it out quickly each time, but the situation was not appreciated at all.
The bed and bedding were fantastic! The room feels very large and special, with a view up the mountainside and of the castles. Considering the humid surroundings, it was very pleasant that the space was dry and cosy. The location is amazing, right in the historical Sintra. We made a special request for some wine and received a great bottle of port wine in our room, which made it feel even more special.

BelgiumIt would have been a lot better with a proper wardrobe instead of the small drawers. We also think the shower area would be better with stained glass instead of the makeshift curtain. We did not ask for regular cleaning of our room, but it was not clear whether this facility was in offer. We would have liked fresh towels once in a couple of days. Otherwise, pretty nice stay.
We got an entire loft apartment including a small kitchenette and dining area. It was quite spacious for us. The check in experience was really smooth with everything automated. The property was really clean and the location is superb -- almost at the heart of Sintra but still in a back alley to be quiet. We loved the kind gesture of the hostess, who offered us a bottle of local Colares wine. It was really nice. Thank you.
