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.).

GermanyOur stay was absolutely amazing. The entire place is built up so beautiful and with love. The rooms are amazing and clean. The common space are super cozy and are very inviting to rest. The staff was amazing and the food and breakfast in the restaurant too. The pool area also looked super nice even if we didn´t use it at it was a bit too cold to swim in November :) You can do nice hikes starting from the Country house. We just really enjoyed our stay!

We drove in and it felt like oasis. Truly very relaxing place. Beautiful property. But what really struck me was was the love for dogs. We travel with 14 year old furry boy and we could not be more welcome. He was treated like human guest. walking around freely and enjoying the whole property with us. He made 2 amazing friends that are at the property. They followed Bentley all the way to our room. It was truly warmest welcome we ever received from all employees even from those 2 furry ones. Thank you. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO STAY AT THIS PLACE, STAY FOR LONGER THAN 2 NIGHTS!!!!!!!! you will drive out with sooo much positiveness.

PortugalThe air conditioning wasn’t working in our room, therefore sleeping with such a heat (30 degrees) was quite uncomfortable.
We liked the quiet and relaxed ambience, the silence, the nature and the swimming pool. The staff was always attentive and friendly.

South AfricaWe found the room for a family of 3 was a bit small for a 4 night stay. The evening compulsory 4 course dinner was not what we wanted, we would have prefered to order a lighter tapas style meal for the evenings...this forced us to go out in the evenings and we would have prefered to stay at the venue.
Peaceful setting, rustic amd authentic. Really appreciated the creation of such a wondefrul place.

The staff, the location, the grounds, the common spaces, the roses, the dogs and the most exceptional food!!!! Best we have had in Portugal after having travelled for over 3 weeks.

United Kingdomsome additional breakfast options would be good - mostly continental options which you don't always want. Would also be good to have A'la Carte evening menu as was only set menu available so if you don't like the menu you have to go out. The dirt road could do with with tarmac.
The staff were amazing and always ready to help - when we checked in they couldn't do enough to ensure we were happy with our accommodation and knew where everything was. We were given a full tour of the facilities. We booked dinner with them last minute for 5 people and the chef came to chat with us about what he was able to do for us on short notice and the food was fabulous. All in all a great stay which we really enjoyed. Breakfast eggs were cooked to order with good quality coffee - next time we need to visit it when it is warmer so we can enjoy the pool.

DenmarkWe have nothing negative to say about Herdade da Matinha Country House & Restaurant.
Ultimate place for a romantic get-away. Nothing here seems to random. Every pillow and throw is selected with care and an eye for taste and detail. It calm and close to nature with all the comforts of modern living. The art on the walls are beautiful, the ranchy feel of the place is welcoming and the food is AMAZING! We are definitly returning. The bar and porch area will be your hang-out every night and the surrounding areas are well worth exploring. Loved it!
