How guest reviews work
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...).

Verified reviewThe location within the compound of the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte is spectacular. The view of the sunset and basilica from our room was as good as it gets. The room itself was modern, comfortable and immaculately clean with a stylish bathroom. We particularly enjoyed the pool and sauna in the spa area, the hotel staff were great, parking was easy and the buffet breakfast was good with plenty of choice.
There’s nothing not to like!

Outdoor cameras facing inside the rooms, not being able to see outside through the window at night, and most of all, the fees ubers and taxis had to pay to pick clients up or drop us at the hotel!!!

Verified reviewThe hotel itself was very nice with a good breakfast. The grounds are beautiful around a famous religious area. There are nice spa facilities.
It is located very high up at the top of a hill with a very twisty narrow road and gated driveway leading to it. It is not convenient to other activities or taking day trips. It's hard to navigate the road up the hill at night and get through the gate. You pay the fee then get reimbursed at the hotel Lobby.

Verified reviewThe staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. The location of the hotel is perfect and also being waking up by the church bells is a pleasant wake up alarm. The breakfast was also very nice but not for 5 days. Needs a variety I'd say.
I didn't like the wifi connection. Didn't work in my room so making arrangements with the other travelling party was difficult. The spa services weren't working, hot tub didn't work and I kept having to phone to get the sauna steam room turned on. The shower soap dispenser also broke and there seemed to be a strange smell from the air con. If the room smell matched the one in the corridors then that would be amazing.

Verified reviewThe hotel is newly renovated. The rooms are beautiful and the view outside outstanding. There is a spa with a pool and two saunas - Turkish and Steam. The jacuzzi is not really functioning.
The sauna area could be a bit better looked after. There was a lot of water, the glass wall was covered up, saunas would be turned off and would have to ask the staff to turn them on

Verified reviewThe Hotel is amazingly placed within the Bom Jesus surroundings, so by night you almost feel special when everyone else has to leave and you stay there. The room is good, but not to big, but the beds are phenomenal!
The SPA has potential, but needs to be well managed. We’re hoping to have some time to relax and it was impossible with so many people and so many noise. Some rules need to be put in place, because manu customers don’t respect the others. The breakfast is OK, couls be better, but the room gets messy when people come by the end of the shift.

Verified reviewIt was in a great location
No explanation even to turn the bed lights off Doors to Wc& shower were glass with holes where the handles should of been, Going to Wc at night coming Bach hit my head on cubbard sticking out, very bad design faults , No draws in room what’s so ever , wooden stumps as tables were diabolical, and fit hardly anything on, Breakfast was not very good had eggs , bacon mushrooms and pieces of frankfurter sausage ALL WAS COLD,reported this, nowhere to have dinner only at another hotel across a courtyard which was expensive and not a great choice, didn’t want to stay a second night so phoned your Custemer services they was not helpful so just had to leave in the morning and suck up the 96 euros would have gone on to a different area but didn’t want to book another hotel with you just to lose more money.so for a 5 star hotel it was terrible,and obviously wouldn’t go back there.

Verified reviewThe location is great, right in the middle of Bom Jesus complex. The room was huge, and the breakfast was plenty with reasonable vegan options.
The only complaint I would have is the swimming pool in the spa was a bit colder than I expected. That's a minor thing.
