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...).

Costa RicaJust be aware that it is a walk-up, and a lot of stairs and plan/pack accordingly. This can't be helped, and the building felt very safe, just make sure you have the mobility to conquer the staircase. Maybe move the chair or put a smaller one in the 2nd bedroom for a bit more space.
Miguel was SO wonderful, immediately answered questions/was available on whatsapp, was gracious with arrival time and had some treats for us upon arrival, which we really enjoyed! The apartment was VERY clean, and it's in a great location to walk or take a bus/tram to anywhere. Miguel gave great recommendations and a buch of info. for things close to be able to do and see. Having the extra toilet while sharing the apartment with a friend was really nice for privacy.

United KingdomThe location is excellent, right in the middle of things, right along the the tramline too. Lots of good options for food & drink. The flat is on the fifth floor without a lift, so this may be challenging for some. The kitchen is really well equipped, very thoughtful. Overall I couldn't recommend it highly enough, we will definitely be back!

United KingdomThe standard check in time of 4pm is quite late compared to many places I have stayed internationally especially when we arrived on an early morning flight so had to hang about. To be fair thought the host allowed us to leave bags and we got in earlier so it was a minor inconvenience that probably won't affect everyone. Like others mentioned the apartment is in the attic above floor 5 so many steps. This didn't affect us at all other than improve our fitness and of course actually makes the apartment quiet as it's so high up. worth mentioning though in case you have mobility issues.
We had an excellent stay at this apartment. I am a very regular traveller and like to be fair and constructive in my reviews. The apartment is in a fantastic location very close the centre and was very quiet even being in the city centre. we felt very at home and could easily have stayed longer. The apartment is very well equipped and has many kitchen and bathroom essentials in case you have forgotten or only carry hand luggage. Lots of hot water and beds comfy and apartment clean. Host was very friendly with excellent communication and information. I can't really fault anything and was towards the top of place I have stayed during my travels. I would highly recommend to anyone.

TurkeyI can't say anything negative, but it was sometimes difficult to climb the stairs to the 6th floor after a tired day, but it was not too tiring. The stairs are not too steep and it is possible to rest.
The location of the house was excellent. It is possible to reach many touristic areas on foot. Many places were even closer than they appeared on the map. The house was very clean and all our needs were available in the house. When we first arrived home, a bottle of wine and some snacks were waiting for us. After a tiring journey, these treats were wonderful for us. Our host Miguel is very helpful. He gave us a list of places to visit in the city and answered our questions quickly. Miguel made our life easier. I spent 3 nights in this apartment with two friends and we all left very satisfied with the apartment.

United KingdomNothing.
Location was excellent being close to a number of attractions, transport links and we were spoilt for choice for restaurants, bakeries etc. We were met by the host and a generous welcome basket full of local treats. Nothing was too much trouble. Apartment was fully stocked with towels, linen and essentials. Wife and daughter were very happy to find a range of good quality toiletries too. A number of reviews mention the stairs but they were not a problem for us in our late 50s with basic fitness. Apartment was quiet and had everything we wanted for our stay. We loved Lisbon and we will look to return someday. We will stay here again.

CanadaBe warned, if you are not physically fit, or have large suitcases, there are 116 steps up to the apartment! Also the lights in the stairs are on very short timers, and would occasionally go out before we reached the top, leaving us in the dark until we could feel around for the switch on the next landing. We chalked it up as part of the adventure!
The apartment was clean, bright and airy on the 5th floor of an older walk up building in the heart of the Lisbon historic district. It was quiet for sleeping, well equipped, and Miguel was a very kind, generous and accommodating host, meeting us at check in and touring us through the apartment. Lots of restaurants and sights in the neighbourhood.

United KingdomThat I couldn't stay longer.
Everything, it was clean and very well equipped and fantastically located.. I loved the decor, the art, the lounge. It was very comfortable and felt like home. I sadly only stayed a few days but you could easily base yourself here for a longer stay. There are a number of stairs but I am 60yrs old and managed them easily . I was travelling solo and the apartment felt safe and the entrance was well lit. Miguel was an excellent host If you are lucky enough for this to be available don't hesitate to book it There are lots of restaurants and major sights close by and it was easy to find and gain entry.

United StatesWe loved everything.
Everything! Miguel is the most gracious host and changed his plans to accommodate us arriving quite early. He gave us so many recommendations! He was extremely responsive, the place was spotlessly clean and comfortable and he even help us carry our bags up the stairs (5 flights) but worth it! My wife sprained her ankle on the last day of the trip (walking on the cobblestone streets) and he helped us find a place where we can but an ace bandage and crutches and he woke up super early to help us carry our bags down. The place is awesome, Miguel is awesome. Lisbon is AWESOME! Just book this place, it’s near EVERYTHING!!!! Safe, beautiful neighborhood in the heart of it all!

BulgariaThere was no such a thing. Everything was amazing!!
Everything was perfect! The owner was very nice and helpful. By our arriving he show us around the apartment, send us recommendations for restaurants and supermarkets nearby and another information about landmarks we could visit. He gave us also extra things that could make our stay easier, for example cards for the public transport. The communication with him was amazing, he was replying immediately and in details. He even answered me a lot of questions before our holiday. He sent us a lot of information for how to reach the apartment and booked us a taxi for the airport when we were leaving. He lives in the same building and for us it was very good. We have never met such a nice host before. The apartment was incredible. It was very clean and there was absolutely everything you can need - everything that you need in the kitchen, coffee, tea, in addition hairdryer, iron, additional towels and blankets. There is a police station next to the apartment so it is very safe even in the evening. It is around 3 minutes walking distance to the Rua Augusta Arch. It is near the city center but it is also very quite and calm - there is no noice that could disturb you at night. Top place we've ever stayed in. We higly recommend it!

United StatesTight bathrooms, but this is our first trip to Portugal, and perhaps this is normal. We easily made-do.
Miguel was the perfect host!! Attentive and helpful, with excellent written and verbal (via phone as needed) directions for easily getting to the apartment from the airpirt, and tourist recommendations for enjoying a true taste of Lisbon in a short amount of time (5 days). He knows his city and his guests! The bathrooms were tight, but certainly serviceable for our familiy's needs on a short stay. We would definitely stay at Miguel's warm, welcoming accommodations if we are lucky enough to see the lovely city of Lisbon again--We hope to come back!! Blessings, and a Happy ppy New Year! to you and all of Lisbon, Miguel!
