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.).

United StatesPerfect place when visiting Aveiro! The bed was so comfortable, the shower was spacious, and the balcony had a beautiful view of the lighthouse. We loved this place so much that we didn't want to leave. Breakfast was excellent. There is also a cafe right by the corner of the hotel. Space was so clean and exactly what we needed. Highly recommend!

BelgiumThe main light is a bit too blue for me
The view on the farol, the terrace on the roof, the bath, the comfortable bed, and the heater, all contribute to a relaxing stay on the seaside

United StatesIn Nov 2023, Our drive from Sintra to Porto took us through Casas típicas de Costa Nova. Nice country drive, instead of a highway full of trucks. We had a delicious lunch in Dori restaurant in Costa Nova, took pictures of the colorful houses, then we continued our trip. We spent one night at hotel Farol. We chose this hotel instead of the commercial touristy area of Aveiro. Our room was spacious on the second floor. Had a big terrace (table and chairs) and a great view of the Farol de Aveiro lighthouse. We watched ships coming and going at the entrance of the river while drinking a glass of wine. Breakfast was plentiful and staff was friendly. We parked in front of the hotel. Free wifi was excelent Hotel Farol exceded our expectation.

PortugalIf I may say something just the toilet is a bit old, but this is a very minor aspect.
Everything is about expectations. For a 3 or 2 star hotel what they are offer is excellent. The breakfast is very good and the room confortable and large. The location is wonderful right near the sea and at the end of ria de aveiro.
