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...).

NetherlandsThere is an indoor fireplace to dry your shoes (which is nice) but it creates a vibration and humming noise in the room I was sleeping in. It's not a deal breaker though.
This place is lovey!! Excellent value for money. This is by far the nicest place I stayed at on the Camino. Clean and comfortable. The weather wasn't good but the outside area with pool would be perfect if you want to relax after a long day of walking. It's a bit of the path but definitely worth it.

Everything. It felt more like home than any hostel I’ve ever stayed at. The staff was very friendly and helpful, there was a lovely garden and a pool, two dining areas not including the kitchen, it’s within walking distance to the sea and all amenities in town, beds luxuriously comfortable ….

Warm, friendly and supportive with a communal environment. I loved staying at the lodging while on the Camino. After a day of walking in the rain, the pellet stove was a welcome treat.

United States of AmericaLoved the property, even had a great pool. Has a different part of the property where they rent the rooms for longer periods, like weekly and monthly. Will consider staying there again for a few days in the future. There was only one issue with the door in our bedroom’s bathroom, it would not close properly, nor be able to lock from the inside, which can be remedied easily.
Property is amazing, a country home from the mid 1800 with all it’s charm. Too bad we were only staying for one night as peregrinos while doing the Camino Portugues. We felt so welcome the moment we stepped inside the gate, with Andreia’s smile and her helping us fetch our mochilas and luggage to our second floor room. Upon asking her for a masseuse recommendation, we were surprised to learn her boss Fernando (the owner of Solar Laginha) happens to be a massage therapist! He stopped by 5-10 minutes later, and we agreed for him to come back with his massage table an hour later for massages for my friend and myself. Fernando was “God sent”, I had pulled a back muscle a day before, and was not 100%, and he sure fixed it. And the ultimate surprise was he refused payment for his services, it was on him as a treat to 2 senior pilgrims. So I’m not young, and I’ve never encountered such a gracious gesture, thanks you Fernando, may God reward you with health and love.

CanadaBecause the main building is very spacious and there's no central heating, our room on the second floor was quite cool - it was a chilly, rainy evening outside. We had extra blankets with us so were comfortable but it wouldn't have been great without that. The check-in instructions came immediately before time to check in. That's understandable so people don't go in early, but I would have appreciated a message to let us know that's the plan because it was a little anxiety-producing just waiting and not knowing if they're just busy with other things and might not get to it.
This is a magnificent property, looks like it's rich in history and well maintained. Everything is orderly and clean. The bedding was better than average, very comfortable. The pool area was lovely, clean and very quiet.
