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 KingdomJust a few things stopped it from being perfect It is perhaps important for prospective guests to understand that Santa Antonio run a number of villas and the one allocated may not have the view shown in the photograph. Ours didn't and although it was a sea view it was a little disappointing compared to the photo. There was a bedside light missing from the double bedroom There was no cloth to wipe the kitchen worktops although there was a jumble of used cloths in a cupboard which had been used for who knows what.
This is a high quality spacious villa, very nicely furnished and tastefully decorated..The seating indoors is comfortable and we enjoyed spending time in the living area when the weather was not so good We enjoyed having the sunny balcony , the ground floor terrace and the roof terrace . The balcony has table, chairs and a parasol. The terraces both have loungers. The shared pool is good. It is a fairly steep uphill walk back from the restaurants in the village but ok if you are reasonably fit.This villa should have been a perfect ten but for a few small niggles .

CanadaThe stairs were ridiculous!! If you can’t do stairs don’t book here, they’re everywhere and hard to bring in the luggage!! Thank goodness my husband is strong!! Also if you don’t have a car it’s down down down the hill to get to Salema at the bottom. Then climbing up the hill! The property was spacious but, everything was quite dated! For over 200.00 Canadian a night in Portugal, you’d expect something a bit more upto date as far as furnishings go!
The view was great.

United StatesThere is much to recommend, and it's a pretty good value, but the amenities that would make it a five-star experience are lacking. It may depend on which villa you are assigned, but ours had worn furniture, no comfortable outside lounge chairs, no beach towels or equipment, and kitchen essentials were missing. Trying to find the place is a challenge, it's a condo maze up there.
The villa was spacious. The staff was very helpful and responsive to our requests and needs. The surrounding park lands and views are gorgeous. The pool is as nice as pictured. There was a grill, washing machine, hot pot, drip coffee pot, dishwasher, stove, and oven and fortunately, we found instruction books to help us figure out how to work them. No clothes dryer, but a drying rack and lots of wind. We figured out that our oven was broken, and it was replaced within two days, which I thought was impressive. We loved Salema, it was quieter than Lagos (a 25 minute drive), the beach is beautiful, and we were happy with the restaurant selection. Just know that the town is a pretty long walk down and down and then up and up back to the villas, probably 10 minutes.

United StatesI felt the instructions on how to get the keys were poor. I had to go to a location miles away to get the key, only to find out that there was a lockbox at the condo. If they were providing the best experience, it would have been much better to leave the key at the house in the existing lockbox. There were some broken cabinets in the kitchen. No differentiation between the loose laundry detergent and the dishwashing detergent packets had me guessing.
the View was amazing. the development was very well kept up and felt safe.

PortugalThe location is very steep to walk, if you don't have a car be ready to exercise. We also found some ants in the bedrooms’ floors, which were not an actual problem but they didn’t share expenses with us and it would have been nicer if we didn’t have them there. The house should provide a sponge and dishwasher detergent even though there’s a dishwasher.
Everything was great. Amazing view and quiet area! The house is spacious and the exceeded our expectations in terms of space and appliances. On the first night we turned on the AC and the house was instantly warm and cosy. The staff was very helpful in providing a nice coffee machine that saved our mornings.
