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...).

SpainRoom could have been aired out a little before my arrival. Also because it is not close to any shops, maybe a small food/drink welcome pack would be nice for late arrivals. Everything else was perfect.
Beautiful Pension Style Accommodation, the garden and pool area particularly stunning. Bed was very comfortable, mostly very quiet.

United KingdomBeautiful house with unbelievably beautiful gardens, Andre shares the same love I have for plants. Room was simple and clean, AC worked great which was a blessing on hot and sunny days. Kitchen had everything needed for cooking and a whole fridge and freezer for guests 😀 Andre was amazing, kind and helpful, although he wasn't actually around he was contactable via messages. Super simple check in process and Andre was kind enough to let us stay and use the garden space after checkout as we had a late night flight ✈️ Lovely beaches just over a 10 minute drive away, we hired a car and this was great for getting around and exploring and getting to shops etc. The other guests were all super friendly and was a nice opportunity to meet other people from around the world 🌎

SpainThere's really nothing to not like...the house and the host are superb! The neighborhood is in development so there are areas still in construction or needing a reformation but that's ok
The house is beautifully decorated and has a nice, chilled vibe with plants all around. The garden outside is wonderful and very well taken care of. Swimming pool is big and clean. Lots of places to sit down and relax. The garden has a ping pong table, a balance board and even a slack line! But the best of all is Andre, the host. He was super welcoming and friendly, always ready to help with anything. He made our stay be a wonderful one, thanks André!!

LuxembourgOur stay at André‘s place in the Vila Vale Guest House was perfect. We‘ve stayed there for one night and we‘ve regretted that we could‘nt stay longer. It is a very charming house and our room was very beautiful. They have a stunning garden and pool. We felt comfortable from the beginning. You can see the loving details that the hosts invested everywhere. The hosts were very accomodating and helpful with their suggestions for restaurants and the surf school. They made all the reservations for us. The villa is situated close to nice beaches, bars and restaurants. We felt very welcomed and had a pleasant stay. We can highly recommend this place.

United Arab EmiratesIf you wish to move around a lot, we would recommend to rent a car (about 30-40 mins from airport or lisbon city center but you will go on the 25th April bridge to get there which is worth it)
Beautiful villa in the south of Lisbon. The swimming pool and the garden are like an heaven. The owner welcomed us with big smile like you get when you arrive home and is able to propose lots of activities especially related to yoga and surf but is also full of great advices. The room was very comfortable and clean and the house is very well decorated giving the impression to be in your own holidays house. We wish to thank Andre to have giving such a warm welcome and a taste of what is the best of hospitality for portugese. This is the perfect location if you wish to see the southern of portugal (praia do ribeiro do cavalo, praia dos penedos, sesimbra, caparica,...) without being too far from Lisbon.

United KingdomWe truly loved our time at Vila Vale, it felt like a home away from home. The garden area is so well maintained and it’s such a beautiful place to relax. Similarly, the bedroom and living areas were all very clean and decorated tastefully. Vila Vale is a true little oasis tucked away in a nice quiet area. Each day we walked to the beautiful nearby beaches, with plenty of great local restaurants near by. Knowing this is just over 2hrs away from London is great, and we will definitely be back at some point. Andre and Andrea were so kind, welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they had lots of great recommendations for things to do.

Germanyabsolutely nothing to complain about
How should I start, there is nothing to complain about! The accommodation is furnished with attention to detail, you can see immediately that the hosts have put their heart and soul into it, but regardless, you couldn't wish for better hosts. The two of them are super nice, friendly and you immediately feel well looked after and if you have any questions you are taken care of as a matter of course. You can feel a great vibe and I immediately took them to my heart. Thank you for your hospitality, I hope to see you again! in your house when I'm back, or somewhere else in portugal ;)
