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 KingdomWe have just returned from a relaxing weeks holiday at Villa Rocha and had such a good time. The owners were really helpful and easy to contact for extra information. The villa itself is beautiful, well maintained, and cared for. The decoration is very stylish and there are excellent facilities. Both the villa and grounds are well-looked after. The kitchen is excellent with a good range of equipment which means, if you want to cook , everything is there for you. The barbecue was an added bonus and meant we were able to enjoy the warm evening after a leisurely day around the pool. Aldi is a short walk away with lots of lovely fresh bread and croisants available each day. The pool was lovely and clean, and there were plenty of sunbeds for everyone. The local area is quiet, but there are some excellent local restaurants, bars, and cafes that are worth a visit and within walking distance. We also walked to the beaches - about a half-hour walk - it is worth visiting, and there are beach umbrellas and sunbeds there to hire. Uber are easily available and are great if you want to avoid the walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a lovely time.

United KingdomYou need a car for the location. There are amenities in walking distance but it is so hot to lug around shopping or traipse kids along the road. A few of the kids reacted to the pool on day 1 and had sores on friction areas. We've put it down to a potential reaction with suncream and chlorine so be sure to shower before and after entry to the pool and allow suncream time to dry. The manager, Nuno, was very helpful and concerned about the kids. Pool is serviced and tested Tues and Thurs so you may want to avoid plunging in early on either of those days. Saying that, other children and babies hadn't problem at all so we may be the anomaly! A few more household bits would be useful to save buying boxes of dishwasher tabs, washing powder, cleaning materials, dishcloths, shampoo etc. If some basics were provided for the stay it would be helpful and would help keep the house a bit cleaner. We did appreciate hand soap in each bathroom as often this is not provided. We were issued 1.5 towels per person (bath and hand). Tbh it isn't enough for a week's stay and they were pretty grubby by the end of the week. We had a washing machine but were instructed not to wash. So additional towels, or fresh towels half way through the week, would be useful. Also recommend a couple of bottles of water for people arriving. Late night arrivals especially need something to save shopping on arrival! Just a few pointers here but overall a wonderful stay and we are already looking to return.
House is lovely and great having the space and the aircon. Feels safe. Lovely pool. Blackout shutters were excellent, best I've slept all summer!

Last minute booking lovely large 3 bedroom villa. Well equipped and extremely clean with a washing machine and a dishwasher. The villa was cleaned fresh bedding and towels half way through our stay. The only thing we could of asked for was more sunshine but the weather was warmer than the uk. Lovey pizzeria 2 minutes walk away, Aldi 2 minutes in the car. Beautiful beach 5-10 min drive away. Had a fabulous stay you need a car but then it’s a 50 min drive from the airport so by car for a family was best for us. We hope to visit again in the future and will recommend Villa Rocha to our friends.
