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...).

CanadaWe had to ask for an instruction sheet for the washer, however the service we received was prompt. I was dissappointed however we did not receive any soap until the last couple of days we were there, could not understand that. But everything else exceeded that very small issue.
Pool area very nice and well maintained. I especially liked all the conveniences that were in good shape. The balcony area was also very comfortable and this was something of a priority for me. The space we had was amazing.

PortugalThe TV noise from next door was too loud. when you open the balcony door, you can hear everything from your neighbours.Upstairs downstairs and next door! The apartment didn’t provide any soaps only towels , so we had to buy everything from detergent to washing up liquids, shampoo and so on. Would have been nice to have a little supply to start with when you are staying for just a few days. The most facilities were closed, we could not use the gym nor indoor swimming pool.
Big balcony and a lovely sea(river) view of Ferragudo

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike
Everything! It was a large apartment with access to the balcony from lounge and bedroom. We had a view of the marina and overlooked the swimming pool. The furniture was modern and the king-size bed very comfortable. Towels were changed every 2 days and bedding every 4 days. Housekeeping came in every day to empty bins and check we had enough toilet rolls etc. It was a 10 minute walk to the beach (which was beautiful) and also 10 min to bars and restaurants. The apartments were quiet and there were no problems of noise from other apartments. Also there was free underground parking.

United KingdomWould have been nice to have had more seats on the balcony, only two and there was 4 of us. The WiFi is a bit hit and miss but reception gave us a code for one specific to our apartment so think they are trying to improve it. The pull out bed wasn’t very comfy but the main bedroom bed was. No oven so can’t cook things like pizza etc but only a problem if not eating out really. Hot water ran out during showers if anyone had a long one! The safe was hit and miss in terms of whether it opened/closed! Sometimes it took over 20 attempts to get it open even with the right code!
Really central to everything. As there’s long lets as well as holiday makers, never any rush for sun beds in the morning, there’s always some. Pool is huge! Apartment was massive and fully equipped. Easy to get around with Uber and walking distance to marina and playa de rocha. Alvor is a max 10 min Uber ride away.

IrelandIt was advertised as having a pool bar and games room, spa none of them where open or even there.... Departure time is very early, and it wasn't noted that we had asked for a late check out, at a cost of 20euro for a 12 o clock check out (which is much more realistic departure time) i was greated with a little bit of rudeness over not having left at 10, Shame as it was my last hours there.
The apartments are really big, the general up keep was fabulous It was not too far to walk to the centre and I'd happily stay there again

PortugalThe pool area didn't have enough shadows, the sun umbrellas where way too small for the tipical client usualy with families with children. The bar/restaurant area was not in use. A beverage service would be very welcome for the hit days of summer by the pool. The toaster in our kitchen was not working properly.
