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.).

GermanyWe prefered the Pousada Inn, with quiet and nicely renovated rooms. Rooms in the regular Inn look a bit oldfashioned. Nice terrace restaurant on upper floor with good food in the middle of the old city district. Really nice service.

United StatesWould have liked a separation between the shower stall and the bowl and sink, so those areas could stay dry. Would have liked more hand towels and a floor mat in the bathroom. Also they are a little short staffed during the peak breakfast time.
Old heritage property. Loved the ambiance and the galleries and antiques.

JerseyWe booked a deluxe double room on the understanding from the cost and how the room was promoted as the best room type at Panjim Pousada that this would be a large, airy boutique hotel room with a luxury heritage feel. It was not. If you have been staying in hostel dorms and want a treat of a room for yourself, then this would fit the bill. If you want luxury and are expecting a boutique hotel, then you will be very disappointed with the room. The deluxe double room definitely did not meet our expectations, and the photos were misleading regarding the size of the room and the overall finish and terrace access. In addition to the finish, our room was also split level making the small room even smaller so in order to open our suitcases we had to make space by moving furniture. It was a small double room in need of redecorating/maintenance and felt overpriced for what we paid. We spoke to the front desk about changing or upgrading our room and they were polite and helpful, but the hotel was fully booked so we could not change to a better room. It is unclear online, but I would recommend from our experience that future travellers wanting a boutique hotel experience do not stay here, perhaps instead stay in the Panjim Inn where there are "superior" room offerings, which we now understand to be a higher level room than "deluxe". Overall the heritage building is beautiful but it does need a lot of TLC and better maintaining as the overall feeling was that it was falling into disrepair. Also the bathroom is quite grotty (see my photo) which is not shown clearly in the advertised photos. We appreciate this is an old colonial building so is never going to be brand new, however the state of maintenance was not clearly advertised in the photos which from our experience were misleading. I recommend future travellers ask to see the room first to avoid disappointment.
Staff were very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The location is great right in the centre of the old Latin Quarter. The property itself is a heritage property but needs some TLC and maintenance. We have absolutely no complaints with the hotel staff all were lovely and helpful - our complaint is with how the hotel is maintained and advertised misleadingly.

IndiaThe quality of food and desserts in the restaurant can be improved. One of the waiters wore a grumpy look (maybe, overworked and tired to manage the Christmas rush). There are two nearby properties run by the same group "Panjim Inn" and the "Panjim Pousada", creating confusion. The picture you see on the website is of Panjim Inn. Panjim Pousada is a few steps away, and the exterior is not so impressive. Customers should be aware of this and make his/her choice.
The breakfast was quite good. Variety could be introduced with the tea-bags (Darjeeling / Assam / Green, etc.) to suit different tastes.

IndiaThere's nothing at all unlikeable about this beautiful haven in a historical neighborhood of Goa - Fontainhas!
The grandeur of a heritage home at the price of a normal hotel room. The entire hotel has a wonderful aesthetic appearance and has many stories to tell, intertwined with the history of Goa. Well managed and ongoing maintenance done very meticulously.
