How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Everything was lovely, the room was very spacious and modern, big windows looking out to the front of the hotel. All the staff were very pleasant and even got us extra coffees and waters in the room. Getting married close to Santo Tirso in September and have recommended the hotel to family and friends flying over from England.

My husband, 4 year old son and I spent 2 nights at 8 Villas in July 2023 for a wedding, and loved our time there. The hotel staff are so friendly and accommodating. It had a professional vibe, with a pleasant family touch that you don’t get often. The breakfast was really nice and had a good selection each day (including made to order omelettes etc). The town is really pretty and people were really friendly. We would definitely stay again and thanks to Nelson and company for a nice stay.

We arrived early but we were allowed to get our room straight away so we could relax after lots of traveling. The location is great and there are lots of options for breakfast to suit everyone.

Everything was perfect
What a gem set in the heart of the little town of Santo Tirso. it’s a small boutique hotel, elegantly designed and decorated. Our room was very spacious and clean. Bed comfortable with lovely bedding. The bathroom is a little on the small side but you have everything you need. Breakfast was great with fresh vegetables and fruit. Thus is a great place to stay in the Brags Porto area and we loved the town. So much charm.

We were disappointed that the restaurant had had to close for a few months but understood totally the reasons for it. However, the restaurants Nelson recommended for dinner and lunch were easy to access and had very good food.
Nelson was very helpful both before, in emails and booking taxis and in the friendly manner he greeted us and told us about the area. He also booked a great restaurant for us. The hotel was very central really well appointed in a creative modern style. What a change from a bank! Our room was large, very comfortable and had a lovely little balcony with table and chairs. It was cool with the balcony door open and as it faced a courtyard, very quiet. We also enjoyed the breakfast. We definitely would recommend the hotel and would return!

To have some parking spots for cars. But according to the owner its matter of time to arrange with the city the availability of parking spots in front of the hotel. But parking in front of the Hotel is very cheep after all, only 0,90Euro / 90minutes.
Breakfast was very good with many options, fresh bakery bread and very helpful and polite service. Actually all staff, from the owner to the service and cleanup personnel, all of them too much helpful and polite. Food at the restaurant, for lunch and dinner, in two words, just perfect, and at amazing good prices. rooms not too much big, but with all required comforts, like A/C, WiFi, mini fridge, coffee machine...

It was really hot the room. It didn't had proper ventilation system but it had air con and it was properly working. I just can't sleep with any noise and I don't like air con. My room didn't had a Window to open, only a door to a commun balcony, so I didn't feel safe to open it during the night.
Staff very friendly, nice decoration, clean and good breakfast. If you are vegetarian or vegan advice to tell them. Really good location.
