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.).

BelgiumThe matress was quitte thin. Also the pillows we're quitte thin. I wouldn't stay longer than 2 days in Viseu because there's not that much to do but in general it was still a nice stay.
The location was near the square and also only within a 20 min walk of the bus station. There we're restaurants really close to the venue and also small stores with local Portuguese products. Very nice location. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was amazing.

ItalyWhile there's heating in the bedrooms, there isn't any in the rest of the house, it's literally freezing, including the bathrooms, you can sit in the lovely communal areas either cause it's just too cold. It's very expensive and not even tea/coffee provided.
Right in the heart of old Viseu, charming old building, tastefully decorated, spotless, excellent showers, welcoming owner, safe, peaceful, spacious and very warm dorm, quality furnishings.

PortugalThe only less positive point was the mattress and the bed, which could have been more comfortable.
You can't get a better location than this one. It is right in the middle of the historical quarter, making it an excellent base to explore the city. The room was spacious and the building is nice and cosy and always smelling great! :) Continental breakfast was good as well. Attention from the host is over the top!!

MalawiBest hostel I've been to in Portugal !! Very very clean - the toilet, the rooms, they clean very thoroughly, every day, and it feels very clean and cozy. Breakfast was also very nice, and for a fair price. Staff was very warm and welcoming, I highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Viseu! I hope to be back one day :)

BrazilWhat was a downside was the noise from the street. Bars and clubs around made it quite noisy. But not the hotel's fault.
The location was prime. In the middle of the city. Close to all the tourist attractions. Surrounded by bars and restaurants. And about 10 minutes from the bus station. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Perfectly clean. Cozy. Felt like home away from home.

United StatesNoise from the common areas can make it to the sleeping sections. Not ideal for socializing outside quiet hours but not a dealbreaker either.
The central location is absolutely great. The triple rooms are also small as dormitories go meaning that at most you'll be sharing it with no more than 2 people which is ideal.

PortugalI would like to personally thank Cristina for her amazing reception and kindness towards me. She was very sweet and caring whilst my short stay in VisHostel. She arranged things in order for me to feel more comfortable. Thank you so much Cristina! About the hostel per si: the location is right in centre of Viseu, it is easy to access and I believe it provides you comfortable beds, clean shared bathrooms (which can be quite private!) and with an amazing breakfast option. The internet was also stable. Obviously, as it located in the city centre, you can expect some noise during the night, but nothing that - in my perspective - would affect your sleeping. Overall VisHostel exceeded my expectations and I do reccomend it for everyone!

United KingdomThere was really nothing I didn’t like about the property. If I could say one thing that could be improved would be the lighting in the bathrooms. The automatic lights are a great energy saving touch but the sensors wouldn’t always turn them on so I’m the evenings it was quite dark.
The property was in a great location. It was very comfortable and for a hostel the standard of the facilities were amazing!

South AfricaStayed 3 days, private room with bathroom. Location- Prime, all historical buildings and restaurants on doorstep. Establishment- very well run. Very clean, homely, good breakfast. Nicely set up, lots of effort. Value- very good Bed- mattress needs to be replaced, lumpy and uncomfortable. Linen and towels- good - large and small Quality of sleep - not great if you're a light sleeper. Doors are not soundproofed, quite noisy when people return from nights out. Otherwise, the area is quite quiet. Facilities- description states washing machine, tumble dryer - this is misinformation and needs to be reworded to Laundry service €15. They did, however, recommend a self service Laundromat within walking distance that's actually great- inexpensive and quick.
