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 KingdomThere were renovations going on while we were there which we weren't aware of in advance. Some parts of the rooms, bathrooms were a bit tired needed a bit of renovation especially the showers which sometimes only had a trickle of water.
The location was great, close to the marina for a few bars and restaurants. The apartments were a great size with ample room to accommodate all the group. The pool and amenities were good., with decent snacks bars for beers and pizzas. Great size pool.

IrelandI appreciate that we were staying in April but to have the little pool side snack shop open would’ve been great!
Beautiful bright coloured buildings. Fantastic pool. Close to the marina where there are lovely bars and restaurants and a small Spar which has most things (just not fresh fruit or veg). A lovely walk into albufeira old town. Tourist train stops every ten minutes or so beside the steps down to the marina.

Excellent place to stay, few restaurants and bars on the front just a stone throw away. We went in February so not everything was open but highly recommended the Irish bar! Property was clean, there was building work going on which we could hear for the little time we was in the apartment.

PolandPoor kitchen facilities. The gas cooker heated poorly, which, combined with the large diameter of the pots (there was only one small one), caused problems bringing to the boil even pasta put in boiling water. Plates, cups, glasses and cutlery were plentiful. You can't complain too much about the pots and pans either, but the rest of the equipment left to be desired. Apart from the microwave, capsule coffee machine and toaster, there was only what was pictured. One could look in vain for a sponge, dishwashing liquid, kitchen towel or even scissors. Another problem was the hot water coming from the gas heater. Not only did you have to wait a long time for it, wasting litres of water, but it ran out when two people tried to take a shower. The interior was overly modestly decorated and equipped, for instance there was just one chair and a small desk in the huge master bedroom. Lots of empty, unused space. All in all, not really cosy. See the photos. Wi-Fi was poor on the upper floor. Hooks or clothes hangers were badly missing both at the entrance (when it rained, there was nowhere to hang wet jackets after coming into the house) and in the bathrooms. The bathroom next to the largest bedroom was too tiny although there was a large empty space in front of it and there was nowhere to hang or even put clothes because there was no room for a chair. The upper bathrooms lacked ventilation - when someone took a shower, the small space immediately fogged up. If someone needed a mirror after a shower, they had no chance to use it because it was completely steamed up. In the living room there was a sofa and one armchair, but there was no lighting of any kind for the sofa (which is visible in the background in one of the photos) so in the evening it was impossible to sit there and read because it was too dark. In the largest bedroom, it was only possible to sit at the desk, although there is plenty of space and a sofa or armchairs and lighting for them could be arranged.
A spacious and nicely located duplex apartment a few minutes walk from the Marina and 20 minutes walk from the historic centre of Albufeira. Quite a few restaurants nearby open even in January. Possibility to use the internal car park. Cleaning every other day. Three bathrooms, one by the master bedroom, one shared by two bedrooms and a third one by the living room. Nice and friendly staff. Nicely maintained greenery.
