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 KingdomThe check in was a bit frustrating as I had asked if I could arrive earlier and there was no-one on reception. I tried phoning the number but it took a long time to get a response and for someone to let me in. Probably reception closed as it was low season.
I liked the area that the hotel is located in and it was good to make use of the balcony as it formed a real sunspot in February. I had a quick swim in the pool too. There were not many people at this time of year so it was quiet. The surrounding areas are more rural and pretty and it is not far to a bus stop, supermarket and cafes and restaurants. Easy to get to Barrancas beach and Falesia and Olhos de Agua. Very good price for the nights.

GermanyAs we wanted to check in the reception was empty and the staff didn't answer the phone for 30 minutes. We didn't reach them the whole day and we called them often.
It was a huge apartment. Nice pool area. For the money it was good value.

SpainI was phoned at 5.30pm to confirm my check-in time. I said 6.45. (I was sent a threat to say that check-ins after 7pm would incur a 20€ charge). The location according to Booking.com was wrong, by 300m, so I only found the office owing to my using a gps tracker. Despite my confusion, I arrived at 6.43, no one there. I phoned the number back that had called and he said he was on his way. I waited 25 minutes outside for him to arrive. All he could do was apologise. A dreadful start and this would have spoilt my stay except for the quality of the apartment. The kitchenette us a mess, however, with the microwave, toaster and kettle set up under the TV and only an electric twin-plate hob beside the sink. Some of the utensils were lacking or looked a bit grubby so I used my own.
Spacious apartment, with sofa, kitchenette, good-sized bathroom. Spacious private terrace. Great value for money.

PortugalThe floor was a little dusty and furniture was old and could use an upgrade.
The space was pretty nice with two pools, a bar and a lot of space. The room had a great size and had everything needed for out stay. We loved the little outside area of the room. It's in a calm area and easy access to most things you'd want to visit. There's also lots of parking spaces.

PortugalThe main issue which i faced is that i made the deposit at the reception and after two days i need to check out early morning. A night before checking out i asked for my security deposit and they said that we will transfer you through bank deposit tomorrow. I waited for many days and messaged then again, asking for my deposit return, but these people started making excuses and now these guys blocked my number. Is it really a scam going on? I booked from booking.com and i think that now its your responsibility to get my deposit back.

IrelandDont let the Negatives put you off. Few Issues . One thing in the apt is needed . Extracter fan in the Bathroom. Because some of the bathroom is in the Middle of the apt when you have a shower . Bit of damp . The bathroom has vents . As for The toilet roll . You just Replace it . Cost €1.20 . The Deposit is for young people so they dont Destroy the place. They were very good gave back to my card 4 hours after Check out. Nature ants . Is Common in the area. You done get some . You just Sweep them up . If its a real Problem get a top floor apt
The one thing i like was the staff. Very helpfull. The area was very Quiet and relaxing Nice restaurants and pubs nearby. I will Definitely stay there again . As for the apt great value for money. Two pools and a bar. You can get taxi to the old town . The beach is not fair away. Really nice beach. The weather was great when i was there. Great winter sun .
