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.).

the hotel is fabulous. So near center of Alvor but still far enough away for no noise. Staff are super friendly. Rooms cleaned and towels changed everyday. Near beach and all amenities. Roof top sun bathing terrace is fab. also has pool below, which people with small children use.

No washing machine in apartment but they do offer a washing service but bit pricey at €10. It's only €5 in other areas.
Everything. From check-in to checkout. Very friendly staff everywhere. The apartment was immaculate and the upgrade of them has been worth it. Roof terrace is beautiful and spacious. They even provide pool towels if you need them. Pool area is clean but not large if full to capacity but not everyone uses it as the beach is nearby. Wee snack bar at pool too. Location is perfect as it is in the centre of Alvor so all shops,restaurants and amenities are within short walking distance. Kitchen cleaning supplies are provided. They are also well equipped. Mini toiletries in bathroom if you don't have your own. The showers are spacious and have 2 choices of shower heads. The beds are extremely comfortable and a safe deposit box is provided with your own key (no xtra charge). Balconies are adequate. They have garden level ones which have 2 sunloungers as well as table and chairs. These would be ideal in warmer months as the sun is out early. If you want specific rooms you would need to book in advance as one side is garden view and the other is street view which isn't ideal. Rooms facing pool which is south facing are mainly studios I think but don't quote me on that. We would definitely stay here again. Cleaning every day cept Sunday if you wish. Bed linens are changed in the week too. Lovely atrium full of plants and trees between floors. There are lifts for your convenience too. Overall an excellent holiday experience. We stayed for 3 nights as we had other accommodation beforehand as in timeshare but would definitely stay longer if extending our holiday.

AlvorMar apartments were absolutely fantastic. Our apartment was spacious, modern and absolutely spotless. Each apartment is kitted out extremely well with everything you could possibly need. The complex itself was very clean and within easy walking distance from everything Alvor had to offer. I loved that the baby pool was built in a way that it was constantly in the shade. We felt very at home there!

It does say sea view, but although in the distance its not a true what I would call a proper sea view. End of bed to wall no room not good for the elderly
For us it was close to perfection fairly quiet and laid back, spotlessly clean and modern, couldn't be in a better position for restaurants and bars ,will go back and definitely recommend.
