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.).

GermanyWiFi not very good, barely any connection on the balcony. Despite the big parking lot in front of the house, finding a spot can get very tricky in peak beach times (only 2 reserved places for hotel guests).
Great place, huge rooms with a kitchenette and a big balcony even with sunloungers and amazing sea view. Direct beach access to the lovely Praia das Milícias, even beach towels are provided. Good breakfast (although you might have to wait a bit due to Covid restrictions as no self-service is allowed); wonderful room service that cleans the room every day spotlessly. Central location on Sao Miguel especially for hiking as you reach every point within an hour.

FranceNothing of note although air conditioning would be a bonus for those hot & humid days. Wasn't really a problem as we had the fresh air coming off the sea...
Great view of the beach, easy access too. Hotel also provided beach towels! Closeby restaurants with good value for money meals. Only 15 minutes by taxi to the airport was a bonus...

NetherlandsThe breakfast is good, but not what we expected, however this is probably also due to personal taste and preferences.
The location, facilities and staff are amazing! Located right at the beach you have really well equiped, clean rooms with staff members that will do anything to make your stay as pleasent as possible.

United KingdomDiscomfort caused by dust mites throughout the night, resulting in a rash and lack of sleep The night receptionist, an elderly man, was neither friendly nor helpful and would not have assisted me had I not insisted. The property shows signs of being run down and could benefit from an upgrade and a deep clean. The crockery and cooking utensils in the kitchen seem outdated. The pillows were very uncomfortable. I twice requested that management contact me so that I could share my grievances privately instead of on this platform, but this was ignored.
Good location with easy access by bus Stunning view over the sea I enjoyed the nice balcony Flexible service: The breakfast room was specially opened at 04:00 as my friend had an early departure Adequate breakfast, including various breads, croissants, cereals, scrambled eggs, cheese, cut meats, and fruit Friendly and helpful staff, particularly the lady receptionist and young man at the reception Bonus amenity: Access to a kitchen Spacious room for two people

CanadaThe room was quite rundown, and there were weird things like: lamps that didn't work, and no place to plug in the hot plate that was supposed to be part of the "kitchenette". Also, the sponge in the kitchen for doing dishes was just gross, and the mini fridge was unstable and froze half of our food. It was just ok overall.
The location was lovely - right on the beach, and the staff were friendly. Also the room was clean.
