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.).

CanadaThey don’t seem to have double sized bed layout but two twins. The mattress is a bit hard on my back.
Unbeatable location: right at the beach with unobstructed view from equipped balcony. The room is huge with 300 sq ft and private kitchen. Staff is friendly and always available at the reception to lend beach towel, keep the entry card and provide other helps like a heater for our March stay. Definitely worth it.

United StatesMaybe they could clean the curtain over the balcony door.
Although there are many more up market hotel options on the island, I love that this one is right on the beach, with having balconies facing the ocean. Falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves is delightful. The free breakfast is excellent, with local cheeses and tea, and excellent coffee machine with all the espresso your heart desires. There’s an unusually large parking lot for the island, where it is easy to park. Across the street are a few surprisingly good restaurants. One in particular has an excellent menu that rivals some of the well reviewed restaurants in ponta Delgada and Furnas. Although sao roque is a more simple village, walkable access to multiple beaches and restaurants. A fast drive to ponta Delgada. I recommend this hotel.

PortugalNothing...we've liked all.
The staff was asbolutely fantastic. Allways with a smile in their faces and 100% available for what we needed and with lots of patience to our kids. Thank you. The location is amazing (its actualy IN the beach) very close to the highway and city center. The breakfast is very nice and the rooms has a very nice view and the kitchen in the room, very usefull. In the new years eve, the offered us a champagne bottle for us to enjoy at midnight...it was truly a very nice gesture. We'll be back.

United KingdomThe pillows were foam and lumpy. We only stayed one night, and would have asked for different ones if we had been there for longer.
The hotel is situated right on the beach. Access can be gained from the lower ground floor straight onto the sand. The room had a great view of the beach and all the activities from our balcony - mainly people learning how to surf! The room is large with a seating area, separate kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is fairly well stocked and should you need anything you can ask. It was clean and the staff were very accommodating, opening up the breakfast room very early for us as we had an early flight from Ponta Delgado. No frills, but a great place if you want a beach stay.

CanadaNothing for recyclables in room. We witnessed staff empty all trash, including bottles and recyclables, into one bin in a public location outside the hotel, when there are clearly labelled bins for paper, plastic, glass, metal, garbage and bottles. Sao Miguel is such a beautiful island. Much more education on recycling is needed. Bed had a very thin mattress. TV was very small.
Location right on the beach is great. Fabulous views and loved the sound of the ocean at night. Parking is available and nice breakfast with view of ocean. Room was basic but really clean.

CanadaWe stayed for 7 days so the breakfasts became a little boring but realize it is hard to please everyone when it comes to food. It was great not having to go out to search for food every morning.
The view breath taking. The accommodations were more than adequate. The bathroom was small and the shower a bit of a challenge but useful. All in all a very good experience. Restaurants across the street a bonus.

The staff was the nicest, they will go out of their way if you need help with anything. Great breakfast in mornings with a different azorean dessert each day and a relaxing ocean beach view. The cleaning ladies are the best, rooms are ready when you arrive back from your day. Everyone is nice and greet you each day with a smile, Bon Dia!

United KingdomThe mattresses weren't super comfortable and we had two separate beds next to each other instead of a double. Unfortunately no savoury vegan options or clear allergen informations for sweets. We were still able to have breakfast with oats, fruits, bread and jam. Would have been better to have labels though, when we asked they weren't able to tell us
Stunning location, right on the beach. The hotel has a big free parking and S.Rouque is less than 10 minutes driving from Ponta Delgada. We were very happy with the daily cleaning services and the room size. Overall, it's definitely worth the price
