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.).

PortugalNothing! Everything was perfect.
Everything was amazing. I couldn't recommend more this guest house. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The dinner with al the guests at one table was a different yet amazing experience, and the food (and wine!!) was very good (the port wine served before and after was one of the bests that I tasted!). We were lucky to have one of the best bedrooms of the guest house. Was enormous and very comfortable. We really recommend you visit this guest house for its different and you feel like home.

TurkeyThe hotel was located on the top of the mountain in a tiny village. The building was so beautiful and the surroundings were magical. The welcoming was the warmest we have ever witnessed in Portugal. The family who owns the hotel welcomed us with Porto wine and Portuguese songs :) Τhe dinner and breakfast was set at a big table designed for everyone to eat together. The meals were so delicious 😋 Βefore and after the dinner Porto wine accompanied the whole night. We are so grateful for this special hospitality and we can’t wait to come again ❤️

The property is 10 mins by taxi from Pinhão which costs between 10 and 17 euro. Dinner is offered to guests and is good wholesome home cooked food. This is a family run Quinta - where service is simple and warm. The pool area is lovely and the wines are good. The rooms are clean and eclectic.

IrelandNothing, everything was great. As staff were often busy it might be an idea to introduce an honesty box in the bar so guests can serve themselves when staff aren't around.
I really enjoyed the personal service and the fact that the whole vibe was very friendly and the business family run. The shared dining experience made it interesting as we got to speak to other guests which we might not do in a larger hotel. The food was tasty (especially the pumpkin balls :-) ). We were also given lots of lovely wines and ports. Miguel explained everything and was very personable.

Can’t forget to mention - THE DINNERS were such a wholesome experience. Sharing the table with other guests, eating delicious homemade food and drinking their wines were the cherry on top of the cake. Highly recommend and we will be back.

We had the most amazing stay at Casa Cimeira! Miguel was a very welcoming host and made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast and evening meal of locally produced food was delicious. We also tasted lots of high quality port and wine produced here. The views of the Duoro valley were incredible from the guest house and we enjoyed some nice walks around the village and vineyards. The pool area was very relaxing and we enjoyed some glasses of sparking rose that Miguel recommended to us! The rooms were very spacious and clean with spectacular views of the valley. We would highly recommend Casa Cimeira for anyone visiting this region. Thanks Miguel for a phenomenal stay. Emma, Olive, Brid and Mary (Ireland)
