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.).

Such a beautiful place to stay full of character and old world charm. We were greeted so warmly and provided a great overview of what to do in Porto. The room was stunning with high ceilings and a lovely sitting area. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend.

Beautifully renovated townhouse, truly amazing. No wonder that it received a prize for it. It was only when I asked the host about the origin of the name ‘house of the architect’ that I was told this is a family house of one of the most revered Portuguese architect and of worldwide fame. The location is fantastic - in the city centre with ‘parque das virtudes’ nearby and the river Douro. Continental breakfast, included in the price, was superb. Andressa is a super host, very helpful.

She recommended a lot of places to eat and explore and every single one of her recommendations were excellent! She marked up a map for us, which was so helpful when navigating around Porto.

It was a joy to return to our beautiful, light-filled room each day after sightseeing. The combination of contemporary furniture and historic architectural details was lovely. It also had great amenities and the breakfasts were tasty and generous. It was also a great location for visiting other sites and restaurants. I would highly recommend staying at Casa do Arquiteto!

GermanyHad my diffuculty with the shower - i'm sure the issue is resolved by now. The room I stayed in is next to the entrance and it does get rather loud when people enter the building. I don't recommend booking that room for light sleepers (it is rather annoying tbh).
Everything was exceptional. Am recommending the place to everyone who is planing on going to Porto. Finally a Hotel with a real historic touch!

Beautifully restored townhouse, with a huge room, comfortable bed, coffee machine, a mini fridge with free soft drinks, architecture monographs in the room and a huge TV. Great breakfast, with fresh cooked eggs, bacon. Access to a little garden with evening sun. Friendly and helpful staff. Useful app with info about restaurants etc. Close to a delightful public park with peacocks, and to one of the two tourist trams.

SpainAlthough the location is only a ten to fifteen minute walk to most places of interest, it did feel a bit “out of the way”, but worth it for the way we were looked after.
Every detail that makes a stay more enjoyable has been thought about and provided for by the amazing Daniela, who owns and runs the house.

Fabulous, helpful staff member at every stage of our stay... Before we got there and until we left. We were given a comprehensive and clear overview of the area, what we could see and how best to get there. The facilities in our room were well thought out. It was lovely, clean and very comfortable. Good selection of drinks topped up every day. Plenty of nice clean towels and daily housekeeping was good. Tram right outside the door and excellent bus links. Easy to walk everywhere too.
