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.).

No lift in the building and room 7 was on the fourth floor.
The property was very nicely located close to the heritage bridge and river. The room we had number 7 was very comfortable and cute. The room had a balcony with a view of the river and the old convent. The bed was very comfortable and we had a very enjoyable stay in Amarante. The breakfast was very nice and the staff at the restaurant where the breakfast was served were wonderful.

Excellent location, beautiful room, amazing staff. The staff were extremely helpful, and Covelo provides a great guide to the city with all the local tips for places to eat, visit, and explore. The breakfast was delicious, and I cannot think of a better place to stay in Amarante.

We loved everything about Covelo!
Everything was perfect! From the excellent communication to the friendly, professional, and efficient check-in to the comfortable accommodation. The room is beautifully designed, modern, and spotlessly clean. The road it is located on is charming and within walking distance of the attractions and many restaurants and shops, yet it is quiet enough for a restful night's sleep. A delicious breakfast is served across the road at the Lai Lai bakery, where you can enjoy a seat on the terrace overlooking the river. We would definitely stay here again.

This was my second time staying at Covelo. It's a wonderful hotel. The staff are really helpful and friendly. I previously stayed in the heat of the summer so I was curious to experience Amarante and Covelo in February. During this wintertime stay, the room stayed warm, comfortable and cozy... It was just what we needed! Eating breakfast in the cafe across the road was a lovely start to the day. Amarante is a beautiful town and I can't wait to come back. And I would definitely stay at Covelo again!

The only issue I would imagine for those perhaps staying during cooler months would be lack of any heating in the room, but as we stayed in temps over 30C this definitely wasn't an issue! Otherwise this is a fab place to stay
The breakfast was great and offered as part of the price at the lovely cafe opposite with a balcony over the river. The staff were lovely and the location really good, right in the centre of the old part of the town and just down from the wonderful bridge and cathedral. Would suggest it is about the best location to stay, absolutely in the heart of things and within easy walk (and a paddle and a pegalo ride) of the river. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in gloriously hot sunshine.

All was great. Maybe a refill on the complementary water jug on the next day but this is me very picky.
Everything. Location, staff and facilities. Nice clean room, very well appointed and in the city centre. Was greeted by the owner and he was very focused and hospitable. Room was spotless and the inclusive breakfast served in the pastelaria just across the road, was spot on and with views to the river.
