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.).

United StatesWe stayed in May and my son and I are hot sleepers. But the AC is not functional until summer months. We slept with the balcony door open and it was completely comfortable. Not a deal breaker for us.
Comfort, location is beautiful! Community kitchen for preparing your own food. The staff are super helpful.

PortugalAn overhead light on both sides of the room would have been perfect because my side of the room did not have one. And the timers for the lights in the bathroom need to be longer so you're not constantly waving your hands when you need to be in there for more than 30 seconds.
The room, location and breakfast were all excellent

United KingdomDorms are very basic and you feel like you are in a garage with no soundproofing from any noise echoing down the corridor.. I had to use an additional quilt from an empty bed as too thin for the time of year. Hostel breakfast very basic.
Very large kitchen with six hobs,microwave,two ovens,toaster,large fridge and kettle. You can sit in bar area. Comfortable mattresses.You can walk down river on both sides.Quiet location. Shower was like standing in a warm waterfall.Only ten minute walk from bus station.

ArgentinaI didn't get wifi reception from my room. Also, you can hear pretty much everything because there are no real walls or doors, is all divided by wooden material. The rest is all good!
Great location, huge kitchen and living area, nice terrace and comfortable bed. I paid a good price for my stay and it included a small free breakfast. Great showers.

PortugalRooms are all handmade but really well done! Beds are comfortable, and you get a nice locker space for your backpack. The bathrooms are quite messy when there's a lot of guests and could really use a redo. They have the hostel bar which has a very nice balcony to the river. The hosts are very kind!

FinlandWell, the lack of sleep! There was some football team staying in the opposite dormitory, and they were super loud, starting at 11pm! Despite the guests from our dormitory telling them to be quiet, they ignored us completely. We also informed the reception staff, not once, not twice, but three times about the problem. They answered, ”We will talk to them.” But nothing at all happened. The football players just kept being really loud. I, personally, went twice to the reception, the second time already after midnight. I asked for a refund as I got no sleep at all (and I had to leave at 6am) and also for management to contact me about this issue. As I write this review, now 5 days after my stay, I have heard nothing from them. I guess ignore the problem and it will go away? Well, I told them I would write an honest review, so here it is. It’s a shame, as things started very well there, but ended in basically a wasted night’s accommodation as I got no sleep at all.
Great location, and I very much appreciate that they had a place to store my bicycle (I was on a bicycle tour), and they also let me arrive a little earlier so that I could start my siteseeing before the official check in time.

Portugal- Some guests... Although they're also guests, some people are staying in Des Arts for long since they're working in Amarante... I think some guests could be a bit aware that they should not bring their bad manners from home to a shared space dedicated for rest and leisure of others.
I like absolutely everything in the service provided by Des Arts. - Location: perfect place in the heart of Amarante, the river is close, where you can see nany fishes, hear birds singing and feel the nature. - Staff: sweet and kind people, the best part of the staying. You guys are doing a great job!! - Beds: comfortable and clean . - Rooms: medium size, clean good ventilation
