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 KingdomNothing really but be aware it was a small room & the sink & bathroom facilities, whilst good (good shower) do not have windows & are essentially in cupboards. But that wouldn't put me off!
We loved staying there. It was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated & in a good location. Staff were friendly. We especially liked the communal areas - big fridge, kettle, plates, cutlery etc. We were on bikes & there was space to lock them up immediately inside the front door though not really space if more than two. Our room had french windows onto a small internal courtyard with a table. It was quiet.

AustraliaThe parking is not guaranteed as it's about 100 meter away in a public carpark so it depends on how busy it is when you need one.
Really close to the centre, the property set up is beautiful and carefully thought through. All deco just show the attention to details to make it a very lovely stay for the guests. The host is very communicative and responds to everything rightaway. Highly recommend.

United StatesWifi connection was terrible, even in the common area. Had good cell coverage on our phones, fortunately. The little terrace was covered in pigeon stuff after it rained since they roost on the roof above but it was offset by watching them flock down to the street & back.
Linens were lovely and room was thoughtfully decorated. Enjoyed watching the world go by from our window overlooking the street.

PortugalI'd recommend they would change the curtains, which are a bit thin and let the light in. Not adequate for people with mobility issues, as there is no lift.
The location is great: right in the middle of town and very close to the place where you get the boat to Tavira island. There's also a supermarket and a pizza place next door. The room was quite big and very comfortable. The window overlooked the street but it wasn't noisy at night. Clean and modern bathroom and the staff was more than happy to help whenever needed.

NetherlandsDue to the absence of a reception their was no one to get in touch with quickly in case of any question (for instance for extra toilet paper). Also when checking in the room wasn’t ready yet, the information regarding the parking in the area (it’s not for free in the street) could have been a little clearer plus the kitchen could have been stocked a bit better by adding some bowls for cereal in the morning.
The location was good and the room and common areas are nicely decorated. I would recommend the place, I do however have some suggestions for the hotel to improve its services.

ItalyThe room we stayed in is rather small. It has two French windows, both of which open onto an internal patio, which is small and has high walls. This makes the room warm as, although the windows are open, not much air circulates in the room. There is, however, air conditioning, for those who like it. Another room also has access to the inner patio, which results in little privacy. In summary, I would recommend it for short stays.
The décor of the facility is well cared for in every detail with a very pleasant vintage style. Bed is confortable. Excellent cleanliness. Great location. Silent room.

United KingdomGreat location in the middle of Tavira which was surprisingly quiet at night. Easy walk to local restaurants and sights. Bonus of nearby free parking - we parked our car there for the entirety of our two night stay. Our room was spotlessly clean with a nice bathroom and a balcony. Great to have use of the shared kitchen to get our own breakfast (small supermarket next door) and the nice outside terrace and patio area. Staff (rather than owners) were there to greet us on arrival.
