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.).

PortugalA simple room with a lot of space, a great view and a just perfect breakfast to start your day. The Vila Lusitania is very well located, we could walk to some restaurants and bars. The staff was very friendly and the self check-in was very convenient. The only downside was the lack of parking, but we parked our car in the street and had no problems.

SlovakiaWe didn't have a kettle in the room, but the staff provided us with a thermos with hot water for tea.
The accommodation was located a little further from the city center, but it was quiet. There was a sea view. Our room was nice and comfortable. Breakfast was good. The staff was very kind and helpful.

NetherlandsWe had a quadruple room with few windows and they were doing renovations above us, which caused quite a bit of noise and mess. The double rooms looked nicer.
The terrace was very nice. It had a great view over the ocean. Breakfast was very good and the host was very helpfull. The guesthouse is in a nice neirbourhood with a variety of restaurants and a very good traditional bakery.

United KingdomIt was at times tricky to find parking but that is no fault of the accommodation. There were quite a few ants all over the floor and for some this may be of no issue but for the likes of me it was a bit unsettling.
The room was very clean and had a fan which was a life saver in the heat. The hostess and service in general was exceptional and made our stay that much more enjoyable

EstoniaThe room was a bit outworn. Pillows and mattresses could use a replacement.
As we had a room with the balcony, the view to the city Funchal and the ocean was great. Very nice and friendly staff. We got lots of info about the island, where to go and what to see. Lovely breakfast out on the balcony every morning. (Although the variety could have changed a bit during the week). It wasn’t too crowded since it’is a small guesthouse not big hotel, so it made us feel like home 🙂

UkraineThe doors are a bit thin, so we could hear some tipsy guests drinking on the terrace.
We chose this place because of its location and price, and it has fulfilled our expectations. The rooms were small and simple, but we didn't need much as we were hiking all the time. The breakfast was quite similar every day but good enough. There's a bus station nearby and a good terrace where we had breakfast. Some items, like a hairdryer, can be requested at the reception.

PolandThe room was clean, pretty far from the city, but still a walkable distance (i think we did it in 25-30 minutes). If you have a car, it was permitted to park on the street, and the lady at the reception informed us there is a parking up the hill (did not have to use it though). Fresh towels, fresh soaps, shower gels etc.

NetherlandsBreakfast was basic. I had a room with see view which was really nice but I woke up a various time with people talking on the terrace (which is right under the balcony). It started at 7.15 am and sometimes later at night. It was also noisy because of construction work that was going on.
Nice pool, nice room, really nice view. Friendly staff!

PortugalWe didn't like that it was at the 0 floor, almost everybody was passing near the window and we had to keep them always closed, so that we couldn't get sunlight.
