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.).

The location involved a steep gradient walk - that was probably the only snag. Otherwise it was decently signposted. Breakfast was satisfying ( I loved the fresh oranges juicing them ), the space overall was good, the mattress was fine although my power socket ( bed 10 room 1 ) was unusually placed and a little loose but worked. The place was very clean and felt much like a home. Bruno, Joana & Rosa made it all welcoming for - Joana taught me to use the kitchen stuff properly, I made a pot of steamed rice 😃 🌾 🍲, Rosa met me in the morning once I picked up my key from somewhere upon advancing my ID as I was arriving around 1:30am 😀 when nobody was around & Bruno let me stay for a while after checking out and called a cab to the Guimarães railway station ( €1.60 call fee & €4 for the distance & time ) - I headed towards Aveiro using my CP 72hr Tourist Card for Urban trains Urbanos. The Restaurant Penguin / 🇵🇹 Ristaurante Pinguim was right opposite where I could see it from the hostel's TV / Computer room desks and a good POI for GPS & cabs in order to find the place. Pictures uploaded to assist others in making up their minds ...

PortugalThe basement felt slightly damp due to the humidity. That is not the fault of the host, as it has been very rainy - and they did supply a dehumidifier. Just something to be aware of for people who are sensitive to things like that!
The host/staff was wonderful - so knowledgeable about the area and lovely to chat with. Breakfast was simple but delicious and very convenient to have on-site. We loved that our dog could join us as well. The space we stayed in was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Overall, a truly lovely stay and we will definitely be returning!

AustraliaGreat stay! Joana was super friendly, she gave us good tips on the city tourist attractions. Our bedroom was super clean and spacious, quiet night. The common areas have everything you need, very spacious. And a nice breakfast to start the day ! Definitely a good place to stay, we know where to go if we come back.

United StatesWe wish the room would have had more comfortable pillows and 2 chairs (one could even be a folding one), since there were 2 of us. When more than one set of guests are using common areas, there is always risk of issues with cleanliness. It was very difficult to find parking and acquire a space. A sign would've helped.
I loved the breakfast foods offered and big kitchen space. Joanna was very helpful, friendly and spoke at least 3 languages.

Warm and informative welcome. The property has different spaces, kitchen, garden, lounge. Not too far from town, but far enough away to avoid some of the noise of the centre (except the week the town celebrates its patron Saint, then no where is quiet!).

Hong KongThe bed is a bit too soft for me.
This husband-and-wife-run accommodation just feels like home, with spacious living space and kitchen free to use. They sent clear pre check-in instructions in advance and were responsive with messages, and gave detailed information of the sightseeing without prompt at check-in. Cleanliness is spotless. Breakfast is basic but plentiful.

PortugalThe plumbing was a bit odd - the sink in the studio kitchenette dripped onto the floor and the tap made water explode everywhere! Also, the shower fittings were falling off the shower wall. But, I guess we still just really like the hostel even with this.
We stayed in the studio for 5 days at Easter. We liked that it was open-plan and had private access and faciliites. We really loved the garden area (and so did our dog). The breakfasts were good and the hostel felt like a home stay, really cosy and we had access to the entire kitchen and dining area. Our kid loved the bunk bed in the studio also. The location to town was brilliant - close to everything and all the major sites. The hostel is so comfortable, the staff are great, and it felt like we were visiting good friends. The atmosphere also made it easy to meet the other guests. Just a lovely place!

One of the best place I’ve ever stayed. The room was spacious and the beds were great and comfortable. A great place for families as well. It’s very close to the center as well.
