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.).

PolandIt is actually impossible to resign from the cleaning service so even if you want to stay in bed with a migraine,, you’d still be bothered by the staff, also it was very cold inside, heating with the AC didn’t help and was loud

United KingdomBooked specifically as it said it had a bar and coffee shop but neither open. Asked Reception and told bar person was ill but previous reviews in February and March say the same. Would prefer accurate listing of facilities available when booking.
Great location near to the waterfront cafes, restaurants and ferries. Good breakfast.

United StatesNothing really, would happily stay there again! One thing to note, which is not the hotel's fault is that every so often you might hear motorcycle noise. But overall the windows were pretty good in reducing street noise. Ear plugs might be helpful if you need to have total silence at night.
There are so many hotels in Porto and we couldn't decide where to stay. But I'm so glad we picked ICON. It's close to the riverfront yet away from crowds and street noise. It's maybe an 8 minute walk from the Sao Bento train station (depending on whether you're walking up or down the hill and whether you have luggage). We stayed in a Custom room and appreciated the modern decor. I loved the scents of the bathroom amenities. Breakfast was lovely, with hot food options that you don't typically get with hotel breakfasts.

CanadaAs it was pre summer, the room air conditioning was not operating.. opening the window cooled the room but also allowed noise to enter.
Beautiful property with caring staff and very good service. Breakfast was outstanding. The decoration of the room and public areas was great. Everything interesting about Porto is nearby.

United KingdomThere was not much going on in the evening, so basically you had to go out for a drink or to eat. The tv in the room didn’t have much worth watching and did not connect to the internet. But these are minor things.
Helpful and friendly Staff, the room and hotel location were great. Good breakfasts.

United StatesThe hotel is perfectly located. You are able to walk to the shops, see a Fado show across the street, walk down to the river and have a wonderful selection of restaurants on the street or within walking distance. My travel companion and I walked to everything even the Sao Bento train station which is about 7 minutes away. My room was modern industrial. There was ample light, nice local products in the bathroom, a nice thoughtful selection of grooming items as well in the bathroom and a comfortable bed. I also loved the branded towels. Housekeeping always left my room organized and clean. There were also treats left and water. Even though my room faced the street, it was not noisy and I was able to sleep well each night. There wasn't a lot of variety on the television, but I was able to find a few English speaking shows and even old episodes of Dallas, which was a treat. The breakfast buffet had a wonderful variety of fruits, meats, pastries, and juices. I tried something new each morning. The staff in the restaurant was always welcoming. Check in was organized and we were given a short information session about breakfast times and how to access our rooms. The hotel always smelled lovely each time we entered. Even though the hotel is located in the middle of a hilly street, it was manageable. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again the next time I visit Porto.
