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.).

GermanyI liked every detail of this stay
This place was dreamy and definitely one of the best places I’ve ever had the change to stay. The surroundings were amazingly beautiful, the house was huge, newly renovated and well decorated. We were in winter and with temperatures around 6C during the night, the cozy fireplace kept the whole place very warm. I sadly got sick during my stay and couldn’t enjoy our 3 night stay as well but the host Pedro was so helpful and offered his help for things such as bringing me medicine from the city more then once. Honestly I couldn’t ask for better host, he was more than helpful the whole time and you could just feel how much he cares for people’s well beings. Besides all that the breakfast is worth mentioning as it was incredibly fresh and delicious with most local and homemade items.

United StatesThe only thing that was lacking was that the internet connection was not strong in the bedrooms. Everything else was ideal.
Pedro made us feel welcome before we even arrived with his outstanding, and oh so helpful, driving directions and communication. The sparkling clean and spacious villa is situated on beautiful grounds overlooking the Duoro Valley. The daily breakfast was a treat that we looked forward to everyday. Wish we could have stayed longer and would definitely return.

NetherlandsNot enough time!
Everything! What an amazing time we had. Would give this property all the stars! From an amazing view and property to an even more amazing host. We had the best time here. We found ourselves torn between heading out to visit the Douro valley and staying at the villa and enjoying the farm and property. Pedro was always available to assist us with any of our requests. He has so much of knowledge and passion about the area. Just a lovely person. When looking for a driver to do wine tastings he took us by boat in the morning and fetched us from the train station in the evening. We had the most delicious breakfasts everyday, freshly made cheese and pastries from the bakery. Not enough good things to say about this place. We will definitely be back.

United StatesYou must book this place. It was truly the most magical experience. The home itself is so beautiful and pictures can hardly do it justice. The property is located on a farm with every herb you can think of all over the property just right outside your door. (perfect if you love to cook) It felt like a botanical gardens. My fiancé and I just walked around and looked at what they grew here. It was so cool seeing that! We came in May and there were roses everywhere. Lemons and oranges were abundant. I want to come back to Portugal just to stay here. I’d love to come in November when the olive trees are ready to harvest. You have to drive through the cutest Portuguese village to get here. It felt like we were in a fairytale. It’s just a good vibe. Pedro was so friendly and we loved the breakfast delivered straight to our door every morning. Thank you for the best stay! 10/10

PortugalA fantastically beautiful place. Great location, you can walk all day through the vineyards and the shore of the Douro. There's not a soul around. Complete peace of mind. Caring wonderful hosts who adore their region. Be sure to try the delicious olive oil, wine and bread. We fell in love with this place. Our cats also appreciated the walks in the yard. Many thanks to Pedro and his parents ❤️ we will definitely come again!

Our family loved staying at the Quinta Vale de Carvalho. The house was as comfortable and spacious as can be, set in a tranquil and stunningly gorgeous location. The breakfasts are amazing, the pool impeccable, and Pedro is a delightful and attentive host. If one wants to wander, charming villages and towns are to be found nearby, and it is driving distance to the Parque Arqueológico do Vale do Côa and the Parque Natural do Douro Internacional.

United StatesWe could have stayed longer :(
An absolutely unique and beautiful location in the middle of olive and orange groves! Secluded yet with all the comforts of home. The hosts go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Local wine, olive oil and port await you from the families own estate. An abundant vegetable garden supplies you with the making of traditional Portuguese dinners in the spacious and well equipped kitchen. Breakfast is freshly made and brought to your door. And the views.... definitely something to write home about!

GermanyEverything was soo perfect and nice! We will definitely come back for vacation. Very quite. Only two villas and the house of the owners on the property. Very private and so relaxing. The house has everything and is very big. We had two nice rooms for 3 persons, a gigantic living room and an incredible kitchen. Incredible views from pool and lounge areas. The owners and their son, Pedro, are very friendly people. We received fresh vegetables, so good wine and portwine and olive oil, made there. Absolutely great and delicious. I recommend cooking as the restaurants are not close, which was no problem for us. Breakfast is rich and delicious, includes local products, freshly backed. Even our loundry was done, so nicely. This is a perfect service and was even free. But should definitely be paid. We loved the little black cat, chispa. Please have in mind that the place is a bit remote, but that was exactly what made it so special. This and the really seldom friendliness of the owners who really did everything to make the stay unforgettable. This place is a real gem! We will come back! Thank you so much for everything! We will enjoy the Vine and oil and always think back positive 🤗😊 see you soon!
