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.).

I can’t praise the beautiful hotel highly enough. Alberto and his wonderful staff made our trip a truly fantastic one. Before we even arrived the communication was great and made us feel right at home. The hotel is stunning and the pool an absolute sun trap. We cannot wait to return to this hotel as it was one of the best weekends we have all had for a long time. Thank you Alberto and team!

BelgiumReally nothing at all!
The stay was in a word fantastic. The hosts were super friendly and gave us tips on great adresses we would never have got to otherwise. The Maison was great; the room and the little garden with pool that was perfect for relaxing. The accommodation was 15 minutes' walk from the river but nearby there were more than enough interesting places to have breakfast and dinner. It was also not far from the not so touristy art district so if you are into art and antiques, this is a very nice base.

DenmarkThe hosts Susana and Alberto were amazing. They were so welcoming and friendly and made you feel like home. Always helpful and ready to assist you with whatever you needed help with. The room was really cute, nicely decorated and with a lovely view to the garden. The atmosphere and the interior on the hotel was just up my alley. I’m so happy that I found this little gem and if I ever come back to Porto I will definitely stay at Maison Cabral again. My highest recommendations.

United StatesThis is nitpicky, since I think our room may have been an exception: The glass-enclosed bathroom offered little privacy, when one person was making coffee or going to the door, there was zero privacy on that side. Doubtful anything can be done about that, and we were glad to at least have an en suite room, as some other places we've stayed have not.
The staff was so welcoming and kind. Alberto was exceptionally helpful, coordinating the parking, and providing a map and explaining where to eat and what to see in Porto. He was so enthusiastic we immediately decided we would need an extra night in Porto, and thankfully, he reserved our room for a third night. He went to work on his contacts to set up a Douro Valley wine tour for us on our second day, which was excellent! The room, though small, was nice, the balcony overlooking the pool was a huge plus, and the pool area was very nice, too. The beds and especially the pillows were very comfortable and we slept very well!

United StatesCentrally located and easy to walk to good restaurants and downtown area. Our hosts, Susana, Alberto, and Michael were wonderful and so helpful with anything we needed from helping buy tickets to events to finding the best places to eat. The room was perfect with a comfortable bed, private patio in back and nice efficiency kitchen where we were able to enjoy our coffee and snacks. We highly recommend Maison Cabral as the perfect home away from home while in Porto.

FranceThis is a boutique hotel in an old, beautifully restored house. As such, there is no elevator so it is necessary to be able to do stairs except for only one ground floor room.
The staff and owner were extremely helpful before and during the stay. The garden was a nice place to relax and the bar area stocked with snacks and beverages was extremely helpful. The location is very handy for getting to/from the airport.

GermanyAll the other good reviews were true: You will be welcomed with open arms by the always friendly and helping owners Susana, Alberto and Michel, who will instantly make you feel at home away from home. The mansion is a beautifully renovated and tasteful decorated town house with all the amenities you need for a city trip. It even has a pool in the beautiful backyard to relax after long hours of sightseeing. The location is great too, close to a metro that brings you easily to the train stations or airport, and with great restaurants, shops and bars near by. It is close to the all the main attractions too, but away enough to get a glimpse of the non touristic Porto. We can warmly recommend this beautiful place to everyone and surely will come back soon! Thank you Susanna and Alberto for ending our trip on such a sweet note, Tina and Lennard ☀️

United StatesThe folks at Maison Cabral were incredibly friendly and attentive. Susana helped me book dinner reservations - one of the best meals I had on the trip - and an intimate wine tour which was a highlight of the trip as well. The location is great - not too close to the loud touristy areas, and an easy walk to anywhere I wanted to visit. The room is really cute, maintaining the old architecture but with a modern, clean feel. The views of the courtyard with a pool are dreamy. Would definitely stay here again if I came to Porto.
