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.).

United StatesAbsolutely nothing. Wish we could have stayed longer.
We loved staying at this little boutique hotel in Viana do Castelo. Our room was on the third floor - yes, there is an elevator. Our room was like staying in a cozy little attic. We had french doors opening onto a small terrace with a small table and two chairs overlooking the Lima River. There is a small refrigerator in the room also. About a block away is a small supermarket where we purchased snacks and beverages to enjoy on the terrace in the afternoon. Viana do Castelo is so much fun to explore - you can walk everywhere. We rode the funicular up to the Santuario (church) de Santa Luzia - beautiful church with amazing views. A quick stroll from the church is Citiana de Santa Luzia - an Iron age settlement (ruins) inhabited from 7th century BC up to Roman times. Wandering the historical streets of Viana do Castelo is interesting with many shops and restaurants. We visited the Museu do Traje which tells the story of traditional dress of the local people in the 19th century. Be sure to tour the Gil Eannes Ship - a hospital ship that would set sail for the Ocean off Newfoundland and Greenland and support the trawlers fishing those waters for cod. There is also a chocolate museum to tour and a fort and waterfront. Nearby are also beaches - warning: the water is cold after all it is the Atlantic. Located in the hotel is a small restaurant serving lunch and dinner - we ate a delicious dinner there our first night. Breakfast in the morning at the hotel was perfect - just the right amount and variety. Another evening we dined at Restaurante Austurias - amazing food. Oh - be sure to find Adam Fine Pastry - wonderful chocolates and macarons. The staff at the hotel were so friendly and helpful. They made our stay most enjoyable. Thank you Christina, Christiana & Isabelle for your warm hospitality. We hope to return some day.

SpainNothing major, overall a charming and clean hotel. Two details fell a little bit short of expectations. We booked a room with two separate beds, but the beds were made as single bed. There was no way to have an extra set of bed linen. Some details were less well maintained than we expected.
Nicely designed small hotel. Good location, good breakfast. Friendly staff.
