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 StatesNot a single thing was wrong.
This room was by far not just our favorite of our vacation but one of our favorite hotels we have ever stayed in. Extremely posh without being snooty a very difficult thing for a hotel to achieve. Everything was excellent. My husband said he wanted to live in that room.

PortugalThe hotel is full of details, connecting it's history and relationship with the great writer Eça de Queiroz and the hotel guests. From the hotel decoration, the small room near the lobby, to the welcome note or event the good evening one. Every detail builds a story and you as a guest feel part of it.

CanadaAbsolutely nothing to dislike.
Beatiful boutique hotel with interior design that is elevated to the form of art you can't stop appreciating. Located in the center of Aveiro close to absolutely everything. Staff is simply amazing, service is perfected to the level of detail I have not experienced anywhere in the world and we travel a lot. Spa with saunas and pool was great to use on the rainly days in March. Breakfast was great with selection of fresh local produce and nights were finished off daily with poetic notes left in our room from the staff always coupled with Aveiro special deserts.

AustraliaParking it tight in a Aveiro - we had to surrender our car key for valet parking at a cost of 24 euro per night - no choice. Also, my husband is a technologies geek and chrome caste did not work …. Not a user error - it just simply did not work.
Exceptional facilities, beautiful comfortable rooms, friendly helpful staff and incredible bar service and great food at the restaurant and breakfast buffet. The indoor swimming pool was brilliant, likewise the gym, jacuzzi and sensory shower. Staff were knowledgeable about the history of the hotel and proud to present it to us on arrival . Our stay was absolutely amazing. Thank you to everyone.

South AfricaBar & restaurant service not as fast as one would expect from a 5-star venue. Not bad, just not what you'd expect. Staff is super friendly though.
Great location in the heart of Aveiro. Walking distance from all Aveiro's must-see spots. Hotel is truly 5 star in terms of amenities and luxury. Check-in & out was a breeze. Valet service for your vehicle is a great addition (be aware that there is a fee for parking). Breakfast is, as advertised, superb.

I do travel a lot and love to try out different hotels, many being excellent and some not so. However I usually don´t bother writing a review even though well deserved, apart from now. This hotel was incredible, rooms, facility, staff, service, spa area, restaurant, location and the list keeps on. Just exceptional in all regards.

PortugalThe only negative point I would raise is the price of the car park. We weren't informed that it has a cost, and we paid 25 EUR for less then 24 hours parking.
The Hotel is amazing! We stayed one night, and I chose it to propose to my future wife (And I thank to Hotel staff for their kindness and support on this behalf). The Hotel is cozy and is inspired in Eça de Queiróz, one of the main writers of Portuguese literature (also a journalist and a lawyer). The room given to us was extremely comfortable and had all the amenities for an Hotel of this category. It has one of the most beautiful spas I have ever been. From the interior pool, lying beneath the exterior pool, you have a panoramic view of the same, allowing a lot of light to come into it. Another good surprise was the beakfast, whose quality exceeded our best expectations. The staff was extremely willingful and commited on the quality of our stay, which we appreciated.

United StatesRooms on the first floor number 3 4 and 5 are in fronf of staff door, public toilets and is the hallway towards the restaurant. I requested a bottle of porto of 250ml the same brand of a 750ml at any store was €12. The hotel charge for the 250ml €40. Absolutely shameless the markup. Room service is always more expensive but 400% markup is a rip off. I have stayed in SLH hotels before and this is not up to par to others.
