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.).

CanadaLoved the property but the I would change the gravel pathways- was difficult to roll suitcase.
Location was very central, in the beautiful art district of Cedofeita- very good restaurants, shopping and a short 15-20 minute walk takes you to the Centro and down to the Rebiero. The hotel itself was a beautifully restored building. The staff were exceptionally helpful.

United KingdomBreakfast was great! Lots of choice and very pleasant. Lovely hotel, quiet, extremely well maintained and clean, room was just, lovely. Staff were very welcoming and efficient. Whilst the hotel was approximately 15 minutes from the hub of Porto, this proved an added bonus for us for good walking distance and extremely quiet!

United StatesNothing to dislike.
The room was lovely, clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable. I had a little patio area to sit and relax. When you came back to your room in the evening, there was always a sweet treat waiting for you. They offered a lovely breakfast, with enough different food items to please everyone. All of the staff throughout the hotel was amazing. I couldn't ask for a more wonderful stay. The hotel itself was beautiful. If I decided to come to Porto again, without hesitation I would choose this place first,

IrelandPerhaps our own inability to work it, but the TV would not connect to the internet!! Did we miss keeping up with wars and negative news? Not at all. But at the same time there may be a blip here to overcome?
Breakfast was a real treat, sitting in a Versailles-like dining room. Delicious food and relaxed atmosphere. A great start to each day. Location of hotel was ideal. Far enough away from the busiest streets so that we heard no traffic., yet near enough to be able to walk to the sights.

United KingdomReally struggle to find anything we didn't like.
Food was amazing - fresh, tasty, beautifully presented. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved the way that the building has been renovated - it's stunning. Loved the subtle scents in the building and toiletries. Liked the fact that it's a little away from the city centre so that we got to see more of the city.

United StatesThere was a nice outside seating area but no other inside common area to relax - my husband is an early riser and breakfast does not start until 7.
The breakfast was wonderful. I just wish they offered evening dining services. Rooms were so quiet thanks to thick solid walls. No slamming doors or hearing those around you. Location was very good and for the money this was a true value. If you like a gym while you travel this one was pretty good.

The place is really beautiful and well-maintained. The rooms are very clean and beds very comfortable. The stuff is helpful and polite. We also like the breakfast and the whole dining area resembles a palace.

United KingdomThe inside and outside areas of the hotel were spotlessly clean and beautifully designed. The staff were very helpful, even coming out to meet us to offer an umbrella on a rainy day! The room was comfortable and we appreciated being able to adjust the temperature. The breakfast was delicious with a good range of different foods available - fresh fruit, honey comb, yoghurt, pastries, cheese and cold meats, as well as cooked breakfast. We ate in the hotel restaurant one evening and the food was outstanding. We didn’t use the fitness centre, but we did use the sauna which was excellent. The location is very convenient for sightseeing, in walking distance of parks, museums and the cathedral.

United KingdomVery kind people, there were umbrellas on the reception which were handy for the time i visited Porto. Every inch of the property is extremely clean, including the rooms, reception area, outdoors, corridors, bar area, restaurant. The patio is perfect for an afternoon drink. All the tile work near the reception was cherry on top. The key card did not deactivate even once in 4 days, which is very uncommon with smart keys these days because of contact with mobile phone. They had very nice coffee table books in the common area. Sanitaryware, sheets quality, housekeeping of the room was very good quality. I absolutely loved my stay here.

IsraelThe cold pool but it was a small matter. It is outdoors and would be difficult to heat. Overall - douze points!
The manageress Barbara and all of her staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and kind. They helped us at all junctures and answered all questions and did their best to explain, give directions and solve problems. Seriously, one of the best places I have ever stayed. They only issue I had was that the breakfast menu did not vary, but there was plenty of options and different foods to allow a guest to vary their own menu. The only other thing that I would have asked for was to have a heated pool as the water was very cold and not suitable for swimming, The palace grounds are exquisite with a dining room like something out of Versailles, with tiled walls in blue (typical of Porto). At night there is a guard at the entrance which gives a sense of security as the neighbourhood has quite a few abandoned buildings, as does much of downtown Porto. The hotel is an exquisite corner out of time and just three blocks from the metro station and lots of great restaurants just down the street. The dinner at the hotel was also excellent, and one felt that it was a special chef who cooked there. The staff of the dining room were also exceptionally nice, pleasant, helpful and attentive. A true gem in the world of hotels and hospitality.
