How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Location is a little bit out with limited food and drink options local, but Ubers are cheap enough and the Met not too far of a walk.
The staff were incredibly helpful with a map of places to see and recommended places to eat. Breakfast was lovely too. Overall standard of the property and service was brilliant.

The deodorizing “ signature” diffusers were very strong and overwhelming in lobby and hallway for someone like me ehi has allergies and us sensitive to odors.
Outstanding service! From the front desk people to the breakfast servers everyone went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Can’t say enough great things about the staff! Location was quiet in a residential area one block from a grocery store. Was a bit removed from city center but can take metro or taxi. After a day of being with hordes of people we really appreciated the calm and quiet of this hotel. Was lovely to have after noon snacks always available when we returned.

Location. It was about a 35 minute walk to get to the center, however it’s an easy flat walk so do-able, just not scenic. Ubers cost us around $11.50 to get to the center of town in the morning. From the center back we got it as cheap as $5.50 around 7:30 pm. Depends on the time of night.
Everything! The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The gym was top notch. Lots of sitting areas, large room and great breakfast.

I was very satisfied with my stay here. There's nothing I would change however, Maybe if there was more variety at breakfast or ability to buy dinner this would improve the experience.
It's a unique hotel/experience overall I'd say and I enjoyed my stay there. Staff really friendly. New hotel, room is cosy and clean with TV, radio/speaker, fridge and complimentary water and coffee inside. Pool is small / intimate, well equipped, new gym area (24hr access to the gym, Matrix kit), paddle court and yoga, I didn't take advantage of but they look fun. Complimentary snacks available in the lounge area which is a nice touch from the hotel and sets it apart, there's a €1 nespresso coffee machine available to use 24/7 too. Breakfast was good to get you fuelled for the day. Its north of the centre of Porto with a more local feel - close to enough to a convenience store, supermarket, few restaurants and easy to get public transport 10min walk from the metro and coach / bus stations.

I liked everything but if I were only staying in Porto for a couple days I would probably pick an accommodation a little closer to the center just for convenience.
We were staying for 10 days so we didn't want to be too much in the city center as we were also there for a relaxing trip. We didn't mind walking to the center in the mornings or where we were going that day but we often took an Uber back to the hotel in the evenings after a long day of walking. The breakfast was excellent, they have a buffet as well as taking your order for eggs, bacon, pancakes etc. Its a small hotel so the staff can tend to their guests very well. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. The room itself was very clean and spacious, there was so much storage space. Loved it!
