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.).

PolandI wish breakfasts could be earlier, but not a big problem.
It was my 3rd stay at Origami, and not the last one. Perfect location - rights by metro station, walking distance to Jardim do Morro, cafes and restaurants, quiet neighbourhood. Very good breakfasts are a great bonus. Spacious room, comfortable bed, nice bathroom, all clean. Very nice host 🙂 I'll be back!

United StatesIts was a little difficult to find as the signage is very snall. Google maps is accurate, you just need to walk up to the entry door and read the small addresses and ring the buzzer. They will let you in and direct you to the apartment.
Very nice place that's warm and accommodating. A very nice breakfast is included.

United StatesMy room faced the street and metro line so it was a bit noisy. A room not facing the street would be quieter.
Convenient to the metro, exceptionally clean. Good sized room with a small balcony. Fresh fruit at breakfast. An easy downhill walk to Porto.

BelarusRecently stayed at this hotel and had an amazing experience! The atmosphere is super chill, perfect for meeting fellow travelers. The breakfast is delicious and filling, a great way to start the day. What makes this place stand out is the owner. Always up for a chat and ready to guide you to the best spots in the city. His local insights made my stay memorable. Can't wait to come back, highly recommend this place!

BelgiumThe parking arrangements could have been better, I had to park in a weird spot the first night, and the garage could have been cleaner. It would also have been nice to not have to carry so many keys around.
Room was spacious and clean. The manager was very kind and helpful. I got a free upgrade with a private bathroom which was very nice. Parking was very affordable. The location was great, just a 20 minute walk to the center.

United StatesThe accommodations where exactly as listed. This is not a new place and not fancy, but it is clean and well located. If you don't mind having a bathroom separate from your bedroom, then this place is for you. The price was right. Breakfast was simple, but filling. Our host was there to help and answer all questions.

United StatesThe rooms with private bathrooms were booked, so we had to choose a shared bathroom (only 2 rooms shared it). We are returning, and booked a room with the private bath. So just select a room carefully if it matters to you.
The location and price is great. The owner is very friendly and greets/checks you in himself, and also prepares a nice breakfast. It was very clean. There is a large shared living room, etc with a balcony.

PolandI stayed at Origami for the second time this year and it was again a very nice experience. The nicest thing - and a surprise - was that the host remembered me and gave me the same room as in May, what made me feel almost like home. The room itself is spacious and bright, with big and comfortable bed. Private bathroom is outside the room, but very clean, with big shower, toiletries and hair dryer. Breakfasts are included in the price and they're a great advantage, as you don't have to waste time for preparing them yourself. The food is fresh and tasty and you can arrange time of breakfast according to your needs. Hostel is located right by the metro station, 10 minutes walking from Jardim do Morro, with many cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood. Definitely I'll be back! 🙂
