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.).

CanadaOnly at night, noise of a couple of late night drunk loud people in the vicinity, but not in the apartment building. But this may be the case in most tourist locations.
Close to all the tourist spots, at the side of Louis Bridge and behind Porto Cathedral, next to restaurants, safe for families. Very clean.

United StatesSuper cute apartment, great location, the whole building gives a vibe of being local. It was immaculately clean and overall very pleasant. The apartment is located right across from the Porto Cathedral, so just a note that you will see tourists visiting the cathedral who may be gazing at the building and your windows will be facing them. It didn’t bother us at all, it’s was kinda funny and again added a sense of staying among the locals, plus you have curtains and shutters that give you privacy.

FranceThe advert states that there are two bathrooms but in reality we had one bathroom with a toilet and a separate toilet. On arrival, there was water on the kitchen floor which I notified the owner about. Apparently it was as a result of works from a neighbouring apartment.
The location is great, centralised. The apartment is old and charming. Comfortable beds. We made use of the proposed transfer service to and from the airport which was perfect. Communication with the owner by messaging was easy.

Really lifted our spirits after a long late journey. Everything was really comfortable and the kitchen had everything you needed. Would 100% recommend :)

United StatesThe location is super convenient to most of the sights in Porto and to some great restaurants. Its easy to get to on public transportation. It’s in the old medieval area of Porto, so the building has a lot of character, but is still quite comfortable.

We had the apartment on the third floor, right side. Very nice apartment in the middle of Porto. Looks the same as the pictures. Amazing view on the cathedral. Bed is good, kitchen and bathroom are all well equipped. We stayed with our toddler and she had a proper crib. Lucky with a parking spot just in front of the apartment. I would recommend. Don’t forget your walking shoes, Porto is very hilly!!

United KingdomNothing - it was perfect.
Amazing location, just a few metres from the cathedral and 5 min walk to many other key sites. Huge apartment - 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and good sized kitchen and living room. Kitchen had everything you need for self catering. Good AC. Good wifi (but owner will need to give you details). Very clean. Owner gave us details of taxi from the airport. Be aware the apartment is on the top floor so wouldn't suit those with restricted mobility but it was fine for us.

United StatesAs expected, being so close to the cathedral meant lots of noise outside the window. Unfortunately some of that came from a DJ who played music all day.
Very spacious with all the amenities. The owner was very hospitable and provided annotated maps of the city and recommendations for wine cellars for port tastings and restaurants. Beautiful views of the cathedral right outside the window.
