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.).

CanadaSwimming pool was not warm yet, but it was only April. Bed mattress was quite firm, which is okay if you like a harder bed.
Nicely converted old Fort overlooking the ocean. Bedroom was comfortable and clean. Beautiful views of ocean and over parts of the old city. Easy to get around and walk in town, but be ready for hills and uneven cobblestone. Staff were friendly and the buffet breakfast offered lots of variety and no shortage of food.

Front desk staff is amazing. Breakfast buffet is yummy and plentiful. Loved our room and the whole ambiance of the hotel. Also, how often will I have the chance to sleep in a 16th century fort that's also a historical landmark?

GermanyDue to the exposed location close to the sea we got a lot of wind and bad weather and couldn't open the windows. But it was October, and the hotel is not reponsible for the weather of course.
Very unique location. Great staff.

Wonderful and helpful staff, room air conditioning was great and quiet, loved the view from the room, room was cozy and clean, great look in the bathroom. Flavio and Fernanda were wonderful and welcoming. Booked here after 2 of 3 nights at another hotel were awful. Even had dinner at the restaurant which was great. Highly recommend. And loved that it was in the old fortress.

GermanyThe air-conditioning made the dining rooms where breakfast was served quite chilly in the morning. In our room (106) there was a metal knob in the floor right in front of the WC - big enough to hurt your toes.
Unique position in one of the old forts; very quiet, stunning views. Excellent breakfast with a large variety of dishes.

United StatesThere are some signs of aging: a little rust on the outdoor chairs, hall carpets getting thin.
View was fabulous; room was airy and comfortable; breakfast was excellent; location was amazing - not only picturesque but easy walking to town, marina, restaurants. Small swimming pool fit the bill, and walking the walls of the fort was something truly exceptional. We went on a boat trip with the hotel's recommended tour operator to the Goat Islands - a small but safe open boat, marvelous visit inside a cave on the island and swimming in the blue sea.

PortugalThe lounge/ bar. As a rule, Pousadas have a bar but also other common spaces where guests can relax, read or talk. In this case, there's a single space (bar/ lounge) and not comfortable for said activities. The pool is smaller than expected - but still adequate, given the (small) number of the guests that used it.
Excellent room and view. Very quiet (our major requirement). Very good breakfast. Very friendly - and helpful - staff. A very nice surprise: music only in the restaurant, well chosen, and not loud. (In the past, I've stayed in Pousadas with music in all spaces - and did complained about this in the evaluation. So this is a plus and other Pousadas should follow this example.) The WiFi worked perfectly.
