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.).

PortugalThere appears to be a management issue with this beautiful property. Stained carpets in the sitting areas/ bar, as well as in hallways, some sofas in the common areas appear to be quite worn, some outdoor chairs are unraveling. These are all issues that can be fixed adult and without spending a lot of money. The place has such an upscale feel to it, and should be managed as such.
The hotel is in a converted convent with some modern additions. The rural setting is magical, and the hotel is magnificent. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with equally spacious bathrooms. The spa, indoor pool, outdoor pool, the courtyards and the gardens are all beautiful.

IcelandThere was a dog that barked constantly all night long not to far from our room 108 (but outside the pousada of course). That really disturbed our sleep and didn't not at all match the tranquility of the daytime and area. The bed was painfully hard to sleep on. We stayed in a hotel in Serpa the night before and compared to the breakfast we got there and being a Pestana hotel we felt the breakfast was nothing special (bacon hard as a biscuit and not tasty either), no toaster, coffee machine didn't make proper café etc...
Absolutely wonderful pousada and surroundings. The chapel took our breath away. Lovely and friendly staff. Stunning views from the pool and breakfast area. Quiet and relaxing stay. Welcoming water, fruit and chocolate was a wonderful touch!

Portugalover crowded pool area with no staff control. Guests leave their towels and belongings on the reclining chairs all day and don’t give other guests the opportunity to use them. Staff or hotel policy can have better management of implementing rules for all guests to have the chance to use the pool area.

PortugalNo reply to email sent two days before check in requesting the spa schedule and prices. Difficult to find sauna due to bad signalling. The sauna was switched off in spite of previous booking. No shower in sauna room. The water in internal pool is cold. At the first breafast instead of a smile we were welcomed with a disapointed look from the waitress. Defficient refill of buffet. The dishes were wet and not properly cleaned.
Good location, nice surrounding area.

Portugalneeding a bit of maintenance. room smelled of mould in spite of their effort to “burn” it by leaving the air conditioning at 30 degrees. fortunately the good weather allowed us to open the windows. it also seems like they are cutting down on staff, who were great but don’t seem to be enough for the scale of the hotel.

CanadaThe reception were not checking vaccine certifications, unlike anywhere i visited on the whole trip. That seemed disrespectful of the staff to allow them to be exposed in such a manner, and of course those of us who were vaccinated and want the assurance that everyone was. We did not get that assurance.
Breakfast was outstanding dinner less so. I ordered lamb and some breaded dry thing was served to me that was not at all tasty. The next night was better. Our room was beautiful including the view. The actual building is a wonderful restoration. I have been before in the spring for lunch.

MaltaVery dated and the photographs of the rooms are old and not up to date. Breakfast was meant to start at 8, the chef reluctantly unlocked the door at 8:30, but only finished putting the breakfast out after 9:00. There were no napkins, we had to ask for one which the chef then offered us a paper one out of a plastic bag.
