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.).

EstoniaThe bed mattress probably could be renewed at some point, as there is a some wear on it, however it did not detract from the sleep quality for us at all. You are required to have a car to stay at the property.
You might be reading this and thinking - 10/10, too good to be true right? Maybe there is a catch? There isn't one. It is just that good. If there is availability on your dates stop wasting time looking and just book this now. For the price of a hotel on the coast you get a whole guest house with a maximum of 4 guests at any given time, your own pool and a wonderful garden. In our case there was no other booking for most of the time we stayed, so we had the entire property to ourselves. It is nice and quiet, everything is well insulated against sound as well. The water pressure is great, the hot water never runs out, the place is spotlessly clean etc. The place is great regardless if you just want to chill by the pool or use it as a base to explore Sintra, Queluz and Lisbon. It is situated right in the middle of the former three placing most of the sightseeing just a short trip away. The host (Ricardo) deserves a special mention - he caters to your every whim. Because he is completely dedicated to making your stay enjoyable there are often little things he notices and does before you even have to ask. Nothing beats personal service: attention to detail immeasurably better than any large hotel, while the quality of the facilities exceeds most of them by far. He pours his heart and soul into this and it shows - every little detail is just right.

United KingdomMy only problem is with how far this place is!
Well, where can I start with this?! The property is stunning, I am sure you have seen the photos - but the host Ricardo takes the experience to another level. He was very accomodating and exceptionally attentive, without lurking around or anything like that. I booked this stay for my birthday and i knew it was going to be amazing, but i still wasnt ready! when i stepped through the gates, I was honestly taken aback and was glad to have a sit down and a drink to take it all in! Ricardo was very efficient upon arrival. He gave me my key, showed me around the entire property and then left me to my own devices This is Ricardo's family property, and they stay on the other side that you would be staying in. The whole time i was there I think i came across the family dog Brenda more than I did Ricardo! Despite it being such a beautiful property, the hosts are not hovering or checking up on you. I felt like I was at home and had my own privacy. I cannot find a single fault with this stay in all honesty. Nothing was too much for Ricardo, and the surpises were endless! Despite this stay being a little over my usual budget, I have already made the intention to return in the future! if you are on the fence, get off and make the booking! It is so worth it, i promise

This was a marvellous choice. The property exceeded all our expectations and we enjoyed a thoroughly personal service from the owner, Ricardo, who takes special care in providing attention to every detail, so that guests feel comfortable, well looked after and perfectly at home. The property is spotlessly clean, and the service is equivalent to a 5* hotel. We would thoroughly recommend it to everyone.

From where to start? The property is amazing. The pool, the gardens, the terrace, the room, everything was amazing and well decorated and also sparkling clean. The host, Ricardo, is an amazing person. He welcomed us with a bottle of rose wine on property’s amazing terrace. He offered us treats every night.We didn’t saw someone more carefully, perfectionist and attention at details person. He is such a kind man, he takes care of your stay to be perfect. Also, the breakfast prepared by Ricardo was perfect, tasty and colorful with a lovely plating. He also has great wines so you can enjoy an evening on the terrace. Thank you, Ricardo!🙏

The host attention is superb only overcome by his respect about your privacy to enjoy freely the property. breakfast: the quality and quantity will fuel your day The place and the facilities speak by themselves when you take a look at the photos: heaven surrounded by paradise. But you will really appreciate what we mean, once you get there and you are be able to feel the calm and the exclusiveness by yourself. very convenient spot to visit Lisbon, Sintra, Obidos and so on. Far away from the traffic and noise but close enough to get the capital in just 15-20min by car.

Quinta Das Pedras is a wonderful place to stay, Ricardo has created something very special and unique. He has beautifully renovated the property to a high standard and thought of literately everything from the design, the grounds right through to high end touches. There are only two rooms which creates a hugely personalised experience. It was wonderful.

United KingdomOnly downside is the location - there is not much in Belas so, make sure you get dinner before you return. That being said, it is a very central location if you want a base to explore the greater Lisbon area - 20 mins from Sintra, 30 from Mafra, Estonia and Cascais.
So, much to like! Small, only two rooms, but perfectly formed. The grounds are beautiful with contemplative gardens, and the pools. Rooms are well appointed, spacious with super comfortable beds. There is a common area for use by guests, with couches, TV, coffee, tea, that you can use at any time. Breakfast is a good continental breakfast. But, what makes it special is all the little extras - wine on your arrival, little snacks in your room each night, Port and Chocolates in the common room in the evening. The service was amazing - the 1st day I mentioned I didn't eat cow's milk, the next day at breakfast there was sheep and goats milk cheese for me. That's just one example of great service we received throughout. An excellent place to stay!

United StatesNothing. I wish we could have stayed longer. :)
We loved everything about our stay! The rooms, the outdoor areas, the house, the gardens, breakfast, Ricardo! I understand why the property receives a '10'. Everything was perfect. Ricardo was great even before our arrival with his communication. It was an incredible balance of feeling like you had the place to yourselves, but Ricardo also being available if you needed anything. He even helped make dinner reservations for us. I already knew before we arrived that I was going to want to stay longer - one night was too short. Everything was such a treat. Ricardo's welcome, the tour of the place, the breakfast (everything was delicious - oh, I already mentioned breakfast haha). The rooms had everything you needed - well thought out outlets and lights, hairdryer, closet, fridge, etc. We used this place as a home base for visiting Sintra's palaces, and it was convenient with our car. We felt so lucky to enjoy coffee and walk the grounds in the morning while listening to birds chirping. Ricardo went above and beyond, and we are so glad that he and his family decided to share their home with travelers. I want to keep this place a secret but everyone should experience Quinta das Pedras.
