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.).

United KingdomNothing is was all fantastic.
Exceeded our expectations! Everything about our stay was wonderful! The attention to detail was fantastic, it felt like being at home (but a very beautiful, peaceful home). The property itself is stunning, combining a historical building with a beautiful recent renovation. All details are thought of. The infinity pool had panoramic views over the valley with very comfy loungers and shaded options which is appreciated! The dinner / breakfast room also has beautiful views in all directions. The styling details and decorations are clearly done with a lot of thought and there are many beautiful details to take in. I could go on but also the people working at the Quinta were so attentive and caring! You will feel welcomed and cared for during your whole stay! It really stood out to us as a beautiful part of our trip and will be very hard to match. You could stay for a couple of days or much longer also!

The hosts have a personal history with this guest house and it shows in every detail of the property. From a personalized welcome, even with a late arrival, to assistance in booking a private boat tour on the most interesting portion of the Douro River. Add to that a scrumptious and ample breakfast served in a glass enclosed dining room with an expansive view of the valley. All of this was capped off by two prix fixed dinners served in the same dining room, upfitted for a three course dinner. The wine options are vast and thoughtful. Our maitre D/waiter was graceful, charismatic and attentive. Try to take a few nights here to enjoy the essence of the Douro Valley.

Amazing hosts, who went to the extreme to ensure our stay was a memorable one. Location amazing and tranquil. Beautifully restored Manor house with exquisite taste and a lot of attention to detail. Delicious welcome drink of white port on arrival. Wonderful evening meal using local produce and wines. Lovely salt water spa pool which was originally where grapes were crushed during the wine making process. Lovely grounds, you can walk around the vineyards and visit the goats. Breakfast nothing spared, everything you would want to eat was available, nothing spared. Fantastic local cheeses, hams, cakes, fresh fruit. One of our best stays yet. We will definitely return for a longer stay. Highly recommend staying for at least 2 nights if not more.

CanadaNothing. Get the dinner as well as it is quite a drive through very narrow, twisty, and hilly roads coming and going from the Quinta. Dinner was amazing finished with one of their 30 year Tawny ports. No sacrifice whatsoever.
Beautifully restored former winery overlooking the Douro Valley. Splendidly and passionately redone by the couple who own it with get attention to detail throughout. Extremely personable, inviting and friendly. Splendid dinner with vintage wines made at the winery and food grown on the property or by local farmers. Only booked one night but wished we had stayed longer.

PortugalThere is not much or almost nothing to point out
Excellent environment, with a very interesting mystique surrounded by fantastic landscape and surrounded by vineyards All the details were carefully thought out by the owners, the entire history of the farm is represented in every corner of the house and spaces. Kindness from the owners and care and pride for each guest. They have a beautiful infinity pool, which is a pleasure to explore further. Each room has a theme and theme related to the history of the farm. Excellent cleaning and hygiene service Very well achieved architecture between past and present. Without a shadow of a doubt, an excellent experience to be repeated from now on.

CanadaAbsolutely nothing. Our stay was top notch and exceeded all expectations.
Quinta de Travassinhos is a magical place in the Douro Valley with beautiful views, outstanding ambiance and exceptional hospitality. Helena & Ricardo have painstakingly restored and renovated the property into something rare and special where modern amenities and comfort meet the beauty of a working farm and vineyard. Their kindness and attention to customer service is world class, and is matched by their knowledge of the history of the area and willingness to share the stories of their journey to create their dream. While my partner and I were there, we enjoyed morning hikes through the vineyards, daily trips to regional towns, afternoon dips in the indoor salt water spa pool, and evening dinners where our hosts and staff provided upscale-rustic regional cuisine, local wines and port, and wonderful conversation with both hosts and guests. This will be somewhere we will hopefully be able to revisit in the coming years as it truly is one of our favourites of all time!

This was the most comfortable and accommodating lodging my family has ever stayed at. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, exploring the property, swimming in the indoor pool, the gourmet meals, our beautiful room, and the amazing hospitality at this family owned property. We booked this Quinta based on high reviews and because they were welcoming to our 7 year old child. Highly recommended!

PortugalOnly downside for us was that the indoor pool has no lounge/relaxation area, it’s only the pool itself. A detail to note is that there are stairs to go up to the rooms and there is no lift - however the rooms in the top floor allow you to park your car just outside the room door (it has a separate entrance besides the main door to the house).
Amazing suite, with comfortable huge bed, great walkin shower, cosy lighting. Great selection of cheese for breakfast and amazing croissants and bread. Fresh orange juice. The owners are delightful, very welcoming and available. Very close to Peso da Régua where you can find amazing restaurants.
