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 KingdomThe rooms are quite dark with one small window . Furniture also dark though attractive to many I’m sure. Only BBC world news on the cable tv -not much choice for English speakers Dining room was very cool in the evenings but staff turned heating up when we asked Bit of confusion regarding house wine but we were given a complimentary glass the following evening
Enjoyed the peace and the rural setting. Beautiful lavender even in January. Everything really clean . Food was delicious. Breakfast was nicely presented and delicious home baked cakes/scones etc Very polite service. So convenient having an on site restaurant . 2 excellent evening meals- loved the cod & prawn risotto. Ground floor room appreciated to accommodate disability . Too cool to use the pool but looked well maintained

IsraelI can't think of something I didn't like.
The location is great. very quiet and you can go out for a walk around the hotel, the Breakfast was fresh and great, and the staff was amazing- Sofia and Rubeng were lovely, we stayed there for 2 nights and we enjoyed every moment :) unfortunately, it wasn't too hot for us to swim in the pool, but we enjoyed the garden... the room we had (10) was located on the second floor, it was tranquil and had a nice balcony, the room was huge and didn't have any special facilities, it was perfect - super simple and clean, and the smell of nature is all over, I loved it !!!

United KingdomThe Main Entrance and Welcoming Design Concept is confusing! You are welcomed from the Restaurant terrace entrance, and the guests have to pass through the tables area to reach the check in point. We had the feeling that we were entering a restaurant that had some nice rooms instead of entering an Hotel that has a lovely Restaurant! We would say it's a bit overpriced for the overall experience, specially when the room had lack of natural ventilation (without having to open the windows and risk being bitten by mosquitos). There were issues with the air conditioning not working also. Once again the Staff's Amazing Service compensated the Design, Functionality and General Experience.
Awesome Location! An Elegant Retreat feeling, away from the crowd and yet just 5 min away from the beach! Very Generous Breakfast! You just need to choose your table and let the Amazing Staff Serve You, delicious locally produced products or made with Love at the Farm. In my humble opinion the Staff are the Stars of Quinta do Mel with their Top Customer Attention and Service!

AustraliaAll the food was amazing - however the restaurant and pool area only served mineral water in small-ish glass bottles and very expensive. They could look into a different option for guests like a filter tap, etc.
The property is absolutely beautiful. Stunning gardens and working farm. The pool area is shaded, grassy and very relaxing. We loved the restaurant too. Then breakfast was very generous, tasty and with the freshest ingredients. We ate dinner there one night and the meal was really great.

United KingdomThere were a few details about the room which could elevate it and I informed the hotel about these directly.
Wonderful for a peaceful stay and within a 15 min walk of the beach and a short car ride to other areas. I have mobility issues and managed fine with walking to and from the beach. You intiailly enter the hotel via the restaurant and at checkin you'll be given access to a separate entrance. Restaurant has an extensive menu. Wonderful produce from the farm itself used including lamb, vegetables, jams, herbs, tea. I had an excellent orange and mint tea with some honey cake :) I stayed 4 nights in Room 3. The room was fairly small but fine for one person. Lovely interior and furniture. Stone floors. Window shutters make the room pitch black at night. Very comfortable bed. Air conditioning, kettle, water, organic shower gel/handwash in the bathroom. Separate towels for the pool. Breakfast was a delightful highlight - the fresh orange juice is delicious! Fruit, museli, pastries, jams, cheese, ham, eggs, bread. All delicious. You can see why many non-hotel guests come here just for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Lovely grounds including seating so you can take in the farm, flora. Small pool with sun loungers is a lovely spot to relax during the day. There's a separate tv room too. The staff here were very attentive and although often busy, they were happy to help, good natured and hard working. I very much hope to visit again and in the meantime hope to order some of the delicious jams and produce online. P.s. in case you don't have a car like me, travelling around is very easy. I'd walk to the beach and for when I visited other places I took an Uber. E.g. Hotel to Albufeira: 9.5 euros Hotel to Praia Santa Eulália: 6.2 euros Hotel to Olhos de Agua: 3.8 euros

IrelandThe beds could have been a little softer, and because of the farm and the restaurant was all open to the outside there were flies around while we were eating. Also the rooms were a little dark, (not a lot of lighting).
I loved the location and the charm of this place. The pool was wonderful. This is a quaint, farm to table quieter location. It was perfect for what we were looking for. We were a family of 5, however the family rooms had already been booked so we got 2 separate rooms and they added a bed to one of the rooms for us. The staff were wonderful. It’s really a good value for the price.
