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 KingdomSemi rural location, which suits us, with great train links into the city or Sintra etc We also used Uber to get back from Lisbon which was very reasonable. The owners were always happy to help. Room was comfy and clean and breakfast had enough lovely options! Had the pool to ourselves, which was a refreshing but real treat.

United StatesSlow drain in the shower.
The owner was friendly and she gave us a good advice for visiting Sintra palaces. We could park inside the property. We like the location since it is close to parking lot near Sintra train station and also within reasonable distance to Lisbon airport. The whole property was beautiful and well maintained. Our room on the ground floor was quite large and tastefully furnished with antique pieces. Also the bathroom was spacious. Everything was clean. The breakfast was served in very nice dining room and the selection of food was excellent. The second day we were leaving early, but we could prepare our meal and coffee in the shared kitchen at the end of the building. The place is quiet and charming. We recommend it!

New ZealandBeautiful property but on the edge of a commuter town with views onto multiple tall blocks of flats and railway tracks and commuter road. We mistakenly thought this place was in the country. Walking to the local and good restaurant in the evening felt very urban but deserted with a few cars passing by. The kettle was quite dangerous as it didn’t pour well and boiling g hot water would splash out and mopping was always required after making a cuppa Shower head not functioning well, a lop sided dribble of water coming from a rain shower head didn’t make for a nice shower experience.
Beautiful property and lovely, accommodating hosts providing us with good tips. Tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms were a bonus

United KingdomI can't think of anything to be negative about.
It was an unexpectedly amazing place. The history in the main room is 1700s and the tiles on the walls tell a story. The guest rooms in the main converted barn have Huge beautiful spaces. Enourmous. Great for families. There are trampolines, football area, animals lots of amazing spaces. The pool is dreamy. The shared kitchen I didn't even realise was there for a couple of day. It is all really nicely laid out and the staff great and helpful. I wish I had taken more photos of the building.

After some time in Lisbon and then seeing the crowds of Sintra, we enjoyed being away from the craziness of the touristy sights. This place was great for a nice time out resting, enjoying the pool, and admiring the little orchard in the back. Leonore was a very helpful host and served the best morning coffee in the village :)

This was such a relaxing stay. The chickens, the pool, the field and the playground - they were perfect. We also appreciated the kitchen which could be used by guests and the general vibe of the facility. It’s gorgeous and very old. Also, our host, Catarina, was wonderful. Kind, great with the kids, and even accommodated my son’s dietary restrictions. A huge thanks.

United StatesBreakfast - Okay, before any pre-judgement - I am certainly pickier than your average traveler: so, this not a knock on our lovely hosts (it is certainly me) I am more in line with hot American style breakfast. My spouse remarked a fairly standard European breakfast, and her expectations were met.
Quiet is always very important for me...CHECK! Having a friendly/pet-able dog made my spouse very happy. That bed I slept on needs to me put in my house. My PTSD only allows me to sleep 1-3 hours...I slept 4 hours...AMAZING. Location was a little to get to, but patience led us to this place, and I will do it all over again visiting. Moreover, I hope this review convinces you to stay there also.

United StatesThat we didn't stay here longer!
This was one of the top locations my wife and I stayed at when touring around Portugal ! A bit of a challenge on the GPS if arriving after dark but no regrets whatsoever! Our Hosts were exceptional ! This location was quiet and safe and our room (more like a small cottage!?) was HUGE as was the bathroom. (Stand firm, exceptional water pressure in the shower!) Nice farm like grounds and a nice pool just outside (was glad we visited off season since no pool activity) Short walk through a beautiful small garden area for a very nice continental breakfast. Easy very short car ride to the "end of the line" train station so a nice safe and easy commuter train ride in to Lisbon and back! (Do Not Drive to Lisbon if you can avoid it!) Entry to the property has a secure 'entry code' to open the Gates to drive in. Very quiet and safe area. Hands down we would stay here again!

My wife and I are vegan, and for EVERY breakfast she bought us vegan milk, yogourt, cheese spread. Without saying that there was already jam, peanut butter, bread, fruits, feuit juice, cereals, coffee, seeds. She even prepared us a breakfast the day before our early leaving (5AM). You’ll feel at home. We will return in the futur for sure.
