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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

PortugalI just don't like that our child gets up very early and eats early :) Maybe it would be nice to receive your amazing pastries a little earlier.
Among the most incredible experiences, we've had. Everything is based on true love for nature and animals. The staff and the owner are so welcoming and let you feel at home. Thank you for one of the best weekends and adventures we had. We will definitely return soon

IsraelThis is such a magical place, we arrived and were immediately greeted by amazing big hearted hosts. The rooms are clean, newly furnished, modern and comfy. We slept amazingly well. The farm is just incredible with a variety of animals that’s breathtaking! The staff are knowledgeable and accommodating. Our children did not want to leave and neither did we. I highly recommend this gem.

We loved the farm. Fabulous hosts and staff, who ensured we felt at home. Great atmosphere and design - every single detail was thought about. For us it was particularly special as we have two very urban small children; seeing them relaxing and being able to interact with the animals was fabulous. Thank you for a brilliant experience

GermanyWe booked this stay to do the Paiva walkways and cross the new 516 bridge with our children. The farm was so nice that the kids only wanted to stay there :) very well maintained farm with more than 600 animals and super friendly staff. The apartment was very comfortable - we found the bed great, which allowed us to have 3 good nights of rest. Definitely recommend for families with children that love animals!

United KingdomQuintãs Farm Houses is a great place if you have kids that love animals and farm living, or if you want a break in quiet countryside. It sits however at the historical centre of the small portuguese city of Arouca, circa 40 minutes from Porto. The city has good options to indulge yourself in portuguese cuisine, as bakeries and restaurants, and is the home of Arouca abbey. Apart from the city, there are many other places to explore, since Quintãs is also next to Arouca GeoPark - a beautiful region with many attractions, from a splash in the river to the longest suspended bridge in Europe. That is, if your kids allow you to leave the farm and go anywhere else. The host is very welcoming. The staff is superb and brings magic to life for the kids - speaking the language is an advantage here, but it will probably work with every child confident enough to go along and feed the animals :^). Great stay, even better memories!

PortugalFewer flies would be nice. But, on an animal farm, it is difficult to avoid them. It also would be nice to have local cheese and cured meats instead of the industrial version.
The property, lodging and surroundings, were exquisite and exceptional. The architecture of the lodging is spectacular and exquisite. It's located inside an animal farm with plenty of animals - farm animals and exotic animals. The farm employee, that doubles as guest's attendant, Tony, is genuinely nice. He loves both his jobs and is very entertaining and educational. We had the opportunity to learn quite a lot about the animals. We used the stay for a visit to Passadiços do Paiva and 516 bridge, but we learned there is a lot more to do and see in the area. We will have to come back for the stuff we didn't see. Tony even gave us a free tour of Arouca.

LuxembourgEverything was perfect. The breakfast was very convenient with warm bread delivered at our door. The fridge was full with a good selection of options. We loved the modernity of this award winning site. Was a wonderful surprise. We only hope to be back soon to explore the farm in more detail. Since we only had one day to explore and we had book the Passadiços do Paiva, there was little time to spend in the farm which deserves at least one full day.

United StatesWe had such a great time. The staff was so kind and great with my children! We loved seeing all of the animals. The breakfast was incredible and the amount was enough for all of us! We had a family of 6 in two apartments. My only bad thing is that we spent so much time outside the property- we barely had time to enjoy the beautiful insides!!
