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 air conditioner pipe should be placed in a bucket instead of leaving the water to drip on the floor, this can be accidental due to slippery surfaces especially for kids who tend to run about.
Everything! The Host, Maria is a rare gem! The attention to details is incredible! We were made to feel welcomed upon check in. She got us fresh fruits in the fruit basket, port wine and snacks for the kids. This is a beautiful touch Maria, keep it up! 👍🏻 The apartment is small but mighty, everything you need for an enjoyable stay was made available. Perfect for a family of 4 with small kids. Location is quite central, close to shops. I will highly recommend this place.

Our stay in Refugio was exceptional! The owner, an extremely polite and amazing lady, exceeded our expectations with her warm hospitality and attention to details. The flat was very clean, and she thoughtfully provided everything we might need, including a delightful surprise of welcome drinks, fruits, and coffee. The convenience of free parking, just a short walk around the corner, made our arrival stress-free. Although the flat was small, its comfort and cleanliness stood out. The terrace was a huge plus, offering a pleasant space to unwind. Conveniently located near a metro station, a few minutes' walk from the main street, and a pleasant 20-minute walk to the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, the apartment's location was ideal for exploring the city. The added bonus of free parking and a charming terrace made this stay a perfect blend of comfort, and convenience. A heartfelt thank you, Maria, for making our Porto visit so special!

CanadaNothing to do with the wonderful apartment but the area and street was not very attractive. There was construction in the next apartment that started very early and went on late into the night. I did not do enough research and found the apartment was further out of the center than I thought. The parking is in a garage in the next street, there is no parking outside the apartment and this made moving our cases in and out difficult.
This apartment is very clean and modern inside. Every space has been carefully thought out. Maria was a fantastic host, she met us at the apartment and gave us lots of information. There was a huge selection of fruit, wine, beer, cookies, tea, coffee and treats left for us which was lovely.

LithuaniaThere is nothing to write here. It was absolutely perfect.
This apartment made you feel at home. Maybe even better than at home, because not every house has a terrace. This is an apartment of total comfort. Spotless cleanliness and a comfortable bed, a nice relaxing area and other details that you don't usually expect to find in a rental property. Everything you could possibly need, from laundry or dishwasher capsules to decaffeinated coffee. There were so many fresh fruits prepared by the hosts that we couldn't eat them in 3 days. The home appliances and air conditioning worked perfectly. There was a lot of useful information in the apartment about restaurants, places to visit, etc. All the useful information you will need can be found on arrival. The hosts meet their guests without delay. Parking is a little away from the apartment, but it is not a problem. One more important point. Even those who may have difficulty with walking can choose the apartments. It is easy to reach the major sites of the city on foot, as you walk downhill, and you can return easily by public transport.

There's nothing we don't like. Everything was perfect and very finely thought out. There is no need to look for another place to stay in Porto. There is a covered parking lot. All places to visit are close by. There's even a detailed file at home that tells you everything. Excellent caring host. A super hygiene. Endless treats.
