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.).

IrelandThe walk up from the town Uber rides are a necessity rather than a convenience.
Fantastic panoramic views of Albufeira and the coastline. We were made to feel as though we were more than just guests. The staff are very warm and welcoming. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout. Breakfast is a buffet continental style with plenty of selection.

United KingdomRoom Keys had to be handed back to reception before leaving the hotel every time. This was incredibly annoying as we would have to hand them back even if we were just going to the pool or supermarket. Reception staff was generally good about staying at the reception - though we did have to wait to get our key back a few times.
Nice rooms with lovely balcony. The pool area was lovely and quiet. The breakfast was fine - continental. There is a supermarket close by (7mins) and the beach is about a 10/15 min walk.

GermanyIn booking and also in the reception there's an information, that the hotel offers washing service but that's not the case. There's no air conditioning in the room. There are very few power plugs in the room so it was problematic for two people to charge phones at the same time.
The location is really good, close to the beach. You can go to the restaurant terrace with your own food and drinks and enjoy the view. The room was being cleaned every day.

SpainIt is too much up the hill to get there walking, takes a while but not too far. Breakfast could be better with some more meat options.
The woman at the reception was super sweet and friendly. She is a perfect receptionist definitely. The view from the breakfast area is nice. Having parking at the front door was really practical.

United KingdomThe location of the property was in a quiet area with lovely views above the old town. It was in a great location as it was only a few minutes walk from the beach and a few minutes from the centre of the old town. The staff were amazing. Cassia was very welcoming and helpful before and when I checked in. I spoke with Nazare on most days and she is really friendly and made guests feel so comfortable and welcome. She was very professional and is a real asset to the hotel. I never met the cleaning team but they did a great job in keeping the rooms very tidy, every day. The rooms were spacious and great value for money. I would definitely come back again and had a great time visiting Albufeira and the Algarve for the first time. Well done and thank you to all the staff at the hotel for being superb at looking after the guests so well :)

New ZealandUnfortunately there wasn’t much ceiling/floor insulation and one of the nights there was a lady above us just casually walking around in high heels at midnight for about half an hour on tiled floors which was a pit of a nuisance cause it was super loud not really the hotels fault though.
Was a nice big place, not too far from old town and got a nice view of the ocean. Staff on the front desk were lovely.

United KingdomRoom 203. The bath needed to be cleaned more or replaced with a new one. No light fittings to the ceiling only on the walls which I had to walk around the room with the door open at night to let light in to see the wall light switches. Not enough power sockets, none near my bed so had to unplug the TV to charge my mobile phone.
The location to the marvellous and atmospheric old town and the beautiful golden sandy beaches with the lovely clean blue relaxing and calming Atlantic ocean. The staff were very polite and requested taxies for me whenever I needed one.

Portugal- The beds were terribly uncomfortable. Both of our backs would hurt each night because we would often turn on our side at night and the beds were extremely firm. Neither of us are overweight. - My partner asked one staff person for a coke zero and she said she didn't have that. The next person we talked to said yes they have had it. - You are expected to leave your hotel room key at the front desk but sometimes the front desk staff are missing for a bit or they will be taking a long time to help someone else in person or on the phone and you have to wait a while (sometimes very long) to finally get your hotel key. - We asked if we could leave our backpacks with one of the hotel staff because we had several hours to wait on our train. She said yes but that we had to leave them in an open area in the lobby. She had plenty of space behind the desk. We told her another staff member said we could put them behind the desk but she didn't care. She then said something like "well what do you expect since we are a 2 star hotel". We also saw another guest complaining about her but we don't know the details. - Cleaning took our food that wasn't even near the trash one day that we expected to eat when we got back. - Even a staff member complained about the heat in the hotel during a time of the year which could make it unpleasant
Beautiful view from floor 5. Quiet area. 24 hour staff. Easy walking distance to old downtown, beach and to a marina. One really nice and friendly staff person that went out of their way to help people. There are a limited amount of rooms with AC and they were kind enough to make sure we got one.
