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 KingdomAlthough the location was good in terms of access to attractions the amount of noise from the bars and buskers on the square was intolerable and prevented us from getting adequate rest. The hotel would benefit from having soundproofing for rooms overlooking Praca Ribeira. I would have liked to have been offered a quieter room. It should be made clearer on the booking.com site just how noisy it is.
Clean and nice modern decor. Great breakfast and helpful and friendly staff. Good location . The hotel itself was a quiet environment.

DenmarkShower, the head was old the water came our in 2 big section rather than the wholes plus on the wall there was to holder position one in the heigh or your stomach one way above your head, so up the water hitting your face hurts and it would even bend cause it's to close to the wall. No position in between just that two spots on the wall so that was not fun! For the money they could have put a separate shower gel, shampoo and conditioner not a 3in1 bottle that was actually pretty bad even for showering. Glad I took my own with me but for a hotel for the money I would rather have those than have someone fold the bed after a night sleep.
The view! We did not use the AC so not sure if it worked or how.

United KingdomBreakfast and couldn't care less attitude of some (not all), Breakfast Staff. Specifically, the "Hot" breakfast, bacon and scrambled eggs were, for the first two days of my stay, extremely cold and despite my complaint, nothing was done at that stage to improve the situation. Day 3 of my stay, the "hot" breakfast was "warm" and edible(ish). However, the cooked meat served from the cold buffet was no longer available and when I asked for it to be replenished, a member of staff eventually returned with a tray full of cheese and said they didn't have any meat. Finally, the coffee machine broke on Day 1 of my stay and wasn't fixed until Day 3. Having said all that, please don't let my "Breakfast" experience put you off staying at the Oca Ribeira do Porto Hotel, it's a warm and welcoming hotel in probably the best location in Porto and everything other than the Breakfast was excellent.
