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.).

The guest house is situated right in the centre of Alvor but away from all the restaurants on the main strip so nice and peaceful. The views over the harbour across to Lagos are exceptional. We stayed in the top floor apartment with its own shower room. It was very well appointed with easy access to the roof top area. There was an honesty bar on the joint balcony with soft drinks and beer @ 1.50 euros each. Sophie our hoist was professional, helpful and friendly and catered to all our needs. Just a shame that we only had two nights there as they have worked so hard on the property.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to like.
Absolutely loved staying at Rooftop Guesthouse in Alvor. Impressed by the attention to detail and the facilities. Smart TV, safe and fridge in our twin room as well as a free coffee machine and cookies in the shared kitchen. Tastefully decorated and very clean. Super friendly and helpful hosts. Totally recommended. The location is also very good. Close to harbour, beach, shops, cafes and restaurants. Next to a lovely church. Great view from the rooftop terrace and nice seating area. Also an honesty bar for soft drinks available.

IrelandLoved everything.
Rooftop guesthouse was the nicest place I’ve ever stayed in the Algarve. I loved the cleanliness of the room and facilities , the aesthetic and finishing touches of both rooms I stayed in was amazing. The owner Sofie was so nice and accommodating during our stay. There was free cookies and a coffee machine for use in the shared kitchenette area, and a lovely area to sit where we would have croissants or breakfast every morning. The rooftop terrace had the nicest view of Alvor and was the ideal place to watch the sunset, with the addition of the “honesty bar” where you could take drinks at your own discretion and leave money. Location was amazing as was located on a street right off the main strip/town, approx 1 min walk from all the best restaurants. This was by far one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed, will definitely be back.

The room was well designed and very clean - looks like the pictures. Only stayed for a night, but would definitely go back! They also offer to rent out the whole place (4 rooms).
