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 Kingdom- Garden unkept, scruffy looking. Sun beds poor quality, nails sticking out which is was biggest shame for the group - Unable to use lockers for late check out as they were full - Cold pool
- Excellent location for a group of girls on holiday, central to everything in Porto but quiet in apartment - Everything needed for a weekend away inside apartments - Codes excellent and did the job! Add on late check out was also a bonus - Cleaners good and friendly

United StatesNot having entry instructions before our day of arrival was a concern. It worked out ok but caused some anxiety. There were no sheets or blankets in the apartment for the second bed (a converted sofa). Called the number provided and got sheets in cupboard downstairs. Had to provide my own sleeping bag for warmth.
Location was excellent and the place was clean. Appreciated the functional kitchen, plates and silverware.

United KingdomIt took me quite some time to go inside the room as the code given wasn't working. It's quite difficult to find at first who to contact, but I managed to find an info with number on the wall. The whatsapp message and calls weren't answered so had to do an overseas call (from UK to Portugal) just for me to speak to someone who can sort out the room code. The pool is also not that clean when we arrived. But given it was February, it's still cold to swim anyway even if the pool was clean.
The room was really clean, nice, and modern-looking. Location is okay too! The facilities inside the room are working great. The room we got is overlooking the pool and garden on the ground floor. It has a space outside where you can hangout (which would be nice on warmer months).

UkraineOur room was on the third floor and lugging heavy suitcases up there was a frustrating job. There is no elevator in the building, so if you have heavy suitcases, be prepared to carry them upstairs. Or ask for accommodation on the first floor
The room had two floors and enough space for 5 people. All kitchen appliances worked and there were sufficient dishes. Since the trip was in December, it was important for us that the apartment be warm. And it was really like that! For which special thanks to the hotel.

Excellent location: city center, close to the metro, only 2 stations from the train station and bus station, many shops and cafes nearby. Check-in takes place online and comfortably. The staff was in touch all the time and ready to answer all your questions. The apartment is clean, almost everything you need is there. There are a free lockers for a luggage on the ground floor.

NetherlandsThe shower screen has come over rollers making it hard to get in and out of shower. Hot water takes a long time to come through pipes.
Location was perfect for Porto attractions, market and shops. Apartment was on top floor, quiet and spacious. 2 beds and sofa bed were comfortable and made for our stay. We are healthy and fit so could climb the stairs but it may not appeal to families with young children, lots of luggage or mobility impaired.

Poland1. Cigarettes from downstairs. We had 1st floor apartment and gentelemen from the ground floor was smoking a lot and all the fume went up so for me it was impossible to have windows open with this smell. This is very specific rate so if you ok with it you’ll be fine. 2. Noise from the above apartment’s floor. I was reading and prepared for this looking information for Porto and Lisbon but I’m not sure if anyone could be actually prepared for this :D We had literally hear every single smallest step of our neighbours from 2nd floor (and as I can imagine our neighbour from ground floor could hear us). So this is also cery specific if you’re ok with some noise you’ll be fine (except that it was very quiet). Small things like lack of paper towels or kitchen towels for that matter, no knife (only for bread)- but I suppose if we’ve asked for it they would have bring it to us, it wasn’t necessary just small inconvienience. Overall our stay was very pleasant.
Great location! The apartment was very small but amazingly smart designed! We were suprised the cob was prepared for our 3-year old daughter with her own set of bedding, she was delighted :) The service was fast responding to out needs and if something happening- resolved right away. We are wondering about other apartaments in this building. Hihghly reccommend if you’re not as sensitive as me in two matters.

United StatesThe pool needed more attention. There was a lot of debris in it. The rooms windows face a major street so the windows needed to be closed during the busiest part of the day to cut down on noise and vehicle exhaust coming into the room. The AC worked very well so it was ok to leave the windows closed until night time.
Very central location with great shopping and many restaurants and grocery stores nearby.

United KingdomThe reason I chose this apartment was because of the pool. However, when I arrived on 30th September, I received an email which contained the words "Pool Closed from 1st October". The weather was 30+ degrees for the week, it would have been nice to be able to use the pool. (which had water in it so I wasn't sure why it was defined as closed?)
A few mins walk from Bolhao station and I was able to access a locker to put my bag in whilst I waited for apartment to be ready. Walking distance to other areas of the city (but there are a lot of hills). Bed was comfortable, and towels changed after 3 days. TV had English film channels which was great, everything else as expected (fridge, kettle, microwave).

The place is lovely. Perfect location. Spacious. Easy to reach. Just in the city centre and close to the metro. They send you a code for the main entrance and for the room. So, there is no stuff. But if you need, there is a WhatsApp number so you can reach them.
