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 KingdomNothing….Only that I would want to stay longer!
Everything was superb! I had the most wonderful time at Solar Alvura. It was perfect in every way; from the welcoming Tiago provided, my beautiful room with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, the healthy and delicious food, the spa treatments ( thank you Pedro), the gardens, sitting by the beautiful fire in the evenings laughing and chatting. The pool area and terrace overlooking the orange grove are a delight too. Davio the donkey is a beautiful and friendly boy. I had so much fun and met the most wonderful people, those who worked at the hotel and guests. A wonderful, special haven with a very special Team headed up by Dr Eva. Thank you all 🙏 Dr Eva, Tiago, Claudia, Vesna, our chef and gardener behind the scenes.

Where to begin - charming hotel with bags of character and incredible people. A true family business, Evan was such an amazing person. Emma was wonderful and Nothing was too much trouble for the team. We met Eva on the day we left and she was so kind and thoughtful also. Breakfast was always delicious and nutritious. We loved the late evening swims and they even made us a mini breakfast when we had to leave early for our flight. Highly recommend staying here. Can’t wait to go back for a yoga retreat!

United KingdomThe staff were extremely welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The food was exquisite and plentiful. The spa was run very well indeed and provided advice as well. Drinks, which I had on a package, were generously poured. Pool was clean and well maintained. Grounds were beautiful. Staff took time to know guests personally. It's a small hotel but that's still indicative of their impressive attitude.

United KingdomI wouldnt say l didnt like it but it did take a bit of getting used to no menus just 2 or three verbal selections and l would have preferred menus especially at lunch when you only wanted a light bite rather than 3 courses. No complaints about the food though it was always really delicious and superb much better than our previous hotel in the area
Lovely peaceful location breakfast over the orange grove. Super comfortable bed excellent bathroom and delicious food . We just went as “ usual “ tourists not on any health break and loved it the chef cooked us especially delicious not necessarily as healthy as other guests

IrelandJust one point, a little kettle in each room would be handy , nice to just kick back with a tea or coffee , reading and just relaxing! This was suggested to Dr Ava and in fairness she does take any suggestions onboard....
As Solar Alvura is a health hotel the food is carefully planned and prepared to be healthy and tasty with lots of low calorie and low carb offers, although your calorie intake is lower than the normal you seldom feel hungry as it's three meals a day plus two snacks so there's plenty! The staff and the location are fantastic, the staff could not do enough for you and the Portuguese sunshine is always welcome of course! The hotel is top class with fantastic decor which makes you feel really relaxed with a fantastic feeling of serenity. Also there are activities such as yoga. aqua aerobics, indoor gym and guided walks, always something to do , plenty of downtime too to just relax with a nice herbal tea and your book ! I honestly loved it and would return in a heartbeat! About 20 minutes from Faro airport where you are collected and dropped off, ideal location, sitting on the terrace looking at the orange groves does wonders for all your health requirements ! As another guest said, Solar Alvura has a beautiful karma about it, I really wish Dr Ava every success in her dream, she has a great team around her and I think the hotels future will go from strength to strength ! Good luck !!
