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.).

BelgiumI loved the people working there. Everyone was so kind. On our last day, they saw us enjoying the sun before our check-out and told us that we could stay a little longer if we wanted to and not to worry about checkout. Awesome! We had zero problems while staying there.

PortugalWhat a wonderful gem of a hotel! We loved the modern renovation of an ancient building, the delightful indoor and outdoor public spaces and the marble sculptures thand art work on display. Added bonus of complementary tea and cake throughout the day! Breakfast was at least the standard of a good 4-star hotel.

BelgiumThe bed was too hard. I liked the modern design, but the room could have used a rug and more soft furnishings.

CanadaOnly thing that I can think of is extra pillows. However, I didn't ask for them either.
The proprietor paid a lot of attention to details. There was so much to see and discover at this hotel. Every nook had an item of interest. Loved the vintage space, the kids space, the games/library room, the tea room.....so much. The pool area (though we didn't use) looked great and was used by other clients. There were restaurants available and Vila Viscosa was a surprising little town (enjoyed a free piano concert one evening at the palace!) The staff were attentive and helpful. The towels in the bathroom were large and ample.....wonderfully luxurious!!!!!! Inclusive breakfast, ample and lots to choose from with fruit available!!! Overall excellent!!!!

PortugalThe rooms have balconies that oversee the internal courtyard which is quite pleasant. My room was huge. The hotel has little nooks and crannies which are delightful. They also leave a 24h self-service area where you can make your own tea from a varied selection of teas, it was very comforting. Breakfast also was a pleasant surprise it had a wide range of offerings.

PortugalUnfortunately - as is usually the case in Portugal - the pool isn't heated, which meant it was a very short dip for me! Everything else was perfect.
The hotel is beautiful and just around the corner from the palace (where there is ample parking) and all other sights in Vila Vicosa. Our double room exceeded our expectations - we had a separate large lounge area and two terraces overlooking the pool and central area. Breakfasts are varied with hot and cold options. The scrambled egg, in particular, was very good. Somehow we managed to resist the two types of cake on offer (one carrot with a chocolate topping). There is a kettle with tea and coffee which guests can use throughout the day, which we particularly liked. There is also a fascinating little vintage clothes shop on site, which we only visited at night (when it was closed) but seemed very reasonably priced.
