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 KingdomThe only thing I didn't like about the hotel was the fact that it was in Albufeira! It was our first visit to Albufeira and will probably be our last, it just wasn't for us. Having said that once you were in the confines of the hotel you could have been anywhere it is so so tranquil, a real oasis from the hustle and bustle of Albufeira Old Town. I would say that Vila Origens is one of those destination hotels so may be we will back in spite of its location, it would be nice to think so.
This truly is an amazing hotel and far exceeded our expectations. I'm not really sure where to start or indeed ensure that I do the hotel justice. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, the bed was so comfortable and was enhanced by the quality of the bed linen. The bathroom was just perfect with a large walk in rain shower. The hotel is immaculate and is so tranquil. The outstanding breakfast which comprises of an extensive range of cold meats, cheeses, pastries and fruit is served at your table and taken on a covered terrace and comes with complimentary champagne. Every member of staff was so attentive, personable and extremely professional. It really was an absolute privilege to stay in Vila Origens.

FranceNothing! Our only disappointment was nothing to do with the hotel, but the rowdy tourists in the town. Coming back to the hotel was like returning to a haven of calm.
The hotel is like a jewel, an oasis of calm. The staff are attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We were able to completely relax. The breakfast is a feast, the room was comfortable and beautifully decorated, the facilities were top knotch. The massage was divine!

United KingdomNothing we can think of, everything was perfect.
Everything about this hotel is excellent. The location is fantastic just a 2 minute walk to the beach and into the old town, yet behind those gates you could be anywhere, a tranquil oasis. The room was stylish, comfortable and all amenities we could need. Breakfast was on another level to any other hotel we have stayed at, Champagne every morning, well why not ? We never had to wait for a sunbed or cabana there was always something spare and the pool was so warm and just big enough to take a quick dip and swim or just stand around and relax in. But the highlight of the holiday were the staff, what a fantastic team, nothing was too much trouble, always with a big smile to greet you too. We feel like family now after just a week. Special call out to Rui, Ana, Vera and Paulo, who made such lovely meals and tended to our every need. Everything was so great, we have booked again for next year before we even left. Highly recommended, we may likely make this hotel our every year location, it is so good.

GuernseyVila Origens is an oasis. We found all staff without exception to be delightful. The breakfasts were superb and the proximity to some very good restaurants where we enjoyed dinner was good. We would recommend this hotel to anyone who delights in peace and tranquillity and would most definitely return.

IrelandEverything was perfect, we didn't want to leave and already looking for an excuse to go back and stay here again. The staff were amazing and friendly, especially Rui and Anna who was always ready to top us up with Moet at breakfast :) the rooms were super clean and comfy. The location is ideal and so central to the Old Town for restaurants and the nightlife however, it doesn't impact on the relaxing atmosphere around the pool area and you're not disturbed when sleeping at night. I'd recommend Vila Origens to anybody :)

We were here for our wedding with a number of wedding guests, each guess experience mirrored our own, all had very positive things to say. The staff were very accommodating, especially with allowing all the bridesmaids to get ready in the morning, this allowed the day to run smoothly.

United StatesBeautiful hotel! It felt like walking into a castle because they have this large wooden door that opens and reveals the property, and it’s absolutely beautiful inside. They accommodated my dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free) for breakfast. The rooms are very nice, along with the balconies, but the star of the show is pool area where breakfast is served. I also had a massage with Christina which was great.

SwedenThe best with our stay in Portugal was for sure this hotel. We have stayed in many hotels and this stands out for their great hospitality. The staff were the nicest people I ever met. The breakfast at poolside the highlight of the day. The spa- treatments were fab. This hidden oasis has a great location - close to beach and restaurants. We will never forget the beauty of this place and the warm hearted people who care for it and for their guests.
