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.).

CanadaNothing, I enjoyed it all.
W Algarve, Wow you lived up and exceeded 5 Star hotel. All staff went above and beyond, kind a super friendly. Ate at both the market restaurant and Paper Moon which is the Italian specialty. I was here to celebrate my birthday. The whenever and whatever team decorated my room on my birthday, and send me two birthday cards with a birthday dessert. Room and Facility is immaculate and would recommend this 10/10 experience for myself.

United KingdomThe food was quite basic and you can definitely get better quality food for way cheaper in Old Town Albufeira, but I guess you’re also paying for convenience and service when you order from W.
Was a very beautiful hotel, extremely clean and smells so beautiful. The staff are all so amazing, polite, friendly and helpful. I had an amazing time and felt so well looked after and pampered during my stay. Definitely 5 star and luxury all round.

SwedenBreakfast service a bit and food not refilled when running out (like cheese, beans) but super staff. Paper Moon felt to stressful service, for the quality of food and price tag. It felt like they wanted to flip our table, quality food was awesome - but the size of the lobster pasta could be bigger.
Modern, fresh, stylish, nice design, super staff, clean

United StatesThese are all slight comments, I really loved this place: - the breakfast staff is exceptional, but the price is a bit on the higher side; - in our room, there was no isolation between the bathroom and the main room: the window is even transparent. Personally, even if I were with miss Universe, I don't need to see and hear her brushing her teeth... My opinion :). - the buttons to control the curtains and lights are a bit complicated, and twice I found myself inadvertently turning all lights on, which did not please my sleeping friend. Again these are minor suggestions. Loved my stay at W
Amazing hotel and exceptional staff. They go above and beyond to satisfy you. They even taught me how to get rid of terrible hiccups. The Italian restaurant is really good and you have to try their tiramisu, mama Mia! Maia was also adorable. The gentlemen at valet are also super! Loved it! Muito obrigado!

United KingdomA distance from the main town and nightlife, very much a contained resort. Pricing at the restaurant and bar were very much on the high side and seem to exploit that you didn’t have anywhere else to go.
A very stylish hotel akin to other hotels in the W chain, perhaps focussed on a younger affluent clientele. The striking architecture and facilities make it a great resort. Professional and helpful staff, a well run operarion.
