Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

JerseyEverything was great, we can't complain ) That's our second stay in Roots and we love it.
We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly polite, and the check-in process was super quick. Our room was very clean, with a beautiful view, a comfortable bed, and a fully equipped kitchen. The location is very convenient. It was very quiet, allowing us to relax and get a good night’s sleep. Additionally, the room was spacious and a pleasure to stay in. The internet was super fast as well.

IrelandFront desk staff (Marcelo and Lilyan) were friendly,warm and extremely helpful. It is ideally located with short walk to the harbour where the old town is beautiful. Recommend going on the red tour "bus". We loved eating in Amore Mio restaurant with the food excellent and ambiance superb. Room was clean and well fitted. Shower excellent. Would definitely stay here again without hesitation. Shopping mall just a 15 mins walk and is very pretty.

United KingdomThat we couldn't stay longer, we will be back.
From the second we walked into Roots, we knew this was going to be a special hotel. The team on reception gave us the warmest welcome and couldn't have been more helpful, they'd even got our room ready early, having asked us the day before what time we would be arriving in Faro (we'd asked if we could leave our bags, so this was a massive help!). As for the beautiful apartment we stayed in, I have never seen anywhere so clean, the sofa bed had been made up for us and every little detail had been thought of. The bed was incredibly comfortable (and huge!). The additional of the small pool was a fantastic facility and the hotel was perfectly located. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, or recommend it to anyone visiting Faro. 10/10.

SwitzerlandWe had a large terrace with full sun but no means of shade what so ever. This meant we couldn‘t sit out for a large part of the day.
Spotlessly clean, friendly staff and an easy walk to all amenities in Faro. Don‘t be put off about the area it‘s undergoing regeneration but is perfectly safe.

United KingdomThis place was spotless! Lovely modem feel. Spacious bathroom with rain fall shower- the best on my trip so far in Portugal! The kitchen comes with everything you need. There’s also free hot drinks (tea/coffee/hot chocolate/water/milk) available on the ground floor. This is the second time I’ve stayed here, first time one bedroom apt and this time a studio apartment, which had everything apart from a balcony with table and chairs. There’s a small pool outside, lots of seating available with shaded areas as well as indoor seating. The hotel is walking distance to the restaurants/sights and around the corner from the train and bus station, which is ideal if going on day trips or to/from the airport. The best thing is the warm, friendly, helpful staff, always welcoming and smiling. Will stay here again next time, 100% recommend to everyone!
