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 KingdomDifficulty to get an Uber but staff were able to hail yellow taxis easily. Slightly on pricey side but you really get exclusivity with this villa.
Gave us complimentary welcome drinks. Jasmine was really friendly & helpful - made the check in process really smooth. The room was lovely, clean & spacious. Overlooking an amazing view from the balcony. Breakfast was nice & Vinicius was attentive and friendly. We also tried their dinner menu & pool snacks. The food was outstanding.

it’s a beautiful location in a nice neighborhood and with stunning scenery. it’s very private and not busy and you feel like it’s a quiet retreat from the chaos of rio- the service on every level was fabulous. we would definitely recommend it and although we were one of only two couples there we felt very safe and comfortable.

United Kingdomthe route to get there is complex, and once you are up at the property, it is difficult to head in and out given the time it takes for taxis or ubers to get through the gates. I was initially driving myself and had a very bad (and scary) time as Google maps routed me down a very dangerous street inadvertently - I would strongly encourage those coming from abroad or unfamiliar with Río to not even consider driving themselves, and think carefully about access to avoid being in uncomfortable situations. the hotel was great at advising me on safer routes and also helping me explain to ubers my preferences subsequently, but I wish I had known in advance if you are planning to be self contained and stay mostly within the property, or keep your movements to a minimum, I would highly recommend, but would really strongly encourage thinking twice about accessibility.
absolutely stunning estate at the top of a huge hill overlooking Río. beautiful grounds, beautiful villa, and really wonderful setting

United StatesI wouldn’t say “I didn’t like” It’s just a tip that the hotel should keep a few vila Santa Teresa drivers 🚗 if in case the guests needs it! When rains it’s very hard to find a ride ( Uber, cab) to take to the top of Santa Teresa because it’s very slippery! But just a tip! ❤️ I miss Rio and this amazing hotel! For sure it’s in my first choice when I come back to Rio de Janeiro!
I loved the view, we could see the Cristo redentor, Pão de Açúcar, o estádio! Super quiet, very secluded, we felted we were the whole time like in or own house or like at our grandma’s house, one night we got to the hotel around 1am and it was so quiet and almost all the lights was off we felted just home! It was an amazing feeling! It was not a regular hotel, it was an Amazing “family house”! ❤️ The staffs was just so lovely, serving an amazing breakfast, always ready to help us with anything we needed! Thank you to Everton, Yasmin, Duarte, Vinicius for the amazing job
