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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

SloveniaIf you have a car, you'll have a bit of trouble finding parking. It was also a problem during the weekend because there are so many parties and you can hear everything in your bedroom at night. Loud singing and talking goes on until 4 in the morning.
The apartment is clean, beautiful and spacious. It has lots of equipment. It is in the city centre in a very good location. Very friendly reception and I got a lot of information about what to see and where to eat. They were at my disposal for any questions and advice.

The apartment is central and in reach of everything. The apartment was clean and check-in was easy. The owner left us with great suggestions of restaurants and places to go which were all great. Yes it can be a little noisy at times but only because the apartment is very central and we didn't find it too bad and we slept very well. Would definitely recommend this place and will return some time in the future. Thank you very much

SlovakiaOur apartment was at the ground floor, right behind the window there was a street and we heard people walking and cars driving. Also it was a bit humid in the place.
The location is close to the city center, the owner was super nice, he gave us tips for restaurants and places to go in Porto. The apartment had everything we needed for short stay.

United KingdomOnly 4 towels for duration of our stay (5 nights) No mirror, only the one in the bathroom, so the wife couldn't use the hairdryer and mirror at the same time. No teatowel, I would have expected 1 at least, so we used a hand towel. Some extra pillows would have been a nice touch, in case guests like more pillows. Huge wardrobe in bedroom, so no problem to supply and store some. Extra quilt was provided, which we used, but it was very thin, also wasn't clean. Had a few stains on it. Communication started off fine, both before we arrived and on the first night ( to collect the 15 euros "tourist tax" ), then nothing. I messaged the host that the shower head bracket was loose and coming away from the wall within a few hours of getting there ( when we first arrived, i noticed the shower head was left in the bath, but thought nothing of it until we came to use the shower), there was no reply at all to this, so we managed with holding the shower head in one hand whilst we showered, not ideal. Also no check out instructions, I messaged the host the day before our departure to ask about check out arrangements, again, no reply. No info in the welcome pack, as we didn't know what to do with the keys, we just sat in the apartment with bags packed until the cleaner turned up at 1pm on checkout day. We asked her what we do with the keys, she told us to put them in a post box within the complex, but I wouldn't have thought to do this, as the box was marked "post". This is an honest review of our experience in this particular accommodation. We have stayed in other properties in Faro before, and had entirely different experiences, Faro itself is a great place to visit and a good base from which to explore the Algarve, so do not be put off staying in the city. All in all though, too many little niggles, which all added up to a fairly neutral experience, which is a real shame, as the issues raised can easily be rectified.
Superb location, very central to all main amenities, marina, bus and train stations, supermarkets, restaurants etc Good WiFi in apartment, very stable. Apartment was modern and airy. Plentiful hot water.

GermanyOn Saturday night it was noisy due to the night club on the other side of the street.Also,it was extremely cold inside the apartment( host provide a heater,but for this space one is not enough).
The location was really great and close to the city center.Apartment is pretty new with all facilities you may need,also the size of the apartment is pretty big.You have your own small balcony to have a cup of tea and enjoy the sun.The main door was not transparent as it was mentioned in some of reviews(but maybe it was changed recently 🤷🏼♀️)Host was very nice and meet after check in time.Bed,sofa and pillows was very comfortable.

United KingdomUnfortunately there is a night club on the back road on the bedroom side and people hang outside until 5am/6am talking out loud, I guess the price would be reflective of that... The shower holder needs updating as it's a bit wobbly. Shame we couldn't work the TV channels with the remote which was a bit annoying, but we only stayed for a couple of days. On arrival the house numbers are a bit confusing, and better clarification or a like plaque on the gate would have been useful. The road is also a bit rough at night. Despite the above, it still is a great apartment and a great base for a couple of nights!
The apartment is quite spacious and very comfortable and central location, we really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

I am familiar with this part of Faro, and love how central it is to everything. Great location as you can walk to everywhere easily. The apartment was lovely, and a huge space, as its fairly new everything is still in a very good condition. The bathroom is huge too! Great hosts, Great price
