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.).

Super quiet setting in nature, even though it's sitting right on the old N2, but there is almost zero traffic. Room was good, the restaurant is truly excellent. Good honest food, well prepared, friendly service.

United KingdomMost of the meals were good but we would have liked some lighter alternatives in the evening - obviously very Portuguese but the portions were huge and we never managed to finish a meal which felt wasteful.
I have never stayed anywhere so clean! Breakfast was good, although repetitive - would have been nice to have a bit of variety. Excellent coffee and real value for money. A huge variety of local people visited including the Sunday bikers. Great for people watching! The staff were terrific and although some were a bit shy with their English to start with they soon relaxed with us as we tried to learn some of their language.

LuxembourgAlthough the hotel is located on the main road, it is quiet. The food in the hotel restaurant is delicious. The host Sandra was very friendly and helpful. The room we received unfortunately smelled of moisture, when we told her that she immediately gave us another room.

United KingdomThe room felt very damp and it didn't help that other than the shower room window (which was small), one couldn't leave a window open without the door being open as well. There was an old ginger cat (a Tom, I think) outside so I was worried he might come in and spray the room if I left the door open. The staff were unwelcoming and grouchy - despite my efforts, I couldn't get a smile out of the receptionist/lady who served breakfast. The pool was so heavily chlorinated that I had to take another shower after going in, to get the smell off my skin. I missed eating any supper as the restaurant never seemed to open - it was only next morning when I took breakfast that I realised, when not busy, food is served in the breakfast area. There was also no internet in the rooms - only in the main building and in the outside seating area by the car park. All in all a disappointing stay for somwewhere that seemed to promise so much.
The room looked the same as in the pictures - modernised and up to date. The bedding was good and the bed comfortable. The shower room was clean and worked well. The pool was spotless and the sitting area around it was well maintained and very pleasant. The surrounding terrain is interesting with lots of hills though driving through it is tiring as there are so many twists and turns. Breakfast was tasty and very good with fruit, breads, ham and cheese.

NetherlandsWIFI is not very stable.....swallow's were nesting above my entrance door and you had to pay attention to get into the room clean ;-) It is a bit far from the beaches (25 minutes) but I knew before booking.
It is a hidden gem along the national road N2....if u want to relax and eat very well...this is the place to be....the bed is comfy, TV has international channels and there is a huge walk in shower with a good water pressure....breakfast is well taken care off and the restaurant for dinner is excellent....service with a smile...

BelgiumThe room was a bit smelly (humidity). Only one seat. Space outside all covered with concrete, not prepared for guests, no green, no shade, so that you either have to stay in the small room or the restaurant. Therefore, not suited for longer stays. 1-2 nights max. Good starting point for hikes.
Quiet because rooms are not in the same building as the restaurant. Very good restaurant with good value for money.

United KingdomPerfect location on the N2 as a base for our local motorcycle touring. Other than Fuel Station (opposite) there is not much around but again we found this ideal given the excellent food, wine and friendly hospitality. Accommodation is simple but very clean and comfortable. Looking forward to going back.

United KingdomWould have liked more choice at breakfast.. it was very meaty..
Really enjoyed staying at Cantinhi Da Serra. The staff were very friendly and the pool area was wonderful... and not busy. The room was fairly spacious and clean. We ate in the restaurant and had a fabulous meal which was not expensive. It got busy though probably because it was so good. Loved the fact that the locals used the place too, and it seemed authentically Portuguese. Would love to stay there again.
