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.).

United StatesSadly, we never got to meet our hostess as she was ill. But her daughter ( we think) came by and was so friendly (altho with very limited English...which just made it a little challenging). But nevertheless, our needs were seen to with a bright smile!
Great location. Rooms and property as advertised.

United StatesWe liked it all!
We really enjoyed our stay! The views of the surrounding hills and vinyards are incredible. Both uncluttered bedrooms are large, with large beds, and have attatched bathrooms and air conditioning units. The living room is small, but has a nice modern sofa with a large footrest and a lovely view. The eat-in kitchen is quite large and feels like it is someone's home, with pottery displayed and antique chairs and china hutch. It is very quiet. Outside there is an amazing view, a small above ground pool and a large covered area with a bbq and lots of seating (perhaps too much, it would be more elegant with less furniture). Less than 10 min walk to a wonderful local restruant (the vintage caffe) with a fixed menu. They set up a table for 4 outside and brought several courses of delicuous family style food with port tonics and wine. We ate there twice because it was worth repeating.

ItalyThe showers have a problem with the flowing out of the water and the small swimming pool badly needs a new ladder, since the existing one is broken.
The location is great. Wonderful view on the hills. The rooms are large, the kitchen very well equipped. The landlady was very nice and made our laundry. Animals lovers will like the friendly cat and the small dog who like to hang around. Sitting outside looking at the sunset was very nice.

United StatesThe owners were not on the property beyond welcoming us and when the TV was not working we had a hard time reaching them. The only other thing was that the setting was so steep it was was hard to do much walking around the property.
Absolutely gorgeous setting, at the top of a hill outside Pinhao with terraced vineyards and amazing sunsets. The apartment was really roomy and comfortable and they left us a lot of food. The views were amazing and the drive up and down the mountain were fun.

PortugalThe house was clean and very comfortable. Two big rooms each with their own private bathroom. The kitchen is big and well equipped. Carla was very friendly en responsive and always helped with our requests and questions. The outside terrace is very large, with barbecue equipment, plenty of seating and a small pool, and of course a beautiful view over the valley. The little town is very charming and a short downhill walk or drive. Pinhão is less than 10 minutes away, which makes it the perfect spot to see and experience the best of the Douro. We will stay here again on our next visit to the Douro Valley.

This gem of a property is in the heart of the Pinhao Valley in the most breathtaking scenery. Off road parking which we wanted. The owner was charming and generous, nothing was too much trouble. 2 very comfortable, modern ensuite bedrooms with air con. Fully equipped kitchen, requires a little updating, had everything we needed. Surface pool and covered BBQ area with table, we cooked outside and enjoyed the spectacular views. Good location for visiting quintas and towns.. Great value for money!

PortugalThe hostess said she was ill and could not meet us (after reading other reviews it seems this happens regularly). This was an issue for us as there was no running water in the house and temperatures were above 40C. Several messages left on her answering machine went unanswered. The second day she responded to say that someone would come and check what was happening with water. Nobody came. On leaving, after 3 days without water, the owner came before check-out but did not attempt to speak to us. We went to her and she expressed surprise that there was still no water. All in all, really bad communication.
Location was superb with a great view over Vale de Mendez and the vineyards. The house was roomy, tidy and had basic equipment.

NetherlandsThe patio outside is messy, the beds are squeaky and also one of the shower was clogged. Cleaning can be better. Potentially a superb location, but it needs more love and maintenance. Good to know that you will need a car to go to Pinhao. Services like Uber aren't available.
The view is wonderful and the kitchen has lots of utilities.

AustraliaNo washing machine, although ad states there is one, all bowls were chipped, pool was filthy, black mould on kitchen roof, shower leaks all over bathroom floor, on main road so noisy in the day, terrible pillows. This place needs some money spent on it to bring it up to scratch- it’s very tired and might be reasonable value for two couples but is expensive for one couple considering the state of things. The owner did say she was unwell so I’m not sure of this affected overall cleanliness. It’s surrounded by vineyards so Nepalese workers come and go- that didn’t worry us. Pool decking made from pallets, ladder seems rusty- seems a bit unsafe. A few lights need replacing.
Good location about ten minutes from Pinhao with great views. Spacious inside and out, food provisions given, bed was comfortable.
