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 KingdomNothing.
The breakfast included was very good and all the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We arrived a few hours before checkin to drop our bags off which was no issue and we were offered breakfast while we where there at no additional cost. Food and drinks in the accommodation were great and it was a 5 minute stroll from the centre of Tavira. Rooms were clean and the housekeeping was exceptional. It has a lovely roof terrace with great views and they offer different activities on site e.g. yoga, wine tastings. Whilst the pool was relatively small, some rooms come with their own private pool. There is a huge beach a 15 minute ferry trip away which is recommended.

United KingdomNot enough drawer storage in our bedroom. The breakfast tea was disappointing (try Yorkshire Tea and you’d get 10/10), the coffees (even the cappuccino, latte, etc) weren’t great either. The light and mirror arrangement in our room was so poor that my wife had to do her makeup stood outside. The hotel is on a steep hill and there are many steps inside and out which didn’t affect us, but it could rule out anyone with mobility issues. And finally, there is a lot of road noise and traffic from the bus station opposite, which is to be expected from a town centre hotel.
The friendly team, design style, location, restaurant, rooftop bar, pool and food are all great

NetherlandsOur only complaint was we shut off one light and could not find the switch to get it back on! Our room was a bit tricky with stairs and the light was on the stairs so it made walking up and down the stairs tricky late at night. But we could have asked we just didn’t think about it when we left the room!
I am really not sure there is anything to not like here! The hotel is incredible- beautiful rooms, some even with private pools (which is what we had). The food was outstanding, breakfast service was wonderful (no rushing to be down in time). It was paradise.

United KingdomThe menu for dinner . Food was disappointing at dinner. Asked for a small plate of cheese rather than a big platter and I wasn’t allowed. Asked for something off the snack menu. Wasn’t allowed. The starters were delicious as was the lbv port I had with dessert. Mains were poor imo. Tough duck one night. Very cold out of the fridge mushrooms with steak another. We had better food in town but the surroundings were better than elsewhere. This was the only reason we didn’t give this place 10/10. We loved it overall.
Almost absolutely everything . In particular the exceptionally friendly and helpful people. The pool was just lovely to have . Rooms comfy although if I’d gone with a friend I wouldn’t have liked the lack of privacy with the shower and toilet set up. Loved the quirkiness . Great to have cake always available.

IrelandAbsolutely nothing.
The property was indeed a Charm House. Spectacular room (Chapel, Gabriel), very large and beautifully decorated. Bathroom had great water pressure. There is a small private patio to sit outside the room. The pool and decking is spotless, with ample lounge chairs and umbrellas. Restaurant, indoors and outside dining and rooftop are all so well laid out, spacious and elegant. The food was divine, breakfast each day is so filling, with constant offers of more. Fresh fruit, yogurt, different homemade jams each day, fresh juice, cheeses galore, sliced meat, great menu!
