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.).

PortugalIn the pool area, there could be more deck chairs, as well as shading areas. For an "exclusive" hotel, they should try and make sure the pool area is not too noisy. We had some guests making a lot of noise, which disturbed everyone else's peace and quiet. The indoor pool is also very noisy. We asked for late checkout, and our room key stopped working two times, which meant a 7min walk back and forth twice to solve the problem.
The pool is big and the view is nice, the deck chairs and mattresses are comfortable. The house are big, silent and private. Breakfast is tasty and has a good amount of options.

AustraliaThe hotel has been allowed to run down, but is currently being worked on. Some facilities need some attention, but this is underway and the place will be exceptional before long.
The range of facilities is marvellous with the rooftop pool being a standout. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the meals were great, but best of all was the staff who were all very helpful, especially Ana at check-in.

PortugalI must note that I was disappointed with the state of disrepair of the room exteriors, which could benefit from some attention to exterior painting.
I was liked my stay at the hotel! The cleanliness, the secluded location with a stunning view of the typical Alentejo landscape, and, in particular, the warmth and courtesy of the staff were absolutely remarkable. The common area of reception and restaurant was equally impressive.

United StatesThe buildings need some tlc and a fresh coat of paint on the outside. There were some other minor aesthetics, like the tile on the tub that needed some attention however everything was indeed clean.
The location on a farmland was peaceful and serene. I enjoyed the separation of room and hotel main lobby. I enjoyed walking from my room outdoors then to the sauna, gym or breakfast. The gym was nice, open space with weights and good cardio equipment. I like the e common space to indoors or was cozy. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.

GermanyBreakfast could offer a little more variation from day to day. Bike rental is a great idea with just 7km to Evora, however 18€/day for a bike won't incentivize people to leave their car in the parking lot.
Secluded location in midst of nature, interesting concept, having small bungalow-style apartments. Well-equipped gym and Spa area. The outdoor pool and rooftop terrace look amazing and are likely super nice in summer

PortugalThe overall infrastructure of the hotel (main building, rooms and landscape) is a bit run down and in need of updates/renovations.
Beautiful architectural project. The studios are nice, with space and privacy. The swimming pool is also good! The restaurant is a bit pricy for what it serves, but the food is good.

MacaoNothing. Maybe breakfast could refill stock faster during busy times.
This is a really beautiful place to relax. Located outside Évora, it feels like it's in the middle of nowhere. Ideal to get away from the tourist filled town but also close enough to drive there for dinner, sightseeing or shopping. Architecture is minimalist, just like the Alentejo landscape. Each room is a little white bungalow (no kitchen) with all amenities one needs and good working A/C, essential in the summer months. Beds are comfortable, staff very friendly and helpful. The pool is on a roof top with a stunning view. Good value for money.

Only one waiter serving the tables during dinner, would have made the experience more pleasant if he would have had help.
