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 KingdomIt's not the Ritz in terms of decor and modernity, some of the fittings (e.g. bathroom door handle) were a bit worn but for the price it's overall great value.
It's excellent value for money. There's aircon that works well. It's an old character building and the beds are comfy enough. There is free parking very closely located outside. A good location for exploring the town. It's pet-friendly with no extra/ hidden charges. The staff are very helpful and amiable.

Great value, Daniel was really friendly and helpful and spoke good English. A very nice location, great for dogs, free parking right opposite property, easy to find. There is a lovely restaurant within 1 mins walk, supermarket right nearby 1 min walk, fridge and microwave for guests to use. Stairs no problem for us or our dog! Lovely visit to Elvas. Highly recommend. Many thanks

United StatesAlcamim Guesthouse is located right outside the old town which makes it great for those arriving with car (there is a free municipal car park right across the street - no need to drive into old center with tiny one-way confusing roads) and for walking to all the sights on foot. Staff was friendly and helpful - watched our bags until check-in and provided directions to sights. Our room was cozy but there were very comfortable Tempur-Pedic feeling beds and water pressure/temperature (ie plenty of hot water) was great. Our room was street facing so my husband heard street noise during the night but as I regularly sleep with earplugs, I was fine and slept well. Highly recommend, would stay again.

ThailandIt's a little bit difficult to open the property door, maybe we are not used to the old key and old lock.
Free parking close to the property. No kitchen but drinking water (hot& cold), coffee, tea are provided in the lobby. Glasses, wine glasses, forks, spoons are available. We got a big room on second floor with good view.

SloveniaMaybe the management should consider the pricing policy for pets; just a suggestion: take a deposit (25-30% of the room fee,) and then, if no "accidents" or damages happened, just refund the tourists.
The location of the old (but recovered) building in the small town of Elvas is excellent. The service and rhe staff were impecable - thanks for all the kind support.

SpainAs stated in the description, bear in mind that there is no elevator. We were aware of this, so it was not a problem for us.
Everything was expected: nice and clean room. Check-in was easy and the person in charge of that was kind. It is located close to a parking that is free for now, which was very convenient, and not too far away from the historic center. We had a nice stay, and, considering the price we paid, very good quality/price rate.

I chose the guesthouse as a last minute addition to my journey as I really wanted to return to explore Elvas. The location is ideal as it sits within the city walls and offers the chance to stay within an authentic Portuguese townhouse. The room was more than adequate though I always prefer my own kettle and tea-making facilities in a room whereas the guesthouse offers this in a communal space. Really the location and cost were spot on.
