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.).

AustraliaNothing to dislike here.
Peace and tranquility but close to everything. The children loved the dogs and horses. Pedro was extremely welcoming and attentive. Loved the free bikes and table tennis. Kids barely used their devices which was the best part! Highly recommend for anyone seeking some relaxation away from the crowds of Faro.

This is the most gorgeous, perfectly Algarvian place ever! I want to move in! The rooms were perfect, with everything you could possibly ask for. The decor was lovely, and outside, the facades and pool were just stunning. On a working farm, it was a delight to have dogs, cows and birds all around us. I cannot fault this place at all, and we will most definitely be back! Pedro was the perfect host -- as friendly as can be! Thank you!

SerbiaIn the apartment everything is quite old and not in great shape. Forget to cook anything, the whole kitchen accessories are pretty cheap and if you try you will have some issues. We spend only the nights inside but it would be nice to be more comfortable.
The concept is nice, you come in the properties like this to relax and to enjoy in the nature. Also there are table tennis, darts, bicycles - not in great condition but you can use it. Also there are animals - cows and horses to enjoy with them or to ride if you want. The owner Pedro is super helpful.

United StatesThat I couldn't stay longer!
Loved the marsh land estuaries, the walks, farm animals and distance from town. I felt I could be in two kinds of Portugal on one trip. The smells and the vast sky scenery were a beautiful rural experience. I would recomend a car but being solo and fit I enjoyed the walk to the main road, getting the bus into Faro or getting a Bolt service. It was simply lovely and peaceful.

United KingdomWe would recommend having a hire car as it is very much out of the way here. There is a seafood restaurant and an all you can eat Chinese within walking distance, but aside from that there isn’t a shop or supermarket. We made use of Uber which is very cheap and quick. An Uber to Faro is around €6.50 and arrives within 5 minutes, so it’s not an issue. We went to Faro twice, Olhão and Loule via Uber - also for our trip to and from the airport. Personally we like being off the beaten track, and not in the thick of the tourist areas and if that’s the case you will love it here!
We had such a lovely stay here. Pedro’s hosting is second to none! He met us with the warmest of smiles, and a welcome tour of what he could show us in the dark. Throughout our stay we asked for a few things (whether my son could come and join us for a few days, extra towels for my son, how to work the washing machine, details of a takeaway that delivered to Herdade) and everything was always without issue, and quick responses! Pedro is honestly the most incredible host, but perfect as he also very much leaves you to your own devices and is not at all intrusive. He also came down to see us as we left, and this just felt so personal. We stayed in Flamingo, which is the middle apartment. The facilities are great. The kitchen is well equipped, we managed to cook every day. The bed was comfortable, and there are plenty of extra blankets and pillows in the wardrobe. Lots of hangers and drawers available for clothing. There is a dining table in the kitchen, a picnic bench in the back garden/terrace area, and a small table out the front of the apartment - so plenty of places to choose where you eat. The pool area is lovely, my son went in, but it was a bit cold for me and my partner so we just dipped our feet 😂 The weather was great at around 27 everyday! We made use of almost all of the facilities whilst here. The BBQ was great, with plenty of space. My partner cooked on there and it was delicious! Again, Pedro offered him help which was super kind. We played ping pong quite a lot, it’s a great past time and had us laughing like kids! There is a great coffee machine with pods in the communal area which is only 50 cents a go, there are also a few picnic benches, and a huge fridge freezer here (there are ice packs in this freezer which a very helpful to keep your drinks cool when you head out). Then you’ll find the bikes, there are a few different options, we chose the ones with the big comfortable seats and they were perfect!

Beautiful location, just a short drive away from Faro Airport. Close to faro and a couple of other smaller towns, with plenty of amenities close by. Very private and secure feel to the area, with beautiful scenery and excellent facilities. The host was lovely, extremely approachable, and happy to advise on anything we needed. I would suggest you need to be driving as the location is set a little back from any modes of public transport. We took 2 young children who enjoyed the pool and played football on the all-weather pitch, spent time with various animals, including horses and bulls. There were bikes and other activities for children to use free of charge, as well as a ping pong table and so on. Would certainly return were I ever to stay in and around Faro again. Thank you
