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.).

SpainEverything was great, especially for the price. It exceeded my expectations. I would bring my own hair dryer next time as theirs was kinda weak and a pain to use (I have a lot of hair) as you have to hold down a button when operating it and my hand kept getting tired. There’s no pool although they have space for it in the garden area. A pool would be a nice addition.
Amazing price for the quality. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The breakfast was FANTASTIC, the staff was genuinely kind and friendly and spoke great English and Spanish to my group, switching between languages with ease. Also they changed our towels and made our beds daily, something a lot of other hotels have stopped doing since the pandemic unless you specifically request it.

United KingdomI do not recommend this hotel if you are not renting a car. It is quite difficult to get around by foot, it can take a minimum of 40 minutes to get to the centre of porto by foot. There is a bus stop close by so it does compensate in that regard. The staff wasn't so friendly but they did do their job
The room is clean and the breakfast is pretty good! Has a decent selection of foods. My room had a great view and I really enjoyed that! You can see a beautiful sunset. I slept well, although you can easily hear the other rooms on each side so if you are sensible to noise maybe not the greatest option.

PortugalThis time for some reason we were given a room with a bathroom that had not been completely cleaned. Went downstairs to ask about it and they promptly changed us to another room and I checked that and that bathroom had not been completely cleaned. So the third time staff walked up with me to find a third bedroom that was appropriately cleaned. First time we've ever experienced this with Ibis.
We like you just because we usually know what to expect small but clean rooms and a nice selection of food for breakfast.

United StatesThe location only works if you have a car, otherwise is difficult to access and not easy to walk around. Hotel rooms are extremely small and basic. Did have a nice view of the river and city, but would probably pay a bit more to stay even at the hotel right across that is part of the same chain.
The property is clean and has an excellent breakfast. Parking is easy. Most staff were friendly.

GermanyAs a vegan person with some food restrictions (gluten and lactose), the food options were poor or nonexistent. With the wide variety of plant-based food, the hotel would win a lot by making those available for their guests.
The room had all the necessary commodities and the staff was quite friendly and polite. Everything was spotless clean and the bed was comfortable. We had a nice view towards the Douro river and one of the bridges.

SloveniaThe hotel rooms at the Ibis Hotel in Porto were very clean, bed linen and towels were changed regularly. The rooms were a bit small, we missed a shelf or a closet where we could put our clothes. The breakfast was quite rich, we were satisfied with a large selection of pastries, bread and fruit. There was also a nice selection of teas, jams, about five different salamis and cheeses, yogurts, cottage cheese, etc. So on the day of our early departure, we were quite disappointed with the contents of the early morning takeaways. When we ordered them the night before we left, we specifically asked for sandwiches, fruit - we specifically wanted bananas and some juice. We only got 2 small pieces of sweet pastry, no sandwiches, one orange was rotten, so was one pear. Oranges are hard to peel if you're traveling, while bananas are much easier to eat on the go. Unfortunately, we only opened the packages at the airport and were disappointed with both the quantity and the content and quality of the prepared breakfast packages. The bar staff were quite unresponsive in terms of serving drinks in the evenings when we sat in the lobby.

United KingdomThe room was 'compact' to say the least, in fact rather claustrophobic, with a very little, open fronted, wardrobe space and no other clothes storage, so our clothes remained in our suitcases, which were tucked under the desk.
The location was good for our visit to Porto, and the receptionist was outstanding in helping us to make the most of our visit. She really made the difference to our short stay. The hotel is very modern and the breakfast was excellent, and the provision of power points for lap-tops/phones was good.
