Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

If you are visiting the Douro, you need to stay at this beautiful guest house. The views from the property are out of this world. The owners, Ines and Filipe, go out of their way to accommodate their guests, and their kind hospitality is what makes this place special. We would definitelyyyy choose to stay here again!

United States of AmericaThis hotel was a top highlight of our trip to Portugal. The pictures don't do this view justice; it is fantastic. Our host was amazing and treated us like family. The room had an exceptional view, and the hot tub, pool, and lounge area were amazing. I was so sad to leave! Also, originally, I thought that this was not in as central of a location in the Douro Valley. After having visited, I think that the location is one of the best in the valley and possibly the best view in the Douro Valley.

CanadaWe sincerely cannot find any faults only that we should had stayed for a second night.
We loved everything about the property. From the moment we stepped away from the car and seeing Filip walking out of the house welcoming us to his home with a warm smile. First time this happened to us in our 4 months of travelling through Europe and Morocco using hotels and Airbnbs. Such a nice feeling of true hospitality compare to the many un personal “lock box” properties we encountered in our travels. To have this kind of hotel hospitality is something Airbnb will never achieve. Filip helped us with our bags and invited us to his lobby where we were treated to a glass of smooth port produced by his neighbour. The high mountain side location of the property is fantastic. It offers a 180 degrees view down on the Douro Valley with superb sunrises and sunsets. We could see the river cruises flowing down the river. The rooms were sparkling clean and the breakfast offered was mostly from the local food producers. On top of all this Filip succeeded in getting us a restaurent reservation despite our late arrival.

United States of AmericaOut of all of the places we stayed in Portugal (we toured the entire country) Imaginario D’El Rei was our favorite! Philip was very hospitable and went out of his way to make sure all of our needs were met. He helped us learn more about the culture and drove us to a local restaurant, Convívio, in Mesão Frio, where we experienced Northern Portugese food at its finest! The views were spectacular. We enjoyed the hammocks overlooking Douro Valley, hot tub, infinity pool, and delicious breakfast buffet. The suite was immaculately clean and the bed very comfortable. The sunrise was spectacular. The location is very convenient as it only took a few minutes to drive into Pinhao for a river cruise or to visit a local vineyard. We did not want to leave as the experience was one of a kind and we truly felt at home. When we visit Portugal again, we will be staying here!

CanadaI can't think of a thing they can do to improve this place.
The view was breathtaking, the pool was beautiful, although we didn't use it because it wasn't warm enough. We did use the jacuzzi. But the host, Filipe, was the best. He truly made us feel as though we were guests in his home. They call it a guest house and it truly is a guest house. On first arriving, we felt we had mistakenly pulled up to a private residence. It is a common misconception, and something they aim for. Filipe gave us recommendations for dinner, and even recommended places to visit and eat in Porto which we took advantage of and were truly blown away by the experiences. We also enjoyed the beautiful breakfast they put on. I only wish we had booked a longer stay here.

LithuaniaEveryhing was perfect. The hosts were very welcoming, the atmosphere at the hotel is very cozy, feels like home. The facilities were also great - the pool and jacuzzi were very nice even in the colder season (we were here in March). Very nice and filling breakfast - toast, eggs, hams, cheeses, yoghurt, fruit, freshly baked scones and pies etc… The room is minimalistic, with stylish furniture, all you need. Overall feel at the hotel is that a lot of thought and heart went into it. The location is beautiful - amazing views from the room as well as beautiful nature and attractions nearby.

Everything was really good! Shame that it was too cold to experience the magnificent swimming pool.
