Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United States of AmericaWe felt a little bit uncomfortable intruding on the personal life of the family living there. The room had some scented items in the bathroom and I’m extremely sensitive to smells, but they were happy to remove it !!
It was a beautiful comfortable, clean. home. The host had parking and the breakfast was exceptional.

PortugalI stayed a wide range of type of accommodations around the world, and I really cannot say anything that they could do better.
Maria's Guesthouse is a family-run, truly unique accommodation. Maria, Paulo and their staff put their hearts and souls into providing an exceptional experience for their guests. The house and the smallest details of the rooms have been created with taste and care. There is a lovely courtyard where you can relax, enjoy the evening and chat. Breakfast was plentiful, very tasty and far exceeded expectations.

United KingdomWe loved our stay at Maria's Guesthouse and were delighted to be able to park so close to the accommodation especially as we were in the middle of a really old town with very small streets to negotiate. The breakfast was simply amazing! To be greeted each morning with so much fresh fruit and gorgeous homemade jams and cakes as well as yogurt, eggs, bacon, sausages, cold meats, local cheeses, warm croissants. We didn't need to eat all day!

Amazing Guesthouse. Central location with parking 2 mins away. Pet friendly. A gorgeous place with beautiful rooms. Each bedroom a different theme associated to Beja history. The interior of the guesthouse is a feast of exquisite antiques with modern art and is a welcoming and lovingly renovated home. Mariana Alcoforado was our bedroom with a view of the castle. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Pastries, fresh fruits, fresh melon juice, yoghurt, cooked meats & cheeses, scrambled eggs and one of the most delicious pumpkin & nut preserves I’ve ever had home made by Paulo. Maria, Paulo & all the family were generous with their warm Portuguese hospitality and ready laughter. A gem of a place.

United States of AmericaParking was limited but easily available a block from the entrance.
Maria’s Guesthouse was right in the center of the charming town of Beja. We arrived a few hours early, called a number on the front door, and Maria came within a few minutes to open her door. The rooms were clean, quite and very comfortable. We relaxed on the courtyard patio then walked around to do some shopping. She and her son Paulo were excellent host and gave us recommendations for dinner that evening at Dom Dinis which was a wonderful Portuguese meal of assorted grilled beef and pork. Awoke the next morning to a beautiful breakfast prepared by Maria and her staff. Best breakfast we had during our 10 days in Portugal!
