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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

PortugalNot much at all! I didn’t have an outside bin on site to put my dog poop bag, that would have been nice. I think each room in shared house could have their own outside table. The outside table could be upgraded, it is sagging in the middle. Some outside hanging space for towels and swim ware would be nice. The shower drain in our en-suite was not working very well
Big comfortable family room with a nice en suite and baby cot already set up. Breakfast was perfect, everything we needed Door from room to outside space was very nice . Also lush grass garden at the front of house was very lovely to sit and sunbathe. There were 2 pools to choose from, both very welcome in mid august. the gardens at both main house are wonderful and the games rooms is fun and very comfy. Attitude to dogs is great, very calm and welcoming. Good shared kitchen facilities. Angela took great care of beds and kitchen very clean Even though sharing a kitchen with 2 other families had its challenges it was not a problem at all

United KingdomOur suite was very dark and not really suitable for sleeping four we were rather on top of each other. I don’t mind rustic at all but the furniture is old including the sofa bed which was broken (although they did rectify quickly but their fix meant me couldn’t fold it away) and the mattress on the main bed was an old sprung one and very hard and uncomfortable (again they got us a mattress topper which made it more bearable but still too hard for me). There was only wifi in the games room which isn’t the end of the world but in this day and age some in the room would’ve been helpful! The aircon didn’t reach the bedroom unless we froze the kids so we were all pretty warm.
Lovely location, the pool areas were really nice and the grounds are kept very well, bushes, trees and plants stunning. We liked the breakfast, nice and simple but delicious. The games room was great for the kids and was the only place to pick up wifi. It was a very relaxing stay and the staff were extremely helpful especially when we needed help with some bits in the room. We loved the cats they were adorable.

PortugalMonte dos Pensamentos is an ideal place for a quiet, peaceful vacation! The location is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and the pools are very pleasant, especially to help cope with the heat in summer months. Breakfast was delicious, the highlight being the homemade cakes by Maria. She was lovely, attentive and helpful throughout our stay. Very close to Estremoz, where you can find delicious food and a gorgeous tile museum

PortugalUnfortunately, we did not get the room we booked, but Maria tried to make us feel at home.
Massive property! It has pool, and a lot of outdoor area. Breakfast is included and it was good. Maria was very helpful! Location is good too, close to Estremoz and to some of the best vineyards in the area!

FranceThe air conditioner in the living of the apartment does not work very well. The good news is the one in the bedroom was amazing!!
Absolutely loved this family run typical Portuguese inn. The photos do not do it justice, it’s really so charming. The owner is great, super friendly, funny and very relaxed. Loved the decor a mix of antique and comfort, they rooms were spotlessly clean and the grounds and pool impeccable. Would love to return one day ! Thanks for the lovely stay !!

PortugalWe really enjoyed our short stay. It is a beautiful place with an interesting history and a friendly and accommodating host. The breakfast was well prepared, we had everything that we needed or wanted. The coffee was delicious. The swimming pool looked lovely. It is a shame that we didn't bring our swimwear!

PortugalHonestly nothing
This property is a scam. They put you in an annex that is half a kilometre from the main property. This is done in a very planned way. First they tell you need to pay the full amount and then tell your room is in an annex and they have to drive you there. The annex is really bad and not clean at all. Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else

PortugalOur room was dusty, the bed was uncomfortable and the towels were old and hard like wood. We've travelled in Portugal a lot, and stayed in places that were twice as nice for half the price. We did not think it was good value for money.
The property has a large outdoor space, with plenty of space to run for our dog. The pool area is nice and there is a play room with pool, table football and table tennis which is nice to enjoy after a day exploring Alentejo.
