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.).

PortugalThe pool both in room and resort were FREEZING. To the point where the kids who usually don't care didn't want to get in. That really impacted our stay. The hotel is 20mins from Evora, just something to work into your overall plan, its not right next door.
Great stay with kids, so many cute little touches like a teddy bear in the room, robes in their sizes, a little table to draw on next to reception check-in, kids club etc - they've thought about it a lot. Good varied menu for kids and nice wood fire oven pizzas. The villa was perfect for staying with kids.

Amazing hotel. Our family had such a fantastic time. The pool area is great. The activities for kids are superb. We enjoyed a private sunset picnic experience also which was magical. The town of Évora is also beautiful and well worth a visit. One of the best hotels we have stayed at

United KingdomLots of flies at dinner and breakfast - all over the food especially at breakfast/dinner buffet. This could be sorted by keeping doors to restaurant closed. It is probably not an issue a lot of the time but maybe just height of summer issue?

PortugalTHE RESTAURANT! It’s most definitely not at Octant/À Terra standards! I’ve been to a few of the properties and by far this one is the most disappointing. The menu does not offer a lot of options, specifically at lunch/afternoon and pool time. At lunch time is absolute madness. The waiting time is unreasonable and the quality underwhelming! I’ve asked for a simple bifana… it took way too long for a small, tasteless and COLD sandwich to come. As much as the staff at the bar tried to help and make sure I would get my meal on time, the kitchen was taking way too long, messing up the orders and leaving some of the prepared ones in the corner waiting for too long (mine included). Dinner menu is ok, and the food was nicely prepared both times Ive eaten there - I’ve avoided the rush hour though. Having experienced the restaurants at other Octant hotels in Portugal, this is very disappointing!!
The hotel has nice facilities. Everything is in great condition, lots of options when it comes to the outside areas. Having a kids free zone at the pool is definitely a bless, since the hotel was packed with families. It can be a bit overwhelming for the guest who don’t share the same interests. The staff was absolutely delightful! As in most Octant hotels in Portugal, most of the team is composed of younger members, whom have been very helpful, caring and friendly throughout my stay. All of them, with no exception, have been great. I would like to give a special shoutout to Vitor, who was charismatic, kind, hardworking and always a good laugh! The rooms were impeccably clean and in good conditions. We were given all the amenities needed for a short stay.

PortugalSome areas have a bit of a hospital feel about them, clinical and cold corridors. The bedroom floors were a bit strange, like a plastic straw carpet.
Outdoor pools open 24 hours. The food is amazing too.

United KingdomOur only downside was the room we were given was next to the outdoor bins, not the most beautiful view and noisy on collection mornings. A shame really.
Beautiful spacious grounds with lots of little pockets of interest and beauty to admire or relax in. Lovely modern interior. Some outdoor areas didn’t seem open / were under construction (additional eating areas/ kids playground)? therefore would be great to go back to see the developments. Great to have the range of pools (adults/kids/indoor) especially for some peacefulness and when it was too hot outside!

PortugalOctant Hotel Évora exceeded our best expectations and definitely we will return. The villas with pool are excellent, specially if the weather is good (which was not the case). Nevertheless we had a good time in family. One recommendation is you must install fast chargers for electrical vehicles as in the surroundings there are any.
