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.).

United KingdomNothing at all
Incredibly elegant reception rooms along the first floor - like staying in a royal palace. Modern bedrooms are so comfortable and equipped with tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge! A Terra restaurant served a delicious meal but the vegetarian options are rather limited. The spa was amazing - only accommodates 8 people but if you’re one of them you will be completely relaxed. This is a great find.

United KingdomThe hotel has a nice spa that we hoped to use. But the hotel seems attractive to families and there didn't seem to be adult only hours. As such, we didn't find a quiet time to use it.
The breakfast was great, the room was very comfortable and the staff was super attentive. Great location as a base to explore the Aldeias de Xisto.

PortugalNot everything is perfect about the service: they won’t give you a wine list at dinner in the restaurant if not asked to, and might forget something. Spa is basically a playground for children - no chance to relax in peace
Great place and ambiance, opportunity to immerse oneself in nature

GermanyDear reader Even though I don't usually give reviews because they are usually subjective, I would like to give one now. I stayed at this beautiful hotel together with a work colleague in CW12 2024. We were given a very warm welcome, almost like a family, and you could see how everyone looked after the guests. The breakfast was excellent and you got everything you needed the homemade bread or the rolls were very tasty. The restaurant was also very good, for the first time in my life I ate goat, a speciality, I can only recommend trying it. All in all it was a great time on site and I highly recommend this hotel.

United KingdomNothing, everything was great. I didn't visit the spa.
Absolutely everything!! Brilliant check-in from staff - friendly and warm welcoming. It was super cold outside but it was really nice and warm inside. The rooms were really lovely and super comfortable. There was a small, really thoughtful gift on the bed when I arrived. There was also a really lovely body scrub to use (similar to what is used in the spa apparently). The breakfast was brilliant. There was good choice of products: bread, sweets, cheese and everything was top-notch quality. I don't particularly like being served at the table to get coffee but it worked well. These little touches plus the brilliant breakfast make me want to come back!

CroatiaThe hotel is amazing with an excellent breakfast and cocktails. Bed and pillows so comfortable you could sleep all day. What is even more amazing about this place is the staff. Always smiling, helpful and easy going in the best way. They were so helpful in helping us get our delayed luggage and also in ordering a cab early in the morning and facilitating an early breakfast so we could catch our plane. If you are ever in Lousa, you should definitely book this hotel and stay there.
