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 AmericaNeed instructions in operating some of the new appliances. The front entrance is located right next to a restaurant which makes it awkward in entering and leaving the premises when customers are sitting right near the building entrance
This property is located in the best part of Porto in front of the Douro River --very beautiful and scenic. It is close to the different hubs of public transportation, restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. The beds were comfortable and you can control the temperatures in the rooms easily.

United KingdomNot sure if we would have had an option to take one with a balcony overlooking the river and paying more as that would have made it even better. 2 towels for a week for 2 people is a bit low. Luckily we brought a couple of our own. Also a few other things like cutlery could have had more. A few easy to fix niggle things such as the balcony door mechanism, leaking shower head, socket not working. A few negatives but otherwise great.
Location is perfect. Apartment was clean and spacious. Quiet considering the location. Had a great time!

United KingdomGreat location. The flat is very nice - it has open plan kitchenette and living room, and a separate bedroom. Small but ok bathroom. Views of river from the side - not front. Claims it has balcony but that is not the case - there is a tiny 'ledge' which is no balcony. Living room has a sofa bed that pulls out but make sure to ask the to provide bedding for this (we did not have it on first night).

CanadaDefinitely could have been cleaner and better prepared for guests.
The location was great! The bottle of wine and box of mini tea biscuits was a nice touch. My friend and I booked this apartment for 4 nights in Porto. We arrived to a musty smelling apartment and the sofa bed was not prepared for us. It was assumed by the property us 2 gals would be sharing the same bed. Communication with the company is through a third party who has to contact their “Team” to deal with any request. We managed to find a mattress protector on the upper shelf in the bedroom and a duvet in the closet. There was also a pillow in the closet but no pillow case. It was very stained and in my opinion not usable. The bedroom had enough for us to share between the 2 sleeping areas. The apartment is stocked with the bare minimum. Only 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel per person is provided. We did ask for a second set and was told they only provide 1 per stay, no matter how long the stay is. When we asked if we could pay to have more, the response was they had to contact their cleaning team to find out the cost. In the end we made do. Enough coffee was provided for 2 mornings and only 2 rolls of toilet paper. This apartment is small and only set up for a 2 night stay maximum.

CanadaIt needs a deep cleaning. Being located near the sea and in an older building there is a mold buildup along the ceiling protruding into both the living room and bedroom and along the wall. The ceilings are at least 12 feet high. It’s not something that can be done between quick turnarounds. The mold needs to be removed and the rooms repainted before the start of the busy tourist season.

SwedenThe room has issues with humidity. Clothing feels damp, even when hung in the closet. The bathroom tiles and the ceilings of the hotel room show damage from humidity and moisture.
The location of the hotel was incredible. You open the front door and are instantly greeted by the Douro. We liked the layout of the apartment - a good kitchenette, living room, bathroom, and bedroom. There was no staff to meet on-site, but the hotel was great at communicating important information through Booking.com without us having to reach out with any questions. Will definitely book this again!

FranceMore blankets or duvets for the chilly weather, but the electric wall-mounted heaters worked. Parents of children should be aware that the windows and balcony doors are opened by swing handles and have no locks.
Great location. Many of the sights were within easy walking distance. Excellent View of the Douro River from the second floor apartment.

United States of AmericaWe were traveling and did not have good access to email or wi-fi. I requested in advance information on how to access the property and did not receive the information I was looking for. The lack of information made check-in more difficult than it should have been.
We stayed at two properties by LovelyStay during a 9-day trip to Portugal. This was the second of two properties we stayed at during our trip. Loved the location and especially the view of the river and Vila Nova de Gaia. LovelyStay actively communicates with you through the booking.com app and responds to questions or concerns pretty quickly. We arrived to find a bottle of wine and some snacks awaiting us--I'm not sure if that is standard practice or due to some problems we experienced during our first stay at a LovelyStay property in Lisbon.

We were initially disappointed the view was very limited but got used to not having much. It did not look as good as the photos but was comfortable and we were able to cook which was great as with travelling we get tired of eating out. The bed was very comfortable.
