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 parking is a little difficult, but manageable.
The breakfast was a wonderful surprise! Homemade jellies, butter and bread. Fresh eggs from their farm, and fresh squeezed orange juice. Really sweet and polite staff who really cared about our stay. Luis is a spectacular host and has made his great, great grandfather's home into a special one of a kind stay. Amazing value for the money, I have spent twice as much and received much less in return. I will be going back next time I'm in Coimbra.

Breakfast was delicious with fresh eggs, croissants, fruit, juice, coffee etc plus a fresh cake baked in the afternoon to enjoy. Rooms were clean and comfortable bed.

United StatesThe history and the beautiful buildings and the farm on-site were exceptional. The service from the welcome to the breakfast was above average. I would recommend this location to anyone visiting Coimbra, it’s close enough to visit all the sites but out enough to be quiet.

AustraliaThe room was quite small, but we were hardly there.
The breakfast was fruit, pastries, scrambled egg, cake, preserves, very generous and served at the table. The host was very helpful in suggesting restaurants. It was very easy to drive into the town & park in a large free undercover car park by the bridge. The weather wasn’t good, so we didn’t take advantage of the outdoor area or pool, but it looked nice.

United StatesThe property has been in the same family for over 3 generations. Luís and his brother did a wonderful job of updating all the facilities while keeping the authentic charm and ambience of a Portuguese home and farm. The staff were great, the breakfasts were all homemade and organic, and the location perfect for easy jaunts into Coimbra.

New ZealandNothing not to love
It was a real privilege to stay at Oryza Guest House. Not only is it very beautiful, it is full of history. Edgar and Luis are wonderful hosts who are very happy to share the history of the house and also help you with anything you may need to know. The breakfast was amazing...with fresh produce (eggs, berries, figs etc) from the abundant gardens and orchard attached to the property. It is only a 5 minute drive to free parking and then a 3 minute walk into the historical centre of Coimbra...or even easier a 5 euro (approx) uber. Coimbra is a very beautiful city and well worth visiting. We would happily have stayed longer at Oryza and I highly recommend to others.
