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.).

PortugalI just didn´t like one thing in the hostel and it was the ventilation noise in the bathroom every time you turn on the lights, it was very loud.
The room was very clean and comfortable, the beds were good and the overall room space was pleasant. The breakfast was very good, in the rooftop with a spectacular view of the city. The staff is 5 stars quality, very friendly and nice. Recommend this place to all my friends and family for sure...

SwedenTwo things i can complain about *The walls are really thin so you hear the others very well in an annoying way *The breakfast was more to wish for, was simple but simple in a bad way. Or atleast for me
Lovely staff and lovely room. It was a wonderful room, with a small balcony with a wonderful view over the city. Pretty close to the city also.

LuxembourgEverything was excellent, just a sugestion. Instead of a list of restaurants and places to visit, we think that a visual plan of the city, especially of the historical center would be good to have a fast overview which makes easier the orientation. In other towns of Europe, it s a standard and offered to the hotels by the tourist officm.
Penedo de Saudade Suites is an amazing location. The villa is well restored with a lot of taste and art. Our room was spacy, perfectly clean and with all comfort you need to feel cosy. The stuff is very friendly, attentive and try to respond to the needs of the guests. The roof terrace for breakfast with an amazing view of Coimbra is one if the highlights of this location. You normally find a parking place in the street so that you don‘t need to reserve a parking place. When you stay at Coimbra, we highly recomend to spend a Fado evening at a Capella, with dinner or just a drink. Thanks to the stuff for our great stay. This location is the place to be when you visit Coimbra. Tania & Rudi

NetherlandsWe were lucky to have stayed in a room with great view of the city. The hotel is located on a hill close to the Botanical Garden and to the University of Coimbra. So it goes without saying you need a bit of fitness for going up the hill, but that is Portugal.The hotel is quiet and located in a nice mansion. Breakfast was good, unfortunately not earlier than 7am.

United KingdomLet’s be clear: it isn’t a full facility hotel, so no bar or restaurant other than breakfast. Used by students and groups as a hostel so can be noisy. Wide range of rooms, so book with care and try to talk to them direct, so expectations are met. It is located high on the hill,so be prepared for that
Location with great views, spacious room with large balcony, tea and coffee maker, good bathroom, good breakfast on roof and roof terrace. Quiet location with those great views, but easy access to the university and town.

I loved the decor of the whole place, the spacious room, with lots of natural light and a beautiful view. The breakfast selection, the presentation and attention to detail of the whole building.. Loved meeting Ema, Gabriela and Isabel. They were very kind and willing to help in any way they could. I only stayed for one night but walked away feeling that I had made 3 new friends. Their hospitality is amazing. I will be back for sure and absolutely recommend the Penedo da Saudade Hostel and Suites to anyone who values a very clean, beautiful and very well located place that feels like Home!
