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 KingdomThere was no furniture on the terrace when we arrived. It would have been nice to be able to sit outside and take in the views and atmosphere.
Brilliant location with adjacent carpark for our motorbikes. We easily walked to all the main sites. We arrived early and Jorge went out of his way to get us in even with the cleaner, who was still in the apartment, working round us while we dumped our stuff and changed. The apartment, is everything you need for a short break. Beautiful views along the river and the sunset was amazing.

AustraliaThe only thing that was annoying was a light fitting which hung near the table in the lounge room. It was too low and very hard to avoid.
The view is just sensational and we took every opportunity to just sit and take it all in. The location is pretty central and we could access either the lower or upper deck of the Luiz 1st Bridge to cross into the main town. I was worried it might be noisy but the windows were very effective in minimising the tram and traffic noise. We were also lucky with some great busking just below us. The apartment itself is spacious, the beds comfortable and the bathroom and shower were great.

The location and view near the bridge were amazing!! Host was friendly and made sure we got in our place as soon as we got there, although only connected by phone (never met in person).

United KingdomEntrance through car park
The apartment is beautiful and comfortable with a breathtaking view of the dazzling river Douro.... the both Bedrooms have on suite showrooms and the river view. Location is great with a lots of restaurants, bars and convenient shops. The old city is walking distance from apartment..... In summary, it is wonderful apartment to stay if you would like to visit Porto, Portugal. Downsides of the flat are 1) difficulty to get to local car park if you would drive 2) the entrance of Flat is a bit unique where you have to go through car park....
