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 KingdomEverything was good . Access to British TV channels could have been a benefit but it wasn't a deal breaker. The English channels that were accessible were adequate for the we stayed in
Great location of the complex; we had the sun on the apartment itself from 10:00 to 4:00pm Paula who met us was brilliant

United KingdomThe bedding, could do with some new pillows and sheets, found it strange there was no duvet cover not sure if that was an oversight, hopefully owners read and take note, new towels as well would be good .

United KingdomA couple of minor issues , but owner informed and will be put right .
The apartment is in a great location , it is a secure , gated complex. It’s about a 5 minute walk into the village which has plenty of restaurants and bars , although quite a few were closed for their winter holidays and the village was fairly quiet , there was enough open for us to eat somewhere different every evening of our 7 night stay . The beach is about a 10 minute walk away . The apartment has everything you could need for an excellent holiday , the fully equipped kitchen is great 👍.

IrelandNothing negative to say about Vila da Praia
Perfect location- short walk to all amenities, beaches etc. Paula was a great host and when we informed her of a small issue in kitchen, she had it dealt with in about 15 minutes. Apartment was large and clean, with everything you need for a short or long stay. Felt very assured as this was a gated complex. Plenty of parking if you’re renting a car , which we didn’t as we only stayed for a short time and didn’t need one.

United KingdomNothing!
Great complex, with a lovely pool and the apartments are great, I have stopped in a smaller one on site previously, so definitely recommend the area. Great for families or couples. Well equipped kitchen for quiet night in or a short walk to restaurants. Paula who met us to check in was fantastic despite us arriving at 1am due to flight/hire car issues and reassured us it was no problem when we rang. Alvor is a great place with fantastic food, drink, weather, people and beaches. Plenty to do for all ages. Would recommend golf land mini golf, slide and splash and the local beaches.

IrelandCan't find fault with anything.
A great location, only 5 min walk to center of Alvor 10 min from beach. Secure private parking. Lovely spacious apartment with great facilities. Plenty of cookware etc. Immaculately clean!!! Didn't get to use the pool as we were there in November and it was too cold, but again very well maintained.

IrelandThe view from my apartment was of a high rise old apartment block. The terrace could have been a little bigger.
The complex was very well located between the beach and the town (approx 10 mins from each).
