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 StatesThe location and setting - with wonderful views - were fantsatic. The rooms were lovely and spacious and the entire facililty was beautiful. We also thought the breakfast was spectacular. I will say there was a particular odor in one room, and a musty smell in another room. But they were very clean. Perhaps that is becuase it's a very old building. It was so much fun staying in a pousada. We loved it!

United KingdomHotel is high so if you walk down it's a long way back up. All paths and roads are cobbles and are slippery when wet. Parking is shared with the castle which is open to rhe public so parking can be tight. Ignore the old man who tries to charge for parking as he's a local who has been at this for years, parking is free.
Good location set within a castle on top of a hill overlooking the town. Good rooms which are large and same old style as all pousada's, good breakfast and bar but can't coment on the evening meal as we didn't eat there of a night.

United KingdomHotel parking can be busy as it fills up for the castle visitors, ignore the old man trying to charge you for parking as he's trying it on. Hotel is on top of a steep hill so if your walking down to the town please bear in mind the walk back up. Cobbles can slippery when wet as all roads and paths are made of cobbles
Hotel is stunning sitting on the top of a hill overlooking the town, in the castle grounds. Breakfast good as in any pousada. Didn't eat dinner so can't coment. Staff where all good and recommended to any body wanting to stay.

United StatesVery quiet, comfortable, clean. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The views are spectacular. Staff is wonderful. (Special shout out to Ana. She was the one we saw most of the time. Very friendly, very professional. I love how enthusiastic she was about the Castelo and the hotel property. She always made time to answer our questions and give recommendations.) Breakfast- in a word- FANTASTIC. Everything was fresh and delicious. The man who set up the buffet and tended the area was very nice and always made sure it was clean and stocked.
