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 KingdomThe location of this hotel is fantastic, right at the top of the hill in Estromoz with fantastic views all around. Our room (superior double), had views overlooking the town and was very spacious and comfortable and there is a lift (which is unusual in these very old hotels in this area). This was a palace so it does still have a certain air of some formality about it, but it is amazing and considering how old it is, has been made very comfortable. You can walk to the top of the hotel tower which has a 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding landscape and is just amazing. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we did have dinner in the hotel, which was exceptional and the staff very attentive. There is so much to offer in this hotel and it is well worth staying there. The breakfast was fantastic, offering so much choice and again the dining room - very palatial as is everywhere in this hotel. There is plenty of parking space outside and a lovely swimming pool and terrace to sit and enjoy your Alentejo wines. I would definitely recommend staying here.

CanadaWe didn’t like how fast our stay went by as we were very happy.
We liked how well kept and maintained and clean the whole property was. Loved the views from our room, the tower and the dining room and bar. Our bed and lines were very comfortable! Enjoyed the pool and patio and grounds.

Indiathe room itself could have been better, as well as the things provided. it did not meet expectations for a 5 star experience in our opinion. there were things missing: - a full length mirror - bathrobes - a table to keep the suitcase are things one takes for granted, but wasnt provided. And the bathroom was small, with the shower hard to get into. Bidet was extremely cramped, and honestly, would have been better if it were not there.
breakfast was very good with multiple options. the history of the hotel, and the overall aesthetic was really cool.

United KingdomWe booked our room on the basis of it being either a twin or a double. We would have preferred a double but ended up with a twin. Hotel staff explained that the hotel only has ten double rooms and had we expressed an interest for one in the comments section of our booking, they would have done their best meet our needs. In the end, it didn’t cause us a problem. Our room was traditionally furnished which we liked, but the bathroom would have benefitted by being much more modern. This would have enhanced our stay. As it was, the bathroom was totally adequate but rather dark and resembled a room form the 70s or 80s.
This hotel is in an old quite spectacular castle, so many inside facilities are traditional rather than modern which we were totally happy with. The location is on a hill, a five minute fairly steep walk into town. The public areas and restaurant are grand and have wonderful views of countryside and the private garden. There is a good pool and surrounding area. The breakfast was very good and plentiful. Our room was large and comfortable within the context of being traditionally furnished. Staff were friendly and efficient. There is also abundant free and safe parking on the square outside the hotel, but be careful not to become blocked in on a Sunday during the nearby church services.

PortugalAfter visiting this hotel twice, I feel that the facilities and services are sub-par for a 5 star hotel. This applies to the lobby service/variety, outdoor pool service and hours, and more.
One of a kind historical hotel at the heart of Estremoz and an excellent breakfast. The experience is unique
