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.).

We loved our time at Quinta das Amendoeiras. The grounds are beautiful and so safe for children. Maria, our host, was charming, very kind and welcoming. Check-in was easy despite our late arrival and the apartment was set up beautifully with a cot bed for our baby. Swimming pool is lovely, it is covered every evening but you can open it yourself for early morning swims. It's about 20 mins walk to two very nice restaurants Farm Village and A Cochiera. The property has air-conditioning but we didn't need it despite temperatures of 31 degrees outside. The thick stone walls of the traditional house kept the rooms lovely and cool. XD

CanadaThe only thing comment we have is the placement of the AC just above our heads in the bedroom wasn't the best.
We loved our stay here! We had everything we needed, everything was clean and well maintained. It was quiet and peaceful. We loved that we could use the pool at any time. Maria was welcoming and helpful. Very charming place!

IrelandThe accommodation was very clean and had everything that you might want in self catering. Maria the owner was lovely and made sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. Nice pool which is heated and very private. It is a little outside of town but we had a car and uber to take us out of an evening. Would highly recommend.

NetherlandsThey are actually several apartments and we had a shared terrace. The appartment self is a bit dark. Difficult to walk around as there are also cars on the road and there is nowhere to go, definitely need a car.
It’s far from big complexes, swimming pool, good contact with the owner, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, also coffee, thee etc.

GermanyNothing I can think of.... Maybe a document with recommendations for supermarkets, restaurant, beaches, ... - though this was actually easily obtained in a direct talk.
Quiet environment, away from tourists, small-scale, yet very close to city and beaches (by car). Flavour of old quinta is preserved, though completely modernized. Welcoming owners - a pleasure to meet them and be with them and their other guests.

United KingdomThere wasn't a single thing NOT to like :) We absolutely loved this place. The room was clean homely and well equipped for a comfortable living. The pool is lovely, warm and super clean. Maria and her husband we're amazing hosts, replying to questions within 10 minutes and always willing to help with a smiley face. The location was fab, a very cheap Uber ride to both Old Town and The Strip. We stayed as a couple however, I could imagine this place being amazing for families, especially with a HUGE Lidl a stones throw away. I would highly recommend this accommodation and can't wait to return. Thank you Maria!

United KingdomI didn't like the cleanliness of the pool which had numerous dead bugs both floating and under the water. The bottom of the pool also looked dirty. I was really excited with the fact that you could use the shared pool however didn't get to enjoy it for this reason. I had an issue with comfort as the sofa wasn't comfortable enough to be used and there was only one as it is a small house. I was unable to get a good night sleep due to an issue/fault with the bed which was extremely noisy and impossible to sleep comfortably in it due to the incredible noise. However despite these issues everything else was really positive and I have to say I didn't communicate these issues during my stay regardless of the owner texting to find out if everything was ok. In the end we talked about it and both her and her husband were incredibly nice and said that it was a shame they didn't know we weren't comfortable as they would even have placed us in a spare house they had to fix the issue and they said if the bed can't be fixed they'll promptly buy a new one. They were open to all suggestions and seemed genuinely concerned. This review would not stop me from visiting another time in the future. And definitely communicate any problems as they are really helpful and will find a solution to accommodate you. Overall, it was a positive experience regarding a few issues and the place has great potential for a nice stay.
I liked the quaint nature of the place, the ammenities and the fact that the place only had a few houses with a shared pool which provided you with enough privacy.

DenmarkThe bed was a bit too hard for our liking and the apartment had a weird smell, most likely due to humidity, but it's not so bad with some room ventilation. The bed seems to be quite noisy if you are turning at night.
Nice and lovely yard for having breakfast and for enjoying dinner in the evening. Lots of space in apartments and a lovely kitchen with everything provided to make your own meal. Good place away from the city and easy to get to where you want using a rented car or UBER.
