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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Both the breakfast and location were excellent. The grounds and pool were also excellent, and were a great salvation at the end of a hot day. The main hotel was delightful.

EstoniaGood that the aircondition was working also in the heating mode. Arriving late or early might be a little tricky as the reception is not working 24h.
Quiet and green location, small and very cosy hotel. Very good choice if you want to have a villa style stay. Breakfast offers excellent fruits and nice view. The aras and cockadoos in the garden were nice. Personnel was helpful and very flexible.

CanadaAs we traveled along the ocean shore in Portugal, this place stood out as the best one, according to my child! It’s conveniently located close to the main attractions, just a 10-minute walk to downtown with plenty of great restaurants. The place feels like a castle itself, offering both comfort and charm. The breakfast was delicious, and the pool provided the perfect relaxation after a day of exploring. The unit was fully equipped with everything we needed. The pictures on the website were spot on—this place is truly beautiful.

United StatesOne room had a plug in air conditioner while another had a fan with no air conditioning—but not really a negative since both rooms were comfortable the evening was a stayed (might get warmer during day).
We had a wonderful one-night stay with our 3 kids (13, 8 & 6). Rooms were clean and spacious, and comfortable despite the extremely hot weather. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub, and a nice breakfast. Pool is best for kids who can swim without assistance as it’s fairly deep with no shallow end.

United KingdomWe had an apartment as we had a dog. The beds were comfortable , but, the apartment could do with a little updating. They weren't particularly pretty from the outside which is a shame as the surrounding gardens were beautiful. Also, the air conditioning units didn't work and it was very hot when we arrived. Fans were supplied, though, and the temperature dropped at night, so, it wasn't too much of a problem.
The welcome from the gentleman on reception. He was extremely helpful and friendly. The house itself was beautiful as were the gardens. The property was easy to find and we were directed to a parking area near our apartment, so, unloading our luggage was easy. The buffet breakfast which was included in the price was also good. All of the staff were very friendly.

NetherlandsThere is no elevator. So in case of heavy luggage, you have to carry it walking up the stairs
This place is an old villa with garden, jacuzzi and swimming pool. It is well maintained, stylish and with a lot of character. Rooms are in the main villa, but also in the dependance. Our room on the first floor was large and equipped with everything. Staff at the reception was a bit distant at the beginning, but friendly afterwards. Breakfast happens in set slots which must be confirmed to the reception during the check-in. This is to avoid an overcrowded breakfast room and ensure a pleasant experience to the guests. Parking is available at location, reachable from a different entrance. The swimming pool area looks like a post card. Cozy and very nice. We could not use it due to foggy and rainy weather, but we would have used it if we had had a sunny day. Definitely a very nice stay.

This was a beautiful property in a fairytale setting. Terrific breakfast! Since this was a unique B&B in a unique town, our trip was lovely but could have been immensely more enjoyable with the following tips: -Advise where to park your car so you don't pull into the inn, only to have to back out, up a hill, onto a busy road then navigate down another lane (I know, it's Europe, but still) -Advise to take a ride-sharing service to any/all palaces and forgo the need to find a parking place in town and take the long bus rides. We allowed 3 hours to make our reservation at Pena Palace and missed it. You can't park where the palace said you can park. -Make a restaurant reservation in advance. There were several highly regarded spots but all were small and fill up fast. -Once you do park at the property, you just need to be aware there are many steps. Then depending on your room, many steps up to your room. Again, totally get it, just advise people up front.

United KingdomThe cleanliness of our apartment wasn't ideal, greasy handprints all up the mirrors and windows suggested young children had been in previously. Bedlinen a bit questionable. Apartment facilities are extremely basic but overall good value for the location and other amenities.
Excellent base to explore Sintra, feels like you're staying in a part of the area's rich history yet excellent value. We stayed in the annex apartment; beds were very comfortable and lovely courtyard view. The parking a huge plus. Breakfast is also a real bonus (the home-made cake is amazing), and the pool and garden space felt like the perfect end to a busy day in and around Sintra.

BulgariaYou have to opt for a certain time slot for breakfast.Every half an hour there’s a group of people arriving for breakfast. Sometimes all tables are busy and people have to wait. You have approximately 30 mins for breakfast including the queue for the coffee machine. The first day we wanted to have breakfast at 9 but everything was already busy. I was disappointed.
Great location and a very beautiful garden.

NetherlandsWe understand the location means the stay is a bit more pricy, but we still thought is was a bit overprized for what we got. We felt the room was a bit small, but we did not need much space so this was not a problem. What we did not like so much was the smell that came from the bathroom at all times, but closing the door was all we had to do to avoid this. There was a problem with the pool, so we could only use the jacuzzi (which was great!)
The house and garden are beautiful. The centre of sintra is a walkable distance and buses go to several (crowded) hotspots. The staff was super friendly (at the reception and at breakfast).

My wife walked by while i checked into their limited tables to go get a seat for us which the lady took exception to and kept shouting for my wife to come back to sign in despite me being right there. She then put us in the corner away from the birds my wife wanted to be near. Good stay but this lady ruined it for us. Other staff very good.
