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.).

PortugalThe internet didn't reach our room, but was available in the reception, bar, restaurant and breakfast areas.
The quinta is a fabulous relic from, I believe, the 1600s that has since been modernised (of course) while still preserving the charm and atmosphere of old Portugal, and even has its own chapel. It's set in lovely grounds a couple of kilometres off the main road outside Elvas, making the sense of stepping into the past even stronger. The heat, silence and languor, a good complimentary breakfast, and a decent evening meal with a great red Alentejano wine made for a fantastic stay en route from Portugal into Spain.

PortugalIt's an old Quinta with some old furniture and quirks, which is OK, these add to the character and charm...but the mattresses could definitely do with some renewing.
We have visited the place many times and keep coming back. The old Quinta is very pretty with many different fruit trees and we were able to pick fresh blackberries daily. The pool is great for a relaxing afternoon. The staff has always been very polite and friendly.

SpainWe aren’t keen on showering over the bath. Coffee at breakfast not to our taste.
Breakfast was great. Fresh orange juice, breads, pastries, hot eggs and bacon. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The gardens are gorgeous - faded elegance, a bit wild, and peaceful. Our room was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. A truly independent hotel, unique, with fascinating character and elegance.

SpainThe hot water wasn't really hot enough for a bath and the bath had lost its enamel so it felt very rough. The place needed its exterior to be painted and grass and weeds removed from the roof of the breakfast area which had water leakage staining the inside walls.
It was a fine hotel at one time but appears that maintenance has been allowed to lapse. Perhaps the COVID lockdown caused it to lose a lot of money. The staff were nice. I'd stay again but maybe in the summer.

PortugalI think the bathroom cabinets need replacement as they are swollen from damp and not attractive No coffee facilities in the room The bath was not very comfortable for showering as the glass partition kept on sliding towards the inside of the bath. Very unpleasant when you trying to have a shower. No visible plugs in order to charge cellphones/tablets and connect laptops and connect hairdryer. We had to move the fridge to find the wall plug which already was overloaded with plugs
Breakfast was great as was the location of the hotel. Staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome. We decided to have dinner at the restaurant and the food and service was excellent!
