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.).

This property is absolutely stunning and was the best choice we made as our first stay at Douro valley. The owners are so nice and super welcoming- they do everything to make you feel comfortable and are so generous with their conversations, love and services. The property itself is stunning and there are many things to do! You can go on a quick hike in the estate itself, wine tasting close by, they have a beautiful swimming pool. I fell sick during my stay and they catered to me with utmost compassion and gave me whatever I needed to feel better.

AustraliaThe only thing I didn't like was that I didn't get to stay longer!
What did I like? EVERYTHING! The view, the pool, the rooms, the food, the wine, and most of all the people!! I've travelled to 45 countries and stayed in all types of accomodation. This was one of my favourite experiences. We had planned to eat out at the local restaurants and ended up staying and eating the amazing dinners in house. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. The pool and that view is heaven. It was just a beautiful experience and such a relaxing break between visiting Lisbon and Porto. I would love to return in future!

This Quinta in the hills of the Douro valley was absolutely fantastic! It has vineyards all around the steep hills, hiking trails through the woods, infinity pool, warm saltwater soaking pool, lovely grounds, beautiful views, large individually, theme-decorated rooms (we were in the Padra room with en-suite bathroom, comfortable bed and balcony with grand views), electronic key system to enter rooms, outside doors and gate. There was private, locked parking and the Quinta is located up a hilly road not far from Peso de Regua. There was the most beautiful glassed-in formal dining room (Querkum Restaurant) with views over the vineyards of the Douro valley where both breakfast and dinner (cooked in the local style with organic ingredients) were served by the very congenial staff. The Manor house is an old family estate which has been 5 years in renovation and exquisitely furnished with many family antiques and large common spaces, and has only been open for a few years. This is an operating farm and vineyard. The owners, Dr. Monteiro and his wife and staff, were a joy to interact with and the owner took us on a hike around his beloved property and introduced us to his prizewinning, Bravia Breed goats. This place has my highest recommendation.

United KingdomEverything was wonderful but we would recommend wine tasting in the Hotel as the owner owns a vineyard and the staff know a lot about fine wines . The menu should also say and declare that they use local wonderful produce - local goats cheese , fine wines , breads , Chorizo , eggs , olive Oil - please share with your patrons - they will love it. A visit to see the Hotel goats and the shepherd dog is a must .
This Hotel is Superb - I cannot praise it enough . The owners and all the staff offer a bespoke experience so you feel like you are guests within their house . The breakfast is amazing and the location is serene . I would normally never recommend going back to the same hotel again but in this instance I would have no reservations . The owners and all staff are delightful and cannot do enough to make your stay wonderful . We will return to the beautiful Douro Valley . Portugal has so much to offer rather than beaches and golf and Lisbon - try the Douro Valley - you will be amazed .

United StatesThe outdoor infiniti swimming pool is not heated.
Quinta de Travassihos is a perfect location to base your visit to the Douro Valley. It is surrounded by vineyards and sits high atop a hill with great views of the surrounding valleys, vineyards and countryside. The owners and staff were gracious and knowledgeable. They have done an outstanding job in restoring an old building into a modern luxury accommodation. Special call out to the owners (Carlos and Helena) and Jean for making our stay such a wonderful experience. We will recommend Quinta de Travassihos to our friends and family!

NetherlandsNothing. Everything was 5-star standard.
This boutique hotel is one of the best we have stayed at, and we travel a lot. Helena and Ricardo are so kind and hospitable, making us feel at home from the moment we walked in. We had a few fantastic meals there, drinks and snacks at the pool and the breakfast was outstanding. Our room was huge and spotless, with heavy shutters to keep out the heat and keep it dark for lie-ins. We got much help making tasting reservations and great pointers on where to go. The view from the pool is breathtaking, and I even had a 50-minute outdoor massage on the deck. Everything is modern, yet the interior decor and gorgeous antiques remain faithful to the property's rich history - the perfect combination. We did a challenging walk around the vast property and saw the goats, the fruit trees, the vineyards and the stream... what a great job this couple does at maintaining it! Book here, don't even doubt it.... it is a diamond of a hotel.
