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.).

PortugalEverything was perfect, nothing to complain about.
Location and quinta is really beautiful and clean. We loved also breakfast. You can come to the kitchen to make tea whenever you want. There is AC in the room. Close to the city by walk but still seems like you are in the village. There is no reception so make sure you align the time with the host :)

PortugalThe hosts are extremely friendly. The check-in is super smooth and fast. The breakfast was amazing and healthy for all tastes: (yogurt, seasonal fruits, croissants, ham, cheese, natural orange juice, etc... ). Every afternoon the host asked us to fill out a list in which we picked the content and the hour that we wanted to take the breakfast. Given that we stayed there during the summer, we chose to get it on the terrace where we enjoyed the morning sun and the amazing landscape (the terrace faces a beautiful vineyard). The hosts offer a lot of privacy and make you feel very comfortable. Everything is prepared with a special touch of discretion. Since we were there to disconnect from the stress of the city, we enjoyed a hot day by the pool, where the hosts had some cold beers to refresh. The unit where we stayed was super spacious, with lots of natural light, a clean and modern decoration, a very comfortable king-size bed, and a comfortable living room with an open kitchen towards the terrace. The unit offers very good wifi.

SwedenImagine waking up in the middle of a vineyard - choosing view of the vineyards or Borba centrum down below, being served a breakfast with varieties chosen the evening before. Feeling the stress level going down to below zero. Also so friendly and sympathetic owners and service minded staff made us and our dog feel most welcome and at “home”

ItalyCarolina is a great host, she welcomed us with a smile and every morning she prepared the most delicious breakfast according to our preferences and even timing! The place is super relaxing and there's a common kitchen that can be used to prepare meals, but also some local restaurants nearby. We visited Evora, Monsaraz, Marvao and other small villages using Quinta do Barreiro as starting point! I surely recommend this place!!

AustriaAbsolutely nothing!
Everything! The best place we stayed at during our 17 day trip through Portugal. It was amazing! The host Carolina looked after us perfectly, recommended and booked an authentic Portuguese restaurant in the area for us, made a fantastic breakfast every day and so on. We stayed in the Suite and were able to use the communal lounge and kitchen. Everything at Quinta do Barreiro is brand-new and in addition, there is a beautiful interior design. And they have a fantastic swimming pool! Borba is a quaint rural town in the Alentejo region and we used it as a base to visit some wine estates. Highly recommended!

PortugalCould have better blackouts for the windows, for me it was almost impossible to sleep after the sunrise as I forgot my blindfold.
The place was really quiet, allowed us for resting and recharge. We traveled with our dog, she was allowed to move freely inside de property and follow us to the breakfast and swimming pool. The room was quite large and modern. The access to the property is good and it’s only 10min by car to the highway. Breakfast was amazing, homemade with seasonal, local ingredients!

GermanyWe loved everything (and just hope the prices won’t go up further ;))
This is a beautiful house. Everything is brand new and designed with great taste. We stayed in the suite, which consists of a bedroom and a large bathroom, but we also very much enjoyed the communal areas outside and inside. The breakfast is delicious, with homemade cake and fresh fruit, served on pretty Portuguese pottery. Carolina is an exceptional host, muito obrigada. The location is also very nice, in the middle of the wine/marble regions of Alentejo, with quiet and serene landscapes. To Borba, the next village, you can easily walk in 10 min. Évora is a 40 min drive away and has particularly nice restaurants (try Tua Madre and Hibrido). We will be back for sure!

PortugalIf I really really have to nit-pick, I would point to the lack of kitchen rolls, no hand/face towel holder in the bathroom and the water drainage could be improved. Small things that in no way affected our stay.
Situated in the middle of calm a family farm, surrounded by vineyards, a few minutes away on foot from Borba, this is a great choice for a break from busy city life. The entire property is very clean, tastefully decorated in a minimalistic style, with comfortable and spacious rooms. They also welcome pets, except for the pool are of course, which is a huge plus. Watching our dog running around the fields in pure bliss was heart-warming. Be careful, however, that the gate is always open and there's an old deconditioned railway across the vineyard so adventurous dogs can get lost. The host Carolina goes above and beyond to provide the best stay possible. She even prepared a bath bench for the walk-in shower since I was temporarily of lower mobility. The breakfast, as many stated before, is simply superb - homemade and very tasty - with an option to eat privately. Don't miss out on the freshly made mini pancakes, cake or jams! We can choose what and when we want among a vast selection the day before, minimizing waste and potential food intolerance, which is great.
