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.).

United KingdomThe countryside location brings tranquility, but it also means you can not really walk to the nearest town/restaurants (our eldest son is disabled). But Ubers are cheap, so it caused no problems for us.
It’s a stunning house, beautifully furnished and clean. Great facilities, a common room area to use and we loved the pool area. We were worried, having 2 older children, that they might ruin the ambiance of the poolside, but they were very welcomed and had a fab time. Our room was bright with a massive bathroom, and the boys room (bunkbeds) was perfectly fine for them. We were introduced to Pepi the parrot, who whistled in appreciation at the guests, especially me!!! And Nina, the 3 legged cat, has my heart! Breakfast was lovely, lots of fresh fruit, cereal, fresh bread, cake, cheese and meats. Patricia and Ricardo work really hard to make sure everything is perfect for your stay with them. Lots of great stories and tips for things to do and places to eat locally, and further afield. Thanks guys :)

We can highly recommend this location with an excellent level of price/quality. We are looking forward to come back. Thanks to Patricia & Ricardo.

GermanyEverything was perfect!
The Quintas location is simply breathtaking. Surrounded by lush greenery and serene water bodies, it provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of Lisbon. The views from the living room were stunning, overlooking the pool and the garden during breakfast creating an idyllic setting for relaxation. The breakfast was lovely and homey, there's everything one needs. Fresh fruits, juices and cake every item was delicious. The service at the Quinta was impeccable. From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly attentive and friendly, always eager to assist with a genuine smile. Check-in was smooth, throughout our stay, we felt supported and attended to at any time. Thank you so much for this lovely serene stay.

My recent stay at Quinta do pe Descalco was nothing short of exceptional, we booked 2 rooms one for me and my partner and one for my Mom, we got married in Sintra so we wanted a place calm and serene away from home. Patricia her husband and all the staff were exceptional in making us feel comfortable before the wedding preparation afterwards, they gifted us a lovely rose bottle to celebrate, left us some snacks from breakfast the next day as we slept in late, accommodated our needs and request it felt like being in a relative home. They speak so many languages, and communication flows easily, my wedding necklace fell in the sink and they called someone to help take it out, it was super helpful, I remember the time spent at the Quinta fondly, it was such a peaceful time, the surroundings are beautiful, with a lovely pool so much greenery and a lovely garden, you won't regret staying there.

NetherlandsThe hosts were great. The welcome brochure is very useful and complete with a lot of advice about restaurants, places to go, beaches, etc… The Quinta accepts a maximum of 13 guests which makes a lot of space and never have to fight for a place in or around the swimming pool.

United KingdomWould be nice to have coffee making facilities in the room, but was not a biggy, my fiance (we got engaged whilst there :) went to the kitchen every morning to get some. It is only across from the room.
We were greeted by the lovely couple, Patricia and Ricardo who own the property. They were very friendly, approachable and helpful. It was very useful to have someone who can recommend places to visit, and most importantly eat! We visited Sintra, explored the coast line and Nazare, and went to Lisbon, we loved every day and the food was always good!! And all within half an hours drive. We rented a car that we collected from the airport, we would have had to rely on ubers otherwise, so glad we did. Patricia and Ricardo provide a very lovely breakfast every morning and we enjoyed our chats before heading out. The room was spotless and very, very, comfortable. Thank you so much both, we will be back x

United StatesThe owner is amazing and so accommodating - really enjoyed her expertise and insight. We had incredible conversations and really learned a lot about Sintra through her eyes. The breakfasts are great! The coffee is so delicious and the bread is so incredible fresh and tasty! There are also two wonderful people at breakfast (one is the owner's dad!) making sure you have everything you need for breakfast. The room we had was spacious and very clean, plus there are two extra rooms downstairs to just hang out and chill (or work). Beautiful property!

New ZealandQuinta do Pe Descalço is a stunning property, with beautiful peaceful elegant rooms, a lovely pool and surrounds. Ricardo and Patricia are wonderful hosts providing everything you need for your stay and visiting to the area. It’s close proximity to Sintra, the coast and Lisbon make it an ideal base. We left to pick up a late flight out of Lisbon and especially appreciated being welcome to use the house, pool and showers after checking out.

UruguayIt was not clear to me that the room did not have air conditioning but this was probably oversight from my side. We did not have any really hot days and the area is less warm than the city or Lisbon. I only guess than during some heatwaves an A/C may be useful.
Breakfast, pool the overall sensation of calm. The house is fantastic and you have access to all the spaces throughout the day. The place is very well located in regard to reaching Cascais, the beaches and Sintra. Hosts are great, they have a document to guide you to the best places around, conversation with them was also very interesting. Great place.

NetherlandsCan't think of anything we didn't like!
The Quinta is located in a small and quiet forest on the outskirts of town, but still within walking distance to some restaurants in the centre. It's a tranquil guesthouse, where you can enjoy the swimming pool and common living room indoors. The site offers private parking, behind the gate. We had a spacious room, with a good double bed and view into the backyard. The hosts were good in communicating prior to arrival and very friendly at checkin and during our stay. Each morning a good continental breakfast is served. We got some good recommendations for visiting Lisbon and the Sintra castles. What's especially nice is that they've prepared a booklet with all kinds of tips and pointers, like nice restaurants, beaches and vineyard/brewery visit recommendations!
