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.).

ThailandI have no criticisms of the apartment.
This apartment was lovely and filled all our needs. It is in the most perfect location to explore Monsarraz as you are quite literally on the doorstep. There is parking right outside the door which was a huge bonus. The house is fully equipped and comfortable and I would recommend to anyone visiting to stay there if you can.

United StatesMain bed was fine but the sleeper sofa was not comfortable. Wifi did not work well but fortunately we did not need it to use it. Refrigerator did not cool down.
Quaint villa with enough room to sleep the 3 of us just a short walk outside the castle walls. Loved the ease of parking just outside the villa. The host was very helpful and friendly during our check-in. Beautiful views of the lake and city all around. The terrace was the highlight and we were able to see the stars wonderfully across this dark sky area. The villa was very clean and well appointed.

United KingdomSome might have a problem with no wi fi but in all honestly we appreciated the break from it and the mobile signal is fine,
This is a beautiful quirky apartment, it was spotless. Isabel greeted us so warmly and the property had so many little extra touches that made it really special, We were there for only one night and didn’t cook but it seemed to have everything you would need. Really comfy bed and spacious bedroom. The views from the property are amazing and the little terrace beautiful. A walk literally around the corner gives you stunning views over Alqueva Lake and another few yards up the hill takes you into the caste and the village of Monsaraz. This is a truly special and individual place.

United StatesOnly wish there was a fan on the ground floor since we came during a heat wave and the AC is in the upstairs main bedroom. The kids had a tough time falling asleep but we ended up opening our bedroom door and things cooled as the light came. Overall, top place to stay.
Super charming, perfectly located for a real feel of the castle and countryside. We loved it. Slept two adults and two tweens comfortably.

CanadaIsabel is a wonderful host!! She made special touches just for us in her well appointed and tastefully updated home. We enjoyed a lovely view from the bedroom upstairs and found everything to be carefully cleaned, very comfortable, and quaintly romantic. The terrace was exceptionally peaceful with a beautiful Northern view. Isabel's home was perfect for us and I look forward to our next visit :)

It was fun to stay in this medieval village and explore it in the quieter evening hours. The owner is very friendly and met us when we arrived to give us the keys and a tour of the apartment.

United KingdomNo Internet in the house - but perhaps a good thing! Managed to get wifi on our mobiles on the terrace.
Ignore the fact that there is no internet and stay at this delightful cottage in beautiful Monsaraz. It is the perfect location - very quiet and has the luxury of car parking at the door. A beautiful bedroom with a super comfortable bed and quality bedding. We enjoyed the private terrace - which affords lovely views over the valley. The kitchen is equipped with all that we required and there was nice welcome gifts from the host. Everywhere spotlessly clean.
