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.).

PhilippinesThe 8-ish flights of stairs. We were traveling around europe making us have medium luggage each so the trip up the stairs were a struggle but that’s about it.
The view! 10/10 view. The interior design was clean and bright. There were towels, shampoo and shower gel provided. Basic cooking materials can be found in the pantry (oil, salt, pepper).

United KingdomThe building was beautiful inside and out. It is true what the other reviews say that you have to be fit to climb the stairs to the flat, but the stairs are real wood, the corridors have high ceilings, very pretty to look at. The flat is bright and tastefully decorated. There were some oranges left for us and we enjoyed them. Antonio was very helpful.

GreeceNothing.
We had a great time in Lisbon. The choice of the apartment was very successful, as it is excellent in all respects. The only downside is that it doesn't have an elevator and you have to climb 92 steps to the 4th floor. But as soon as you see the view from the balcony, you forget all your tiredness right away!! . But above all I want to congratulate Antonio. He is extremely friendly, smiling and informative.

United StatesIf you have a heavy bag, it is a long walk up to the 4th floor apartment-No elevator. The apartment, however, is totally worth the effort.
Very spacious, welcoming apartment with the most amazing view of Lisbon and the Tejo River. You can see the bridge and the Cristo Rei lit up at night. The apartment is well located for exploring. Antonio is a wonderful host.

CanadaWe were aware nd expected the walk up, so not a negative for us, but it could be n issue for those with mobility issues climbing stairs.
I can’t think there could be a more beautiful place to spend a few weeks in Lisbon. The apartment is central, near groceries and laundry and has the best view you can imagine. Sunsets were unbelievable, and we could keep tabs on the busy harbour and arrivals. Smiled at all the sunset sailing tours, we always had the best perspective on that! loved Alfama. Our host was very responsive and helpful.

United KingdomNothing! I would take note that the apartment is up 4 flights of stairs, not an issue for us, but bare in mind when booking.
Gorgeous apartment with stunning view! The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for our few days in Lisbon, so glad we booked here and not a hotel. The apartment was very central to everything you might want to see, and right under the castle. Best place to stay in Lisbon! Waking up to the view every morning was amazing, as was watching the sunset in the evening. The host Antonio was so accommodating and greeted us even though it was late in the evening. Can't recommend enough!

IrelandUnbeatable view and location as everyone before us has said. We loved staying at Retrato de Lisboa, we could not fault it and would highly recommend it to friends and family. It is exactly as described and shown on the pictures. The apartment is situated a few steps away from the city's main square, in the Alfama district, around the corner from the castle and Lisbon Cathedral. It always felt very safe. You cannot hear any noise at night, you wake up to spectacular views. We slept very well. There are restaurants and bars down the streets, one supermarket also close by. Lots of public transport available. We opted to get a taxi from the airport on day 1, only 24e from the airport. (For the way back to the airport we booked our taxi online with booking.com, that worked out very well too, same price). The stairs weren't an issue for us, so I could not comment on that (travelled with an 8 year old and 2 seniors) , travelling to Lisbon will mean climbing quite a few stairs anyway. We thought this accommodation was great value for money. Washing up liquid, sponge, salt and pepper provided in the kitchen. Lots of towels, a hair drier in the bathroom. Communication with our host was also quick and efficient!

PolandIn January it can get quite cold in the evenings. The heater is there all right but it struggles at times to warm up the apartment. Also one must be aware that it's 4th floor with no elevator. Not a big problem for a fit family like us though 😉
Perfect view! Beats most other Lisbon miradouros. All the usual amenities of a typical rental apartment are provided. Comfy bed and sofa.
