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.).

First off, we were booked to arrive at the hotel early evening, but unfortunately we missed our flight which now meant we will be arriving at midnight too late for checking in, but we were very lucky to receive a phone call from a lovely lady by the name Graça and I told her our dilemma of which she responded very assuring that it’s not a big problem at all about what time we get there, so we kept intouch with her thought until we landed in Faro and texted her on the way to the hotel, we arrived at the reception few mins after 1am and the lady received us with a big smile and we chatted like we were of friends. very accommodating she was. our in this hotel continued to be very enjoyable until the last day. very nice staff. thank you Graça

United StatesThis place was an unexpected gem. Beautiful views of the valley from the glass elevator and the restaurant, comfortable room with plenty of space for our family of 5, and a fantastic dinner at the restaurant. We had the salmon, the bacalao, and the kids churrasco, all of which were excellent. The breakfast was also delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy, even for our large van. We also enjoyed hunting for frogs in the historic fountain across the street. Would definitely stay here again!

United Kingdomwe landed at 2.00am in the afternoon and no one was on reception until 2.45pm which was fine as you cannot check in until 3.00pm. However there was no where to have a drink and relax. The restaurant shut about 3.30pm and there was no where to sit and have a drink until 7.00pm. we were away from the town so it was to dark to go out. We had a meal at the hotel but the staff were not very friendly and you didn’t feel comfortable sitting at the table after the meal.
The room and view were fantastic.

It has the most beautiful views, waking up here from the hillside. Also great position to explore many places. The room was comfortable and we all slept well, they even arranged for a small bed to be made up, for our daughter, for free. A lovely buffet breakfast too on the terrace.

United KingdomThe location wasn’t ideal so a car was absolutely necessary. The pool was very dirty as it was full of flies / debris every day. The bathroom in the room had a constant unpleasant sewage smell from the pipes and the shower was strong but flooded often because the plug appeared to be full of hairs from previous guests. It was very noisy at night and it was impossible to order food or drinks / use the terrace outside restaurant hours. They also charged us for water each day which given the limited options available to us, seemed unreasonable
Breakfast was ok, the view was nice and the staff were pleasant. The mini bar was also well stocked and the room was cleaned when requested. The restaurant was also quite nice - albeit there were no options for vegetarians - but it closed at inconsistent times

United KingdomThe hotel is run on a very restaurant centric basis. While laying on sun beds around the pool you are being overlooked by Resturant diners! I didn’t want a full sit down lunch. I couldn’t even buy a banana, despite being able to see them in the breakfast area!
Views are spectacular. Our first room smelled and was mouldy Our second room shower leaked. We complained but nothing was done! We found the rooms a little small and had windows looked into by adjacent rooms. The pool area was poor! The pool was dirty and needed a refurbishment. The umbrellas were broken. The shaded area to the back of the pool area were also damaged. The pool area shower need a spanner to turn on and off.

United KingdomNothing. Everything was perfect!
The staff were very friendly and genuinely eager to make our stay perfect. We are vegans and even before we departed to Portugal they wrote an email to us and assured us there would be plenty of breakfast for vegans and soy milk for my tea. Upon arrival we upgraded to a bigger room with an amazing view on the advice of the lady at reception. We were not disappointed. We are planning to stay longer at this hotel next time. Thank you for a perfect stay over!
