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.).

IrelandIt was perfect really. If I had to say something it would be that pool is not heated just FYI. Was a bit cold for our 7 month old but we went in early May.
Excellent location to the beach and the town. Modern apartment with a balcony overlooking the pool area. Very clean and fully equipped with everything you might need for your stay. Family friendly. Hosts were very helpful.

United KingdomI wouldn't say dislike, but our apartment toilets had frosted glass doors and no exhaust vents, so don't expect home like privacy or convenience. But then u are likely to have windows (or even door) open for a breeze in April/ may anyways (before temps hit 35+). So not a big deal really and we managed well.
Safe and quiet gated apartments with generous sized pools, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Everything you need is provided. Maria had thought of everything (even the hammock for the terrace) ,and was very polite and flexible. A bit further walk to beach from apartment, maybe slightly challenging in peak summer but perfect for April. We had a car anyway as you need it to explore the many wonderful beaches along the algarve coast and beyond.

IrelandThere was nothing to dislike.
This was our third time in Vila da Praia but the first in Maria's apartment. The apartment was immaculate and exceptionally comfortable and all the extras were very welcome and very much appreciated. There was everything you could possibly need for a holiday. We had a lovely view over the pool. We were very early checking in and this was no problem for Maria. She met us early, showed us around as it was still being cleaned, we got the keys and dropped our bags off and came back later. This is the best apartment we have ever stayed in. I can't recommend it highly enough!

United KingdomThere was a strong smell of drains in the main bathroom when the door had been shut for any length of time, the toilet seat in the second bathroom was loose and needed fixing, the second bedroom is almost triangular shaped with a single bed that has a lower pull-out section to make into a small double, it is only suitable for one Adult or two young children with no A/C. I was unable to contact our host Maria before we left to arrange the return of the Apartment keys even though I tried messaging and phoning her a few times, therefore having to leave the keys in the apartment. Fortunately, there was an exit button to get out of the complex after we had left the apartment.
Good sized Apartment, location great for the Beach and Alvor centre, lovely complex with secure gated access. Main bedroom had a Large comfortable bed with very good air conditioning. Apartment well equipped, nice view over the pool and partial sea view, excellent shower and A/C in the lounge dining area. We would definitely return to this Apartment
