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.).

PortugalI would leave a 10 but one of the night staff, a lady who was knitting in a room, was quite unfriendly at our requests to purchase items at the bar at night.
Nice breakfast and great location, close to everything. Beautiful old town house with a great pool and facilities. Person checking us in and out was friendly.

FranceThe staff were really kind! The lady at the front desk helped us with recommendations and directions. We were able to check in early. The house feels retro and homey; the gardens and greenery are beautiful. It was a nice change of scenery and felt very removed from the city even though it was pretty close to the tourist areas. It was too cold to use the pool but otherwise we had a very pleasant stay.

IrelandThis historic building was in a quiet, green, leafy area of Sintra. It was a short bus ride from the train station but we chose to walk up through the town.We were greeted by informative staff. Our room had old world charm and was decorated in keeping with this. We enjoyed our breakfast in the morning which was followed by a dip in the amazing pool in the very lovely gardens surrounding this hotel as in the name.

LithuaniaThe hotel is set in a beautiful old building, surrounded by nature. It has a cosy, tastefully landscaped garden with a swimming pool. The room is spacious and has a balcony overlooking the garden. Friendly, helpful hotel staff. Breakfast is fulfilling and tasty. Parking is available in the yard of the hotel, which is a great advantage in Sintra. We would love to come back here again.

SwedenThere was some mold, but it is inevitable with humidity such as in Sintra.
This property gives you an environment of an old luxurious villa hidden in the magnificent garden. We had a feeling like we were living in an old movie. The pool was very refreshing after a long day of walking in Sintra and the breakfast the next morning was meeting our expectations.
