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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

Marta is a fantastic and exceptional host, you can see the “warm” details everywhere, from the entrance gate to the room, to all the facilities, everything chosen specifically and with a tremendous good taste. We stayed as a couple, the bedroom was perfect with the amazing fireplace, we had experienced a relaxed massage each and it was perfect! We will come back for sure, it’s one of those places that you love and want to see it getting bigger and better :)

United StatesThe staff, especially Marta, were warm and welcoming. The room was comfortable and quiet, with a fantastic view of the mountains. The infinity pool area and wooden hot tub in the woods were amazing and relaxing—indeed, the attention to detail and harmony with nature were outstanding throughout the property. The breakfast was perfect. It was so hard to leave this wonderful place—we hope to return one of these days. Thank you so much!

Peaceful oasis in a beautifully, renovated spacious hotel spa that used to be one of the Portuguese Royal family’s vacation home. The food was amazing. Accommodations were restful spacious. The staff was extraordinary. There was hiking a pool, hot tub lots of beautiful vistas to explore, and Parking included. I couldn’t have asked for a better stopping point in my trip through Portugal. When I return, I will stay more than one night.

Staff and owners were super nice and very helpful. Location is amazing, isolated and good for a retreat. The property is on top of a mountain, the view from the rooms is breathtaking. You are in the middle of the nature and there are many activities to do in property or nearby. Breakfast was fresh and personalised. You could choose what to eat the day before.

Nice. Quiet surroundings. Up on a mountain. Kinda a yoga retreat and escape from the big city. The breakfast was so good. Home style cooking and plentiful. We also had a lite dinner the night before as we didn’t want to leave. Salad was good. Hot tub was cleaning so we didn’t get to enjoy but pool is very nice. Loved the comfy bed as well and all the natural comforts. All staff delightful!

IsraelWe think that of all our trip in Portugal this is the most charming, luxurious, beautiful place and with the best host we had, which I can compare maybe only to an experience like 'six senses' and even more! The owner of the place knows each guest personally and takes care of everything we wanted - parking and charging our electric vehicle, laundry, recommended for restaurants, food and everything in one of the more magical places we've seen. The complex - the mother house, is unusually beautiful, and because of the limited number of guests, you feel completely that the place is yours. Martha was the best host we could have dreamed of! the place provides an infinity pool with a breathtaking view, a very high standard of rooms, thinking about every little detail, an excellent breakfast, a lovely teatime and the possibility of hiking around the estate. A dream place, highly recommended.

CanadaOur time at The Vagar Countryhouse was a trip highlight during a three-week trek around the entirety of Portugal. It is a stunning property with amazing bedding, delicious food, and a central location for touring local castles. Marta was an exceptional host. I can't say enough good things about our experience. The breakfasts were incredible.We enjoyed their salad and charcuterie board offerings one evening for dinner. Don't look any further if you seek a spot to feel pampered and welcome, out of the hustle and bustle of the coastal cities. Plus, leafing through several Architectural Digest magazines on display in the motherhouse and seeing our room featured was fun. Make sure to visit the castles of Sortelha and Monsanto.

United KingdomNothing significant.
We loved our stay at TheVagar - it really exceeded our expectations. The setting is absolutely stunning, with gorgeous views in every direction and it's an incredibly peaceful place. The facilities themselves that Marta and her family have built are excellent in terms of aesthetic design, comfort and cleanliness. Marta is always on hand to help, and nothing is too much trouble. We had some lovely food there, in particular the breakfast and we also had a great couples massage and baths which I highly recommend.
