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.).

United KingdomI can't actually fault the accommodation, but if you have an aversion to hills or steps, Vila Castelo Parque and Ferragudo itself probably isn't the place for you.
There's much to commend this property, even before you enter the front door - the location is perfect, both for the main beach in Ferragudo, Praia Grande and for this picturesque town itself. The pre-stay communication was thorough and full of information and when I met the reception staff, they were absolutely excellent, very helpful and with faultless English. When the occasional housekeeping issue arose, it was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I also had a garage space with this property, which was a bonus. The apartment is huge, with a very large lounge/dining area, well-equipped kitchen, bedroom and bathroom downstairs and by means of an impressive spiral staircase, and additional bedroom, bathroom and utility room. An absolute pleasure to stay here.

United KingdomA few more basic provisions in the kitchen like olive oil, salt and pepper would have been useful, but only a very minor inconvenience.
Everything was well organised and the communication before we arrived was excellent. The apartment furnishings were very comfy and it was a short walk to the town centre.

AustraliaThe washing machine. The day before leaving we went out at 10am came back at 6pm and the washing machine just wouldn’t stop. It washed over and over. We couldn’t get the door open. We left the next day with a load of wet washing! New clothes came out looking old as they were continually washing & spinning over and over.
Great location. Spacious property very very quiet as at the end of summer.

United KingdomLimited menu at the poolside bar. The toasties were too big!! Too filling.
I loved the comms before arrival. Flight into Faro airport landed at 10pm so needed an after hours access. Comms explained key pad and key safe and location of apartment. Very useful after a long day of travel ending with a 50 minute drive on unfamiliar roads in the dark. Welcome pack meant a nice cup of tea was available. In the morning our breath was taken away by the views from the balcony, the light, the space, the comfort. Our apartment was two self contained flats. Both with double beds and bathrooms. Our kids didn’t want to share so our 12 year old son let his 15 year old sister have the bedroom and he was given a spare bed in the living room. Although he ended up using the much more comfortable sofa for two weeks. Spotless and the staff were so very helpful. Pool was never too crowded with always room to find a sun lounger. Location was within 10 minutes slow walk to restaurants and bars of Ferragudo and 5 minutes walk to Praia Grande with it’s beach and cafe/restaurants. A little slice of heaven for two weeks. Would love to return.

South AfricaBeds in main room were not as comfortable as expected.esp since rest if apartment was 5 star. Was not aware that the apartments was 3 floors up with no lift. It was OK for us, but if I had a tiddler and pram, or elderly parent it woyld have been a serious problem about which we were not warned
Apartment on top floor gave us a beautiful view of sunsets and a bit of Harbour. Jacuzzi was a wonderful bonus. Used it more than once daily. Problem with aircon was sorted out by owner very quickly. Kitchen appliances, crockery, cutlery very good quality
