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.).

IrelandWalk to shop is about 12 mins, nearest is Spar but bigger shops 5mins by taxi. Having a car would be handy but not necessary. We used Uber which was cheap and very fast.
Such a lovely apartment and pool. So quiet and peaceful. Great sized apartments with 2 bathrooms and great sized bedrooms, flat screen tv and great private bbq and sunbathing area. No need to go get sunbeds in the morning and pool was a perfect size. Lovely play area for kids with the overall garden and flowers very well kept. The apartment felt very safe and secure with shutters, screens and locks of doors windows etc. Private little area for washing and hanging out clothes in the front. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Stair-gates at top and bottom of stairs. Washing machine. Balcony off main bedroom. 4 sunbeds in private patio. Kids pool. Sports bar 3 min walk up road. Insect screen doors on sliding door. AC in bed rooms.

United KingdomJust cleanliness. These could be amazing but the cleaning which only happened every 3 days was nothing more than a quick mop of the floors and a change of towels. We had a 10m ant trail running right through the property which was reported on day 1 and again to the cleaners when they arrived and they never did anything about it. We stayed 5 days and they were still there when we left. I followed the cleaners into the toilets after they left and they hadn’t cleaned the sinks or toilets, just mopping the floors.
Lovely pool area with plenty comfortable beds. Excellent patio area with your own beds, BBQ, table and chairs. Spacious property with good facilities. Although a little isolated it was easy to get an Uber to town for under €10. Owner was very flexible to allow us to keep the property until 1pm as we had a 4pm flight home which was really appreciated. We had no kids with us but it did look perfect for families with young children as it was a nice safe area for keeping an eye on them with good facilities.

IrelandOur air conditioning wasn't very strong although we didn't fully need it for our stay. The location of the property is abit remote and a car is preferable if possible. It's a pity there isn't a village there however Spar is within walking distance along with a few other restaurants and bars. We went to Scooby's bar a few times which is very close by & the kids loved it there as they also have a playground.
Fantastic for small children! Lovely little playground, grassy area & kids pool. Liked the way the private terrace locked to keep kids safe. The accommodation was very roomy and we were very comfortable. Thought the added touches of baby stair gates were an excellent feature too.

Loved staying here. Went with my friends and their 2 kids. The apartment is very spacious, and 2 bathrooms available! The patio area leading to the pool was our favourite! We did go end of september and still had a few nice neighbours to share the space but we mostly has it to ourselves. Staff and cleaning ladies came regularly and everything was kept nice and clean. It isnt close(by walk) to many options for food and groceries… but if u have car its very handy as we went to a few beaches and the main albufeira town centre at night that was perfect ! We would definitely go back and stay more days here .

IrelandThe dogs over the wall do bark a lot 🤣 I had read this in a previous review so was prepared with ear plugs. Bathroom showers were good but maybe require a little update. Perhaps some toiletries would be a nice touch but not a deal breaker.
Great location, lovely pool, great space and good facilities, kitchen well stocked with oven, hob, microwave and Nespresso machine. Spar nearby within walking distance. We used Ubers which were good value to shopping centre, slide and splash etc. We walked into albufeira another day which was lovely. Lots of parking though if you have a car.

UkraineIt is far away from supermarkets and city center, better to have a car or use taxi. They do not provide free swimming pool towels and shampoo or shower gel. It was unexpected to not have simple cosmetics provided. Also there is no cleaning. We were staying for 10 days and they cleaned only one time when I ask them. All other time no cleaning.
Very quite and perfect place for families. Big villa with everything you need for cooking. Beautiful beaches around (Castello beach is 15 min walk or 3 min by car), very cozy evenings in the garden with grill. Nice swimming pool area, kids playground, clean green territory. 5 min drive to the Albufeira city center - we used Uber for 4 Eur. We had lovely time with our family.

United KingdomThe first day cleaning wasn't very nice. The floor was not mopped properly, band was hair left. Some shelfes and handles could be usufulll too.
Simply the best holidays ever! This was one of the best places that I ever booked for my holidays. Location is the best, very calm and away from busy areas, with lots of amenities that you need and a small 15min walk to the castelo beach. The pool is very big and clean. The children pool was the best. My daughter had a lot of fun there. The apartment it is huge and has a barbecue. I relaxed so much and had a lovely time with my husband and family. The rooms are big and very comfy. I only would add some shelfes. The first day the cleaning wasn't very nice, but the next days was perfect. 2 cleaners came always to change the towels and mop the floor and take the rubbish. The owner (I think) at the reception was very kind, friendly and funny. Thank you so much for this wonderful holidays. I am planning my next holidays for next year already with family at this place.
