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 KingdomFriendly welcome, nice bar, room was clean and spacious with a view onto the street to people watch. Was a nice surprise to be able to use the pool facilities and a sister hotel down the road. Was perfect for a trip to Porto, although it is at the top of a hill but where isn't in Porto.

FranceI didn’t like: - the noise of the restaurant and bar downstairs (owned by the same owners). Noise due to clients, music, restaurant air extractor, changing room of the staff on the guest’s floor... - the breakfast: not a buffet, no eggs, mostly sugar and too small
I liked: - location is ideal to visit around by foot - reactivity of the staff - self check in - the bedroom

United KingdomThe pool has a drainage point on the bottom that's a bit sharp in places around the edge - my son cut his foot. (Not badly but not ideal either).
Access to the sister hotel's pool was key for us - thank goodness it was there, small but just what you needed especially with a 14 year old lad, keen to mess around! Staff were v helpful and friendly at all times. Our room itself was great, spacious and with a fab view out into the little street below - old part of town so beautiful. Location location location - near the tiny, steep streets (bring proper walking sandals/trainers - not flip flop-friendly!), the train station and down to the town and river. Breakfast was a highlight - expensive but we loved it (just once, as great cafes only a few mins away).

GermanyThe pool which was highlighted in the amenities was not on site, a 5 minute walk away which was enough to just make it annoying enough to not go check it out. The room was always left tidy enough by the staff but didn't have the feel of being really cleaned, exactly. Any trash that obviously was trash, like a pizza box that didn't fit into the little trashcan was left out by the staff after they cleaned our room. So it wasn't a big deal but didn't feel the way I think it should feel when you come back to your room after a day out exploring.
The location was great - easy proximity to a lot of shops and food and the room was spacious and comfortable!

United KingdomThe pool is not in this actual accommodation building, it is at another location around 5 minutes walk away. A code is given to enter. Very clean but just a slight inconvenient to have to walk to another location to use the pool. I would have been beneficial to have a small fridge in the room. Not the best if you have a car, it is a bit cheaper to park on the other side of the river and walk over.
Clean, presentable room and corridors. Very friendly host, extremely welcoming and very helpful with everything, where to go, where to visit and explore (e.g.) the place to go to get the best city views without any cost, recommendations for places to eat and drink, restaurants suited for all diets and the best wineries in the area. The host had taken time with us to explain all of this, as much time as we needed any questions to answer and a complementary drink and snack to help us feel welcome and relaxed.

United KingdomThere was nothing we did not like about the hotel.
The hotel was everything we could have wanted and more. The rooms were spacious (more spacious than some photos suggest) and very comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and modern and good quality towels were provided and replaced during our stay. The beds were extremely comfortable and bed linen was top quality. We really enjoyed our rooms being cleaned daily. Ricky was exceptional. He was so attentive, friendly, welcoming and his communication with us prior to and during our stay was top tier. We were a large group of 16 ladies with lots of needs which were all answered quickly by Ricky and his team. The location of the hotel was great, everything is in walkable distance and there are fantastic restaurants very close by.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike about the property.
From the moment we entered Alibi by YoursPorto we were made to feel extremely at home. The best welcome we have ever experienced. We arrived very early but Ricky spent time chatting and explaining about Alibi, it’s sister hotel and the area itself. We appreciated all the advice, recommendations and help received throughout our stay. The room was larger than we thought it would be and spotlessly clean. The hotel pool at their sister hotel, whilst only being small, was a welcome sanctuary away from the busy city. Again, we were made to feel extremely welcome by the staff. Towels provided, water and other drinks should we wish. We ate twice at the Alibi restaurant and were not disappointed. Typical Portuguese food was served to an exceptional standard. The staff, again were brilliant - Antonio (restaurant manager) and Ella were both very professional, friendly and informative about the menu and drinks - lovely cosy atmosphere in the restaurant. The wine bar at the front of the hotel was wonderful for a night cap. Bruno was very knowledgeable about the wines and ports and we enjoyed finding more out about the local wines/ports. You could also order food from the restaurant to eat at a table in the wine bar. All in all, as you may have guessed, we were very lucky to have found this amazing ‘boutique hotel’ - much better than any of the big hotels in the area.
