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.).

IrelandTaxi service very poor, not customer friendly.
Cleanliness and location. Beautiful restaurant A Tasca across the road had fabulous food and very reasonable prices. Was a lovely walk through the old town to the centre with lovely quirky lane ways. People very friendly and the seafood is excellent. This is our 2nd visit and we would return. There is a train station which takes you to fuseta beach in 6 minutes, for 3 euros return, absolutely beautiful.

United KingdomDidn't like the fact that one cannot eat in the room. Sometimes one buys pizza or sandwich and want to eat in room, but felt guilty as it was not allowed. Thought there might be a kettle for tea making facilities, I had my own tea and sugar but was disappointed that couldn't make morning tea in room.....BUT equally understand it was a Hostel and maybe more for younger people.
The room and location was nice and convenient. Easily accessible. Not far from the sea front. Parking available if one had a car. area seemed quite safe.

United KingdomCan’t really say there was anything I didn’t like. The keypad system is great but just hoping no one sees anybody entering it as you use the front door
Loved having electric shutters opening out to the balcony, especially as you open them to the morning Sun. The rooftop terrace was great too

PortugalNot exactly "didn't like". The place was just enough for a short stay, but lacks some would-be-good-to-have extras like a table and chair to work in the room. The room was smallish, but again, not much more was needed.
Totally met expectations: clean, straightforward accommodation, easy to get by and with good value for money. Just 10 min walking from the river front in the old city centre.

Good location as a base to explore the east Algarve. The place is only a few minutes walk from the centre of Olhao. The bed was very comfortable. The room was clean enough and had a working aircon unit to keep us warm. Overall a good stay and I would be happy to return.

Czech RepublicThere was nobody at reception, anonymous place just with codes. Nobody to show you around.I don't know what facilities there were, kitchen, terrace? Because I didn't feel like trying to open all the doors in this building to find out. The building was more like an office building than a hostel.The room was not cosy like if beds put inside an office. Problems with aircon..it was freezing.
The place was clean. The location was quiet good near the centre. There was a modern and clean bathroom inside the room.

FranceAlthough sufficient, I wish there was more equipment in the kitchen, like trays, a peeler, knifes. A drying rack on the roof would have been good too.
An ideal and quiet location within a beautiful fishermen town, between a local market with a wide range of fresh goods, a lively marina, basic necessity shops, and more. The friendly and welcoming staff also introduces guests to the area's cultural heritage and recreational attractions.
