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.).

SwitzerlandDistance from the city centre is very far (30 min by walk). The apartment needs renovation. Not so many kitchen utensils. The towels were old.
The view from the apartment is beautiful. It was great to enjoy the whirlpool.

BrazilLocation is terrible although great views it’s a long walk from Morro de São Paulo and very hilly on broken paths. The closest beach is only 100metres away but you need to be half mountain goat to get there the route down is dangerous and slippy The resort offers a golf cart transfer that goes part of the journey from the boat to the hotel but you still have a long uphill walk to get to the apartment Maybe the apartment could provide bottles water in the fridge on arrival because the closet supermarket is 10 minutes walk away (Downhill) which means uphill on the way back 😂 The Supermarket can deliver to apartment but to wait 30minutes for water is a challenge
The standard of the apartment was great, It’s really well maintained with all the facilities. The staff are great and the apartments have amazing views.

NorwayEverything. Great location, great room and great staff. Alex and his team looked after us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Room was spotless, cleaned daily and had all the facilities required for our stay. Uninterupted view of the sea throughout the room and even more so from the balcony. Don't be worried about the fact it is on top of the hill and you think it may be too much there is a buggy on hand to take you down into the village and bring you back anytime you need it both drivers were exceptional and very helpful. Also, most of the restaurants offer delivery so you don't need to leave the room if you don't want to.

BrazilApparently Brazilian mosquitoes love Dutch people, and it was easy for them to enter the house as well.
We booked a very last minute stay here for 2 nights, but we wish we could have stayed here longer. The maisonette was amazing, together with the incredible view, the hot tub, and of course our host Alex, made the experience priceless. We read in the reviews before that it was a long walk to the residence, but it was better then we expected, (walking through jungle is not necessary) and in our opinion in a much nicer area of Morro de Sao Paulo. Also when you walk down you are at one of the prettiest beaches of the island in 10 minutes.

Beautiful house, well located and maintained to the high standard. Alex the host makes every effort to make sure the stay in his pousada is nothing but pleasure. Wonderful view. Peace and tranquility but also plenty options for those who would like to explore the island. All one need to enjoy some quality time. The ad and pictures fully reflect the pousada.

The view is really amazing. Waking up with the view on the bay is quite something. Apart from that, the equipment in the apartment was more than one could ask for (whirlpool, TV with Netflix and co., well -equipped kitchen). Furthermore Alex was extremely helpful throughout my stay.

United StatesNothing major! A small area for improvement would be having shampoo/soap or other small bathroom amenities there!
Alta Vista and Alex are amazing! We loved being a bit further away from the craziness of the first and second beach, but close enough to easily walk to dinner. In particular, we liked being halfway between the main downtown and the beauty of Gamboa beach which we went to most days! In terms of the facilities, the bed was comfortable, the AC was great, the jacuzzi on the balcony was amazing, and the shower was hot. More than anything, Alex was incredibly helpful. He helped us arrange transport to and from Morro, connected us with a massage, and with delivery food options.

PolandNot like we didn't like, but is important that people with locomotion problems know that to reach the place isn't exactly an easy task. You will need to face many stairs to reach the flats and getting there from the pier was quite tiring. The view from the flat and the whole experience was worthy though.
Everything amazing. The flat was spacious, clean, comfortable, amazing view to the sea, bathtub, all appliances for cooking, great bed. Flawless! Additionally we got access to the condominium's swimming pool that has an amazing view to the sea! Alex is very cool and was very helpful and always keeping a good atmosphere. Best staying in Morro ever. Totally recommend it.

FranceThe essential equipment was clean but old and in clear need of renewal. Something that is not stated in the description of the hotel is that the residence is in the middle of nature. This is nice when you want to see birds in the morning, but some animals and insects may also access the room, which doesn't have a protective web over the bed. However, we had a very bad experience when we came out of the room and found people cleaning the swimming pool without any warning or consideration that we still were in the apartment. Apparently, cleaners access the room from the upper floor, meaning that even when you close the door, you can still find people in your apartment without being aware of it.
The staff is helpful and does its best to help you in any situation. We loved bird-watching in the morning from the pool which has a wonderful view on the bay of Morro de SP's port.

Francepoor service, despite informing the arrival, We waited the host Alex in the middle of the residence after 20 minutes walk soaked and wet because of humidity. No refreshment in the apartment no minibar. You have to order everything from local from the outside and it takes forever to be delivered. Internet connection is really bad. No particular attention is given. It is outpriced for the poor service. not to mention the noisy neighbors when you expect to connect with the nature and you hear loud music.

GermanyI can´t understand the 10 out of 10 reviews here in booking. It´s not only the location and how to get there (if you want to have a view from top of a hill, it´s irrational to complain that you have a way upstairs that hill). But what we really felt, that this accomodation needs a lot of MAINTANENCE! Parts of the area were in a quite bad condition, especially the barbeque-place, with empty bottles still standing around, and a lot of rubbish in the corners. The water supply in the toilet of our apartment had to be turned on / off manually, if you don´t want to waste the water running 24/7. The shower infront of the apartment didn´t work due to a broken lever. We were afraid to use the swimming pool, because the color of the water signalised, that it hadn´t be changed or treated with chemicals for quite a while. Because of this we didn´t use the whirlpool either, because it was not possible for us to change the water inside. Alex is for sure a nice guy, but he needs someone professional, who knows how to run a resort like this. No reception. Communication only by whatsapp. Don´t expect some amenities like soap in the shower, bottle of water in the fridge, etc. Don´t expect to get something simple to drink or eat in this place - there is nothing! Too less towels, too less pillows. The bed too hard. Late cleaning in the room after we came back from the beach. The 50m-way to the beach in the description is a joke. If you want to go the direct way to the nearest beach - good luck to go this trail with your Havaianas! Alex, if you read this: Sorry, normally I would tell you this personally (in fact, this is the worst commentary that I have ever written in booking). But your "advise" in your last whatsapp (after we left) to give 10 of 10 points in EVERY category is presumptuous. Knowing this, I have an idea how the 10/10-reviews here in Booking were possible. Sorry to write all of this, but for us the stay felt like a big misunderstanding :-(
The view from the apartment was amazing. Many people already mentioned this and it´s absolutely true. In theory the apartment and the surrounding has everything to give you an unforgettable time on this interesting island.
