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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

Absolutely adorable accommodation with great food, the most friendly and helpful staff, and right in town next to the beach.

SpainWhile we can't evaluate all the room's AC units, I believe Hotel Vila do Mar could enhance the guest experience by upgrading their indoor split air conditioning units. This improvement would contribute to a more comfortable stay.
We appreciated the hotel's layout, the friendly and attentive staff, the wonderful breakfast options, and the perfect location, which made staying here so enjoyable. Each of these elements contributes to a welcoming and comfortable experience for guests.

GermanyDue to the location at the beach, there was some noise from people partying.
Gorgeously maintained with a lot of taste. Had a great time there, even though it was raining a lot. Affordably priced food and drinks. Super nice staff, even though only a few were speaking English. Great location very close to the beach.

EgyptThe only thing I didn’t like was the bed, it was super super hard. You can definitely hear the party all around you, so if you want a quiet stay, maybe bring some ear plugs.
Would recommend Pousada Vila do Mar to anyone! It’s a beautiful property right in the heart of Búzios. The staff is wonderful, breakfast is good, and the rooms are spacious. We spring for a suite with a beach view and could watch each sunset from our room - spectacular!

United Kingdomthe whole hotel us built on a steep hill so you need to be quote fit to negotiate all the steps up and down to the hotel - and to your room. remember to hand your key in to request room servicing. one of the air conditioners was a bit noisy. the pool and sun deck are not very large.
we were welcomed by Lucas at reception who was very helpful and charming throughout our stay. our suite had a stunning view over the bay and was very comfortable. breakfast was excellent and the service quite charming.

United StatesWe had to change rooms due to termites eating out the wood and littering on the bed. In t’room #3 the tv had no channels (could use smart tvs in the rooms), a light switch didn’t work, the warm water faucet in the sink didn’t work, build-up clogged the shower head (I cleaned it) and the AC had either a weak battery or other issues and turning on/off and changing modes was difficult.
We liked the location and the friendliness of the staff. The breakfast and the decorations in the pousada and in the rooms.

United Kingdomdue to the old styled lay out of the hotel, there are some small gaps under the doors and on the roof leading to bugs coming into your room and into your bed. breakfast is a set menu so might not like what you get due to the location being so good, unfortunately at night time it can get very loud going on until 6/7am, out of the hotels control
