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.).

United KingdomOnly a few minor things but worth mentioning given the cost for 1 night - there were works going on by the pool when we were there (drilling and hammering) both days which we had to ask to stop, the sauna was broken and not in use and the pool needed a clean as there were many bugs in it.
Beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Stunning views, the rooms were amazingly comfortable and the food / bar served exquisite food. Pretty much a perfect hotel!

The view of Rio de Janeiro is breathtaking. The accommodation is simply very comfortable. The food is sublime, and the staff is very polite and sophisticated. The restaurant should be granted a Michelin star. The florest surrounding the estate is fantastic.

United KingdomThere is nothing I did not like but would just like to point out the swimming pool has no steps. Therefore entry and exit even from the shallow end was very difficult for my husband who is 70 and has had a knee replacement. The villa was so lovely I would not hesitate to book again but in 33 c this was an issue that I think could easily be rectified for others.
The Villa is beautiful in a gated area high above Rio and with a view of the bay, Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer which is second to none. The villa is stylish with lovely rooms and very good food. The staff are friendly and helpful.

United KingdomVila Santa Teresa is like a little slice of heaven! The service was super attentive (the WhatsApp service was great), the complex was clean, well furnished - and the bath (built into the floor) in our suite will live long in the memory. We also used the spa facilities (massage) and had the romantic meal for two (staging was lovely). The latter was five courses and the quality was top drawer.

United KingdomDifficulty to get an Uber but staff were able to hail yellow taxis easily. Slightly on pricey side but you really get exclusivity with this villa.
Gave us complimentary welcome drinks. Jasmine was really friendly & helpful - made the check in process really smooth. The room was lovely, clean & spacious. Overlooking an amazing view from the balcony. Breakfast was nice & Vinicius was attentive and friendly. We also tried their dinner menu & pool snacks. The food was outstanding.
