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.).

BelgiumNoisy!!!
Beautiful room, the view was ok as well, the location was good if you want to be in the center of the capital, but there were parties on the roof-terrace every evening! And although I really insisted on having a quiet place before booking, even mentioning that I would not come if it was not quiet, they didn't tell me in the advance so I was there and payed for Twe nights to sleep hardly anything before 1am, even wit earplugs. There was a kzkaoke bar in front, and a noicy pizzeria - grill next door, so it was awful. I guess for people who like to go out, and who sleep easy, it could be a good place to stay. And I was there in the weekend, so maybe other days are fine too... But I really didn't like it, although they were very friendly and the food was good and the room nice

United KingdomWe ate an evening meal once at the hotel restaurant and although the food was excellent, there is little atmosphere. We would easily have eaten there more often otherwise.
Location is excellent. There is a beach directly in front of the hotel (no loungers). But a ten minute walk to some comfortable beach resorts (cafes/loungers/toilets,etc). Breakfast more than adequate, with hot foods being cooked throughout the service. Roof-top bar a wonderful place for sunsets with really well-priced drinks. Lovely, helpful staff.

IrelandIf you're looking for a quiet night, it's not the best choice, due to the restaurant in front of the hotel entrance, with loud music and not closing before midnight. A good addition could be a mosquito net above beds, especially for customers who unfortunately tend to be very attractive for mosquitoes.
Excellent location, right in front of the beach: you can leave the hotel in swimsuits wrapped in your towel and you're on the beach! You can even watch the sunset from the rooftop, if not directly from your room balcony! Also located at the doorstep of the city centre, a couple of minutes' walk from restaurants on one side, or a couple of minutes' walk from the stunning white sand beach of Estoril on the other side. The staff is very nice and helpful, fixing any issue immediately. The room is very spacious, with comfy beds, bright and modern (very much appreciated the small fridge and safe in the room). Breakfast can be sufficient to be your only meal of the day, as there's a lot of choice, homemade cakes, pancakes, etc.

PortugalWould be nice to have a bottle of water in the room at least at arrival
I would say our stay at Ouril Hotel Águeda was average but not bad. We managed to book it at the last minute due to an issue with our original reservation at another place, and it turned out to be a decent choice. The location is great, just a 2-minute walk from a nice beach where you can swim or kite surf, and it's also close to the city center. The hotel has a gym on the top floor, though I didn’t get the chance to check it out. Breakfast was pretty standard, but it was sufficient to keep us from going hungry. Our room felt a bit dated with some prints on the walls, but it was clean, and we enjoyed a nice sea view from our tiny balcony. The bed was quite spacious—definitely king size. Overall, it met our needs for a last-minute stay!

United StatesThe place is dated and needs some renovation. Termites were eating the doors and falling on the floor. There was no fridge in the room, and no bottle of water was provided to guests. There was a little snake on the bathroom floor, and I had to put a towel over it and stepped on it to kill it. You don't expect to find these things in a hotel. I was very disappointed. Breakfast was also a big disappointment as nothing was replenished. If you made it late to breakfast around 9am, most items were gone, and whatever was left was what you would have.
The location and closeness to the beach.

SingaporeVery limited English at reception. Breakfast needs to be varied. Same stuff every day.
Superb location on Praia d Estoril. Walking distance to restaurants of Sal Rei and far enough from the noise. Third floor rooms with balconies have excellent views. Away from the monstrous large hotels. 50 m to the beach and it’s endless. Rooftop restaurant has good food. Rooms are large, spacious and clean. Internet wifi was good.

The location is great, walking distance to the beach (beach view from the small balcony I had was fantastic), town shops and markets, good restaurants. The area is calm and safe. The room met all the expectations and there were no "surprises". Especially, I wanna thank the hotel staff as they were extremely helpful (4AM check-in, organising a tour for me etc), friendly and made my stay, like they say on the island, "NO STRESS" for real. Rooftop terrace is awesome!
