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 minus point was the lack of air conditioner. As we were ground floor by the street we weren’t comfortable keeping the windows open so it made for a constantly hot room.
Clean, good location, everything you need if you wanted to cook for yourself etc. Host was so friendly and helpful, nothing was a problem.

CroatiaThe location was great with a nice short walk to the town centre. There are basic supplies available in the bar which was very convenient. And the best thing about the accommodation is the manager Rui who really takes care of his guests. Thanks for everything Rui!

GermanyToo hot in the rooms. A bit of ‚walk‘ to the bathroom. Automatic light switches on in the corridor when other guests are arriving and makes one awake in the night shining into your room.
Everything was great. Kitchen well equipped. Great host. Very clean. Good location. Amazing terrace to sit in the mornings and evenings. You can borrow a sun umbrella for your beach trip. Comfortable beds.

United KingdomThe room was a bit chilly early mornings, the weather was not as expected at this time of the year and this could've been a factor. It turned for better on the last day of our stay.
The property is near central to Faro town and 10 minute walk to most city destinations. Staying in the centre was really helpful for us. Street parking available and safe for vehicles. The host Rui was especially warm and welcoming ensuring we had a good time. The cleanliness was top-notch and extra care is taken to keep high standards. I'd highly recommend this stay to anyone wishing to stay near the centre of city in Faro.

GermanyI booked this hostel for the second time – mostly because my flights usually arrive late at night in Faro, and I prefer not to travel to Portimão in the middle of the night. The hostel is super clean, full of charm, and Rui’s service is absolutely top-notch – 100 points! The “Bar of Trust” is always well stocked with coffee, water, beer, cocoa, etc. The outdoor area is perfect for relaxing or opening your laptop for some flexible work – Flexoffice à la Portugal. The Wi-Fi is excellent! A taxi ride from Faro Airport (FAO) costs around EUR 10–15. The train station in Faro, along with the central bus station for regional and long-distance buses, is within easy walking distance – around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your pace.

Excellent location. We were very pleased. The price-quality ratio is fully consistent. The owner sent an email with recommendations on places to shop and dine within walking distance. It was very nice.

United Kingdom**Title:** Exceptional Host – Above and Beyond Care! I can't say enough good things about Rui, our incredible host. During our stay, my daughter unexpectedly fell ill, and Rui went above and beyond to assist us in ways that I would never have expected. His genuine care and concern for our well-being turned a stressful situation into something much more manageable. The accommodation itself was wonderful—clean, comfortable, and well-located—but it’s Rui’s kindness and attentiveness that truly made our stay unforgettable. We felt so supported and safe thanks to his efforts. I highly recommend staying with Rui for anyone looking for not just a place to stay, but a host who truly cares.

United KingdomThe kitchen area is cleaned every day, and had most things you need. Just the one ceramic hob, so if there were lots wanting to cook, I can imagine it would be a bit crowded.
Very clean, good security, in renovated town house. Rui, the owner, was really helpful and communicative. Comfortable beds, clean sheets and nice white towels. Bathroom was compact, clean and everything worked.

GermanyIt was not in the center exactly but you could walk there in a few minutes and it was close to all amenities, including laundromats. But everything else was perfect.
The rooms and all the hostel were flawless, super clean and very cosy architecture with beautiful tiles. Rui the owner is very nice and helpful and taking good care to make everyone feel welcome. The room was spacious and had shelves, rack, a mirror, and all the basic facilities to feel at home. There was a kitchen where we could cook, have breakfast and prepare sandwiches. There was a big backyard with a table, perfect to hang out or have dinner. There was also a common area with a couch that we did't use much. The private toilet is flawless, very comfortable. We felt like home!
