How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe owner Cristina is such an amazing person I feel so honored and blessed to meet her during my Portugal trip. Even though I saw her for only 10 minutes, she made me feel home. The place is super clean and tidy I love her hospitality and support anytime her guests need.

Verified reviewThis place exuded positive vibes from the moment I arrived and throughout my 3 day stay the host Christina was so warm and kind. The place is stylish, clean and really well located near the main Avenida and only a short walk from the restaurants, cafes, ferries etc. As a solo traveller I felt safe, enjoyed meeting other guests, and had access to all the facilities I needed. I really hope to come back again in the future. I 100% recommend it! :)
I loved it- nothing I didn't like.

Verified reviewI was not sure about sharing a bathroom, but it is a common practice in most of the locally owned establishments in Olhão. There was no problem with that: two toilets, two showers, a great kitchen, and a dining room. Perfect condition, recently refurbished, but the roof terrace is the best! And the super friendly and understanding owners/managers. Definitely recommend

Verified reviewCristina was a wonderful host. All her recommendations for restaurants and things to do in Olhao were perfect. The location is ideal, just an 8 minute walk and you're at the waterfront. Also a free car park opposite was great for us. Had no issues finding a space each time (June). It was lovely to have access to a fully functioning kitchen and to breakfast on either the kitchen terrace or the roof. Thanks!
Nothing.

Verified reviewThe room was basic but clean. The outdoor areas were both well kept and nice to use. Very good location for the traditional town centre and sea, and practical for the bus and railway stations. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, they couldn't have done more!
Not the fault of the hosts but I was woken up when other guests were using the kitchen early (before 7am).

Verified reviewThe layout was great. Great to have a quiet rooftop breakfast every morning. Kiitchen and fridge facilities make it easy to do this. bathrooms were clean and not very busy despite all rooms being full. still felt quiet and comfortable. Also, as its a social atmosphere, made friends within the accom which was great.
the noise from the road outside, had to put some earplugs in but mostly ok to sleep.

Verified reviewCentral location within easy reach of old town and harbour. The property is comfortable and very well maintained. Cleanliness is 100%. Great value for money.
It was like a home from home. Shared bathroom/toilet facilities are not my preference but having said that, the facilities were maintained in pristine condition.
