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.).

AustraliaParking was tricky. The entrance to the garage is SUPER narrow and if you didn’t go straight on there was a risk in damaging the car. We left the car in the garage for the whole visit as we didn’t want to have to navigate in and out. But parking felt safe and secure.
Cute property with all of the lovely furnishings. Air conditioning worked very well and we were grateful being so hot. Well equipped fridge and kitchen. Close to all major attractions in downtown Porto.

United KingdomThere was a persistent noise we believe from the hob every 10-15 minutes for about 10 seconds,even though it wasn’t used. We could not find the WiFi “Sweet Porto” on the list on our devices.This was not a problem for us as we used Roaming on our phones,might be an issue for someone else.

United StatesGetting the keys is tricky if you are also trying to park a vehicle. The map they provide is great, but you have to access the keys from a lockbox on the street before you can get the garage door opener which will allow you to park. It's not difficult, you just need to plan ahead. We parked in a parking garage and then got the keys and moved the car. If you are renting a vehicle, don't get a medium sized car or anything bigger. You will need to fold in your mirrors when driving the tunnel to the parking area.
The location is right next to a popular shopping mall/street and the Balhao food market, so there is plenty to walk to. It's in a great part of the city, while also not being an incredible busy street. The apartment is spacious and the hosts were very responsive on WhatsApp.

United KingdomGreat location. Outside space/ terrace was excellent for relaxing after a days sightseeing. Parking was secure and just down the road (about 10 car lengths) on the opposite side of the road, the entrance was narrow but manageable with care. Keys were available from a box at no. 133, parking was at no. 125 and apartment was at 162. A couple of small Tawney Port bottle were a nice welcome. We would stay here again.

United StatesEverything was great though the studio was on the second floor and the building did not have an elevator so if you have trouble carrying your luggage up a couple of flights this may not be the best choice. Additionally the unit is a well designed studio and the bed is on the mezzanine level reached by an alternating staircase.
Clean, great location, accommodating host

NetherlandsThe stairs to the vide bedroom is dangerous and scary! I have a rheumatism and I almost fell twice. Not isolated, cold at night and the sound was loud. We came in late but probably the neighbors heard us as it is not soundproof. When there was a big truck driving by the appartement was shaking.
The aperitif was a cute touch! and easy contact with service team. (customer service) The size of the apartment and the stocked kitchen. Location was amazing! Affordable! Missed an iron and bread knife. We were presently surprised when we came in! Better than we expected. Small but cute balcony.

GermanyThe garage is not in the same building. They demand you to pay the city tax before you get the key. The office is in the central so it is difficult to reach by a car. There are many oneway and the street is narrow, but everyone is very kind. The garage door to open, you have to press close and close the door, press open.
The apartment was great! I loved the terass and wooden floor. Everything was OK and the bed was comfortable. I was there alone, but could come with a small family. It located in central so I could come back after shopping and went out again. There are so many shops and restaurants. You can get everwhere easily. I would visit here again in sommer.

New ZealandJust a helpful suggestion to have a double plug available in the kitchen. Everything else was great.
This apartment makes a great stay in Porto, especially if you have car. The location is perfect in the old city, so Park your car in the private, secure parking and then leave it and walk everywhere. It's just a short stroll to the main pedestrian street in the old town, and to great cafes, restaurants and the local historic sights. Also, just a 20min walk down to the river, with markets and riverside cafes and access to the river cruise. The apartment itself was spacious, light, well furnished, and very comfortable. Catarina was there to meet us and thoroughly explained everything and gave us a very helpful map and great tips for our time on Porto. Thank you, Sweet Potato Team, for a great stay.
