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 KingdomThere are no complaints about this place. You will love it.
Ricardo was an amazing host, checking in with us before, during and after our holiday. He accommodated us with an early check in even though it meant his team had to rush to get the apartment ready for us. The apartment itself is perfect and in a great location... Clean, modern and fully kitted out with everything you will need.The view from the balcony of the beach and old town was beautiful. There are plenty of sunbeds at the pool which is beautifully clean and maintained, so no rushing about to get a sunbed in the morning. We had a lovely holiday here and can't wait to return!😊

The location in the quiet area, 3 minutes walk to the sandy beach. Walking distance to several restaurants. The swimmingpool. We loved our apartment ! Private, gatet parking. Big terrace/balcony with great view. Good, comfortable bed. Kitchen with anything you might need available. We felt very much at home as it is also light and well decorated. Last but not least, our host Ricardo & Jennifer are superb: very kind, quick replies whatsapp, nice sense of humour.

CanadaPillows could be better. If you plan to cook, bring condiments; no salt/pepper/spices/oil provided. Bring your own soap and shampoo.
Fantastic apartment for a couple. Washer/drier was a great bonus after a week of running around Porto, Lisbon, Faro, and everything in between. Great centrally located home base to visit coastal attractions from Sagres to Seville, Spain. View from the patio is beautiful..yes, you can see and hear the waves crash on a fantastic beach. Perfect spot for seashell hunter. We left wine and beer for the next guest...remember to pay it forward. You won't regret booking this rental.

PortugalThis apartment is in a gated complex where most of the permanent residents appear to be retired immigrants. The entire vibe is very laid back, very quiet. The check in team was great. I had clear instructions to the complex. They met me at the gate, took me to the apartment and gave me a quick tour. Very friendly. The apartment is clean, and has everything you'll need for a nice stay. There was even a sharp knife in the kitchen! The apartment has a great view of the beach, and the wall down to the beach takes only a couple of minutes. I had a quite nice stay.

United KingdomThere was nothing I would change.
We liked the view from the balcony looking over the pool and the sea view beyond. The apartment was lovely and clean. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed eating in a couple of evenings. It was a close walk to the beautiful long and sandy beach. The pool area was spacious and there were always sun beds available. There were plenty restaurants five minutes walk away. It was about an hours walk to the old part of Albufeira where we went to for dinner most evenings. The taxis to the old town cost about 5 euros. (We used uber).

IrelandThis gated secure property is located very close to the beach, restaurants and bars but also the property is quiet so you can get a good night sleep. You can walk to both the New and Old Town. The apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped, with a lovely balcony with sea views and over looking the pool.

CanadaIt was a little further from town than I thought. It was a 30 minute hilly walk to town. You could take an Uber for 5 Euro.
Beautiful property with impressive front entry gate and tree lined driveway to apartment. Elevators to go to higher floors. The apartment was equipped with high end appliances (Miele) and full size fridge. We loved the way to living room flowed out to the balcony with a beautiful view. Huge pool (not heated) that was crystal clear. 5 minute walk to the beach. Very quiet location with a chill vibe. Loved this property and would stay here again.

RomaniaI enjoyed very much the stay at Barracuda 14; one of my best ever: from the mornings with coffee on the balcony with a beautiful view over the ocean, to the peaceful afternoons at the complex pool to the coloured evenings on the paths alongside the ocean that are only 3 minute away...I really recommend this place. Jose answered any questions really quick and made our family stay one to remember and cherish.
