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 hotel staff were exceptional. We were arrived in Lisbon after a tiring flight, were dropped off by Uber around the corner and were unsure of the best way to get to the hotel with our heavy luggage. We called and a minute later, a brawny guy came to our rescue and carried our luggage to the hotel with a smile. All the staff were helpful with great recommendations for dinners etc. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the linens special. The water was fiercely hot. The bathroom fixtures looked brand new. Breakfast is in a lovely room. Fresh squeezed orange juice, honey dripping from a honey comb and a nice viariety of fruits, breads, made to order omelets etc. Again the staff could not be more accommodating. We visited at a very hot time of year and the AC made the room fiercely cold. Yay! The location is ideal for walking everywhere you want to be in Lisbon.
There was a beautiful free spa with steam room, sauna and "hot tub". The hot tub is at 89F (which I think now is typical for Portugal?) We would have gone in if it were over 100F.

Verified reviewA unique experience at a one-of-a-kind property, located in a prime spot for walking (or taking the metro) to all of the highlights in Lisbon, Sintra, etc. Especially helpful recommendations from the staff. Delicious breakfast with everything you would want. A peaceful oasis with a spectacular view in the middle of a very busy city. Highly recommend and already miss our stay here!

Verified reviewFrom the minute I booked this accommodation the service has been incredible. I emailed requesting a few special requests and they responded promptly. When we arrived, although it took a moment to find the hidden gem, we were blown away! The rooms are incredible, I highly recommend the jacuzzi rooms! The honesty bar is lovely! The breakfast is delicious, the spa is amazing and the whole property is so clean and romantic. The spa is a lovely added touch with steam room, sauna and jacuzzi and a lovely place to relax after a long day. In the rooms there is a full mini bar, coffee machine and complimentary wine. The beds are so comfortable, the linens and towels of great quality. The attention to detail is phenomenal. The pool is a little smaller than the pictures give the impression of but this didn’t matter as we used our terrace to sunbath and rest!
Two minor items to feedback, only because we loved it so much and think these couple of things could make it even better! 1( It was difficult to find… could do with a bigger sign.. & 2) taxi’s couldn’t come to the property.

Verified reviewThe place is amazing with nice small pool, jacuzzi, sauna and turkish bath. Greatly appreciated complementary bottle of wine and the staff was very professional.
The suggestion that I feel to make Is maybe a sign on the street since the entrance is hidden between to big bushes.

Verified reviewWe fell in love with Casa Balthazar for it's very human, personal atmosphere - something you rarely find in big chain hotels. A big part of that feeling came from Yuran, the kind and helpful young man at the reception. Always smiling, attentive and ready to assist, he made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived to the evening before our early departure. We felt truly cared for. Beautifully served breakfast was delicious and generous, there is always a coffee and tea and a cake that you cannot resist available in a common area near reception. Our room was tastefully decorated and the bedding and linens were impeccable. It felt like staying in someone's beautiful home than a hotel. We were sad to leave. Thank you, dear Casa Balthazar!

Verified reviewThe location was fantastic. In Chiado, in a bustling area with lots to see and do, and in the heart of Lisbon, but felt very relaxed. The staff were all really friendly and professional. Breakfast was delicious. The spa and pool were lovely but the hot tub with views over the city and castle was the real showstopper. (We were in Jacuzzi room 3) I really can't speak highly enough of the place! It looked perfect online but the reality was so much better
Nothing to report

Verified reviewThe location of Casa Balthazar was perfect for all the different places we wanted to see. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a large shower and good air conditioning. The breakfast room was lovely as was the food and pastries. I would definitely stay here again & try for a jacuzzi suite with a view.
We arrived before 2 and wanted to store our luggage but there wasn't anyone to answer the door.

Breakfast was a bit basic but we liked the hotel and the staff was very nice. We recommend the staff to have red wine at the bar. We had to go out to buy a bottle to enjoy at the jacuzzi

Verified reviewThe staff was so attentive and helpful for anything we needed – restaurant suggestions, and directions, car service to hotel, and back to airport, water, bringing breakfast to our room due to an early flight. Just exceptional and so kind!
The pool is small, we refrain from going one day because they were already 10 people in it and not much room for others. However, it’s still very cozy.
