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.).

IsraelThe room itself was not comfortable. The way it’s designed feels impractical – there is no door to the bathroom, so you can hear EVERYTHING from the bed, which is far from romantic. The lower floor of the room is not user-friendly, quite dark, and the coffee corner is located downstairs at the end of the room, while the sink and trash bin are at the end upstairs inside the bathroom area. Also, the stairs between the two levels have no railing. No body mirror, just a very small one from chest up at the bathroom. For the high price, especially for an upgraded room, we expected more comfort. The hotel itself is beautiful, but the room was not to our taste.
The whole accommodation is beautifully designed, great breakfast, very nice staff, enjoyed the spa.

United KingdomThe service let down the overall experience. We often waited a long time for food/drinks, and sometimes never got what we ordered. The staff were very polite and apologetic, but the overall experience was let down by this. They also seemed quite stressed which impacted our experience.
The location and the site is absolutely stunning. The pool is gorgeous and our vineyard room was lovely. We did a walk nearby and the hotel staff dropped us off and told us the route which was great.

United KingdomMyself and a friend had a lovely stay at Lavandeira Douro, right from the offset the staff were excellent and welcoming, we were collected from Mosteirô station and given a brief tour of the surrounding areas that we could possibly visit in our stay. The resort its-self is vast and offers a wide variety of activities from wondering around the vineyards, visiting the car museum and lounging by the pool. Getting around the resort can be done either by walking or on request a golf buggy from your accommodation. Our accommodation was Casa do Olival placed at the top end of the resort in a nice secluded area with little noise and a garden terrace to utilise. The accommodation itself is modern minimalist style offering all the essentials. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would love to return. :)

IsraelStaff was not very helpful. They were very nice but were lacking the ability to provide good solutions to simple challanges. Also, there are no vegetables during breakfest, and overall, the coulinary does not suit the hotel name, which refers to health and wellness.

CanadaNothing - we loved it all.
We loved every minute of our experience at Lavandeira. The staff was welcoming and very friendly. We particularly enjoyed learning about the properties wines from Philippe - he went above and beyond to make our stay special. The property is beautiful and our room exceeded our expectations. It was a bit quieter on the Monday and Tuesday when so stayed so we also had the spa and swimming pools to ourselves - we were spoiled! We are telling our friends and family about the hotel and would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway - with amazing wine & food of course!

PortugalIf you are doing improvements cover with a wall, got dirty by sitting in the bar sofas. Isolate the main door of the room on casa senhorial (you can hear the noise of other guests) since the ambience and temperature is world class while being in a classical home.
