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.).

The Castelo is a gem of a place, with very friendly and helpful staff, with lots of suggestions and advice on hand. We had the suite with incredible views over the bay, and there was nothing to fault about the room, which was well decorated, clean and comfy. Location is also good, just a few mins walk down to the beach and the main roads were all the bars and restaurants are located.

United Arab EmiratesThe size and privacy of the balconies seems to vary from room to room. Ours (room 11) was almost on the street level and quite small plus it was really just one long balcony divided by pot plants shared by 4 rooms, so was not very private. However, this was not really a major problem and could be quite social (if you fancied) as residents sit sipping their wine overlooking the stunning view.
This is the best place to stay in terms of the views, sitting on the balcony and looking over the bay was just the most relaxing experience. The location was perfect, so easy to walk into the village centre where there are excellent restaurants. The room itself (Room 11) was very large and the beds so comfortable and the bathroom great too. We had the option of breakfast being delivered in a basket once and it was great fun sitting on the balcony enjoying the contents. The staff were super friendly and parking even in the high season of July outside the Guest House was easy enough.

United StatesIf I had to nitpick, it would have been nice if there were screens on the balcony doors. It was nice to have them open with the ocean breeze but quite a few gnats/flies would come in as well. We didn't get any mosquitoes or bug bites, but annoying nonetheless. The AC in the bathroom did not work while we were there so it got quite hot in there when showering. We brought it to the attention of the staff but the issue wasn't addressed while we were there. The AC in the room worked perfectly.
We had a wonderful stay at Castelo. The incredible view is obviously what you come here for and it did not disappoint. We found the location convenient as we used it as a base to explore the rest of the western Algarve. It's also just a short walk into town where there are a lot of shops and restaurants. The staff was super friendly and gave good recommendations. The breakfast on the balcony was lovely, though we also opted to get breakfast in town a few times and found some great places as well. They lend you beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas which were easy to carry and very useful. The room itself was basic but clean and comfortable, which is all I was looking for. In reading other reviews, I was worried about a couple things coming in but they were not an issue in the end: Parking - I came in peak season in July and street parking was easy to find. Half the time I got a space right in front of the hotel. The other times I simply went around the corner, where there are many head-first parking spots. Noise - The hotel overlooks the main beach/plaza and there was often some event at night with music playing. With the windows/doors shut I could barely hear it. Disclaimer - I live in a large city though so maybe background noise just doesn't bother me as much as others.
