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 KingdomGreat place to stay, will definitely stay there again. Location is perfect with easy walking to many of Lisbon highlights, just a bit of a climb to the castle which was well worth it. Easy joining instructions. Lots of restaurants close by, favourite was Discreto just through the archway.

AustraliaThe Emporium Suites is located in such a great area, walking distance to everything we wanted to see... or within walking distance to tram/bus stops for Belem and areas a bit further away. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The room we had was large, stylish and very clean. We loved it. There was air-conditioning, a kitchen and large bathroom. What's more, the room was really quiet despite being so close to restaurants, public transport etc. On our next trip to Lisbon, we'll definitely stay here again.

United StatesI loved it all!
Everything! It was the perfect studio for a solo traveler or couple. It was very spacious, with a cool mural and gorgeous colors in the room. Windows overlooked a busy square, and you could open the windows and look out through the trees to the river, but once closed they were completely soundproof. The kitchen was equipped with the basics, the bathroom had a bath tub and lots of hot water, and there were enough outlets for charging if you had an adapter. A safe, a place to put suitcase and hang clothes- it was all so comfortable. Female staff and/or owners were in the office everyday, and answered questions or concerns promptly via what’s app. Felt safe and supported there as a woman alone. Plus… GREAT location for starting any exploration of Lisbon. There’s even a little market in that block for food shopping if you get in late.

Lisbon was in party mode for Patron St. Anthony’s birthday and we enjoyed seeing all the traditional events. We met Sofia, Gui & Vera who could not have been more helpful to us. Thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thankyou.
