Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

PortugalThe decoration was a bit too much for me, a bit of touch up here and there would be good Proper restaurant would have been nice, food offered for room service did look to interesting Breakfast could have been better, a bit of a downer, considering the region, I would have expected better quality and regional products (also here, less is more)
I very much liked location and the building, the views very beautiful The renovation is not exactly up to par, a bit too kitsch, plus less is more in my view. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great to see that this hotel provides water for guests, as well as fruit and cookies Bringing a pet is no problem Very good sized rooms and bathrooms

United KingdomIt very closely resembles a Pousada but it lacks the quality of Pousadas with the furniture a little worn, but it is far better value than a Pousada. Breakfast was good but probably a bit below the average we encountered in our two week tour.
The Convento is a beautiful old building in a lovely, quiet town which we very much liked. It is well positioned for exploring the Eastern area of Portugal. Our room was spacious, overlooked the pool - which we did not use but looked very good, the interior cloister was an attractive space. The hotel does not have its own restaurant but there are a couple within a short walk. We tried both but much preferred O'Acafrao where staff were much friendlier, the food first class, the house wine excellent and the price very reasonable. The hotel has a bar which does provide good, light snacks.

United KingdomEverything else. Parking was on nearby waste ground. Our superior room booking said “This room has a four poster bed”. It didn’t. Nor did it have a terrace or balcony although lots of the rooms did. There was one small window overlooking the ground floor roof, one chair which meant we had to sit on the bed, four coat hangers for two people spending five nights , the AC was very poor, the bed and pillows were hard, the breakfast was dreadful, our room was dark and in order to use the socket to charge our phone we had to unplug the room phone and the bedside light. The staff were not in any way friendly or helpful. An extremely uncomfortable and disappointing stay.
The shower wasn’t bad and there was a small fridge in the room.

We checked in on Valentines day and to our surprise one of the staff delivered champagne and strawberries to our room! There were already complimentary treats in the room, some cookies and chocolates. Nice breakfast selection.
