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.).

A bit far from downtown Lisbon. The park and the coffee shops nearby were nice.

Verified reviewThe room was big which was serviced everyday and we had a little balcony which allowed us to see Marques De Pombal square. Walking distance to train station, car hire and botanical gardens. Raquel is an amazing manager of Magnolia, offering ideas of places to see, restaurants and Pastéis de Nata shops 🙂 The breakfast she puts out has everything one needs to start the day right! Exceptional place to stay thank you 🙏🏼

Verified reviewI would say the stay was very nice with comfortable bed and the breakfast was also good which had coffee, bread, yogurt, cakes, butter, eggs and thanks to raquel for making our checkin smooth on the first day. The place was very cleaned and even the bathroom was well maintained.
I think it was little bit outside city centre location. But at the door step there is a bus stop where you can take it to reach the city centre.

Verified reviewI like the atmosphere. The breakfast was decent and the host unbelievable friendly.
It was a little loudly at the morning and evening because people were closing the doors not properly but it was not that problematic, just something to mention.

Verified reviewThe host was lovely and the room cute and comfortable. Breakfast was fine.
I understood that we'd share a bathroom but not that it would be shared amongst three rooms. The bathroom we were allocated was the furthest away from our room, despite there being two shared bathrooms directly opposite us.

Verified reviewThe professionalism of the staff, who coordinated the entire communication process. Profound details as to operational service at the guest house and intensive list of places to eat and interesting places to visit. The location was absolutely perfect, a 10- 15 minutes bus drive away from the centre city. 👌
Having to share bathroom. As an elderly person, i think there should be a facility for a private bathroom. Having to get up during the night to go over to the bathroom was not really ideal for me. Also, it would have been nice to have access to kettle for hot drinks.

Verified reviewInstructions to access the guesthouse were a little complex but well explained and the owner responded quickly to questions. I had a problem entering at night, so rang and they were very helpful and sorted me out. Comfortable and pleasant room. There was road noise but it was fine. The shared bathroom was small but clean and had everything needed. Breakfast had a range of help yourself selections- and a lady organising breakfast was present, a good start to the day.

Verified reviewVery spacious room with a private bathroom. Everything was very clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot! Breakfast was also plentiful and very tasty. The staff was very friendly and helpful with many good recommendations for restaurants and navigating the city. We had a great stay.
The automatic light at the top of the steps before you enter Magnolia Guesthouse doesn’t come on until you are up there so it’s a little dark trying to navigate it.

Verified reviewClean bathroom, not crowded. Nice breakfast (bread,cheese,joughurt, some fruit,...) very nice staff. About 7 min walk to the metro station (downhill, be aware of the steep hill to the guesthouse).
Bed was a little bit hard for my liking. Windows looking toward a street (all rooms are on the first floor)-but it was not very loud.

Verified reviewMy second stay at Magnolia - and would definitely come back for a third time! Nice cosy rooms, excellent breakfast with homemade foods. Welcoming host and easy check-in & check-out. Good location with bus stops directly in front of the house and metro stop nearby. Grocery stores & shopping center at walking distance.
This is not an issue for me but important for people who are sensitive to sounds - the rooms are not particularly soundproof, they are also by the side of a large road so expect noise when you have the windows open
