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 KingdomThe mattress on the sofa bed could have been a more comfortable it did not provide enough support for two people. Parking was tight but this can't be helped. It was great to have a secured location to park the car.
Key collection was very easy. Having arrived earlier than expected, Viktoria met us at the apartment earlier than the check in time to hand over the keys and show us around the apartment and how to get to the parking and beach. Great location, furbished to a high standard with everything you could possibly need for a week! We received a message from Viktortia during the week to check our stay was okay and if we needed anything. Once out of the apartment block the walk to the beach was less than 1 minute! Plenty of restaurants and bars at reasonable prices on the door step.

We loved everything about this property, it was in a great location, flat was spacious and clean, the terrace was fabulous as very few people used the pool when we stayed. The lift saved a lot of steps and steep climbs.

United KingdomNothing really. Would have liked the pool to be a bit bigger but the sea is close so it didn't matter too much.
Location was excellent. View of the sea in the morning was amazing. Short walk down to the beach, which was a fantastic beach. Great walks along the beach at low tide to the neighbouring beaches. Restaurants in the area were great and good value.

IrelandMaybe have pool towels, but otherwise apt has everything a traveller needs.
We were greeted with a warm welcome by Victoria who showed us everything we needed to know re the apt and parking, she WhatsApped us the next day to make sure everything was OK, very thorough. Apt is newly refurbished with a full kitchen if you want to cook. Very comfy beds with great linen, we slept the whole night, every night. Apt has a safe, Nespresso cafe machine, microwave and fridge freezer, washing machine and dish washer. The apartment lift takes you to Olhos de Água and on to the beach. Each morning we took Cliff walks both east and west and returned via the beach. The landscape is stunning, similar to Big Sur in California and with little beach cafes/bars/restaurants along the shore to pause and have a drink. Lots of restaurants within 1 mins walking distance in both the lower and upper part of the old fishing village Olhos de Água and all were excellent. Large Intermarche supermarket 8 mins walk, bus stop to Albuferia 5 mins walk, Chinese run shop that sells “everything” 3 mins walk. Outdoor seating area with awning for full shade if desired. Light collapsible beach chairs are provided. I’d highly recommend this property and would return to this stunning place.

Nice bay, great landscape, many hiking possibilities, supermarkets & restaurants all in walking distance, easy and quick access to the beach (3 min - stairs or elevator to the little center of Olhos de Água).

United StatesWould be nice to provide some beach towels to use at the pool. When address given is inputed in Maps application or Google Maps you are taken to a different location nearby( hard if you drive your own car, hard for taxis or tuk-tuk drivers). Our suggestion was to pin the location in front of the building and give that as the actual location.
Excellent location, close to everything. Very well appointed apartment.
