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.).

IcelandWow, this place is amazing! Yes it is a 15 minute drive on a dead end road, but when you get there you will be amazed. Very friendly and helpful staff, they made us feel very welcome and always willing to help. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to stay in a relaxing environment. Thank you Rita for your hospitality and Maria (the cat) for the chats over breakfast.

NetherlandsCommunication could be better, as we tried to contact the property via email before our stay without answers. Also during our stay, we asked whether we could get an earlier breakfast but could not get an answer on time. However, the owner was very welcoming.
The property is beautiful and well maintained, quite isolated so very quiet. You can do a nice 1.5km hike around the property vineyards. The multiple houses are very authentic. By car, in 15-20min you can reach Amarante and its restaurants / supermarkets.

CanadaThere was no decaffeinated coffee offered , so perhaps that could be a change. The road to the house is a bit daunting, especially in the dark.
Breakfast room was lovely and there was plenty of choices.... No other meals served but there was a very nice wine that we could , and did, purchase. They have provided a very nice walking trail through their vineyard and if the weather had been better we would have made better use of the pool. The views are amazing.

PortugalThere aren’t many negative points about the place, perhaps focusing a little bit more on having local produce at breakfast, which was probably my least favourite part. Supermarket cake, low quality cold meats, not the most appealing or flavourful food. Also, very poor lighting at night, the car parking was pitch black and made it difficult to walk around the place.
This place is ideal for some relaxing time listening to the nature and quietness that surrounds the location. The house was pleasant and comfortable and the rusticity of it made it even more beautiful.

United StatesIt is a pretty remote location, up a very windy road. She serves a great breakfast, but to get dinner we needed to travel at least 5 kilometers down the windy road to a restaurant that turned out to be closed the night we arrived. We were able to order pizza for delivery, but for what we got it wasn’t really worth it. That’s my only negative about this beautiful property.
The place was beautiful, a wonderful place to get away fro it all. The breakfast she served was great. Walking through the vineyard was peaceful. I would love to return someday.

United StatesIt is a little difficult to get to due to the narrow, winding roads in this part of Portugal. We did not venture out in the evening to the local town (Amarante) because we did not want to drive back in the dark.
This is an amazing place to stay in the countryside of Portugal. It is like being in a fairy tale while you are there. The grounds are quiet and charming with a pool on location. Breakfast is fresh and abundant, with a variety of foods for all taste buds. Hosts are on site and able to answer many questions and provide suggestions. Our cabin was spacious and clean with the expected amenities (towels, shampoo, etc). All around it was a wonderful, magical experience

Portugal- grass at the pool is very prickly with many spikes, you never can’t walk there without shoes - our room didn’t have microwave, so for eat something for the lunch or dinner we had to order delivery from Amarante (city near by) or go to restaurant (15min by car the nearest one) or eat something from the cans with cold salad. We weren’t hungry, but a little bit stressed at first days - we couldn’t use hotels WiFi: in the room and at the swimming pool too. Poor and not stable signal. We had our router from home and used it - no any hot food for the breakfast, but anyway it was good to have it because our room didn’t have any kitchen for cooking - if you are not so good driver, roads can be problematic, but as we noticed for ourselves: for the north it’s normal and everywhere - we wanted to come back in September, but rooms with the kitchen full booked already :)
- nature is amazing, hotel has private big area, with grape plantation - natures sounds and smells in the mornings - price and size of the room - till really good restaurant “O ministro” 15 minutes by car - cozy and beautiful sala for breakfast, every room has all staying the same table for the meal - everywhere was clean and are really cared about by owners - the fridge and the cattle in the room - hot water all time without any problems - area with swimming pool is so beautiful and pice fool - free and comfortable parking - around 20 minutes till Amarante (city with supermarkets, pharmacy, restaurants and nice walks).

Exceptional staff. Very quiet location. Beautiful property. Pool area looked very inviting, but it was a bit chilly to use. Thoughtfully restored family farm with tasteful attention to detail. It's a little away from Amarante proper but an easy drive into town through the beautiful countryside.?
