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 StatesProperty is a bit older but that is all part of the charm! We didn't get to use the pool and relaxing area because we were outdoors exploring the island, but the facilities look great.
Great little hotel in a beautiful, peaceful area. Awesome location to explore this side of the island. The staff was very friendly, greeted us with a warm welcome and toured us around and showed us our room upon arrival. The bathroom was renovated and modern, in great condition. Overall the hotel and our room were very clean and our stay was enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again. There is a restaurant downstairs and a nice simple continental breakfast is included. Free parking on site is also a great benefit.

LithuaniaThe soundproofing was not the best, and the hotel windows facing the church bell tower made it difficult to rest at times
Comfortable location, very clean and well-maintained. The hotel has a restaurant, swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna (available for an extra charge). Breakfast was tasty, though we would have appreciated a bit more variety. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The sangria was wonderful!

United KingdomEvening meals were OK, nothing special - we had hoped to get more traditional Portuguese food. And because there was no other restaurant within walking distance, we found 3 nights eating at the same place a little boring. The jacuzzi wasn't hot enough, so you didn't want to stay in long. The floor going into the changing area was really slippery, so watch out for that.
Big bedroom (we stayed in the old part of the building), good choice of breakfast, lovely staff.

United StatesSeems like it's a known issue but the water kept spilling out of the shower and onto the floor. Just made for using more towels than necessary and counterintuitive in asking that we save water by reusing towels. Luckily we awoke early but that church bell over by the side we stayed is plenty loud. We also came back late at night and notices that the path to the side entrance should be lit earlier to make it safer for guests. And finally, not everyone locks that side door. We came back once and the door was ajar and unlocked; I secured it once we entered. Oh yeah, everything is lock and key. If you close your room door and leave, all you've done is closed the door. You have to actively lock doors in this place. I like that; we've just gotten away from it with all the tech. In closing, my ma didn't like that there was no one on-site overnight.
Breakfast was good! Continental style. We were there visiting fam so we went to local spots and didn't get to go dinner at the restaurant but it seemed awesome. The entire vibe of the place was awesome. We also had gorgeous weather throughout our stay. Pool, sauna and jacuzzi...very nice!

RomaniaThe hotel is very chic and has a relaxing vibe. I had a great time here and the stuff was very friendly. I recommend this place. The location is in a small village where there are two more restaurants / bars and you can also eat at the hostel restaurant. The breakfast is basic, but there are good fresh fruits which I really liked, it would be great if they could add some more vegan options You can reach the village with bus or by taxi, in case you do not have a car. The pool is nice and you can enjoy it after a hike in the area.

PortugalThe wifi was weak in some areas of our room and the dining room. The hot tub was a little cool but the building the pool and hot tub was in was clean and so modern that it made up for it.
Great pool and grounds with many gardens, verandas, and porches to sit and enjoy the views. The hotel was very clean and comfortable with a lovely staff. There are two parking lots with free parking and many hikes within walking distance. We would definitely stay again. The staff was really helpful when we checked in last minute after finding our other accommodations infested with cockroaches.

NetherlandsSolar de Boaventura is a great venue, with a beautiful garden (that smells pretty good as well). The pool facilities are a big plus. The room was clean and tidy, but the beds were a bit old. The pillows were way too thin, just bad (I wouldn’t call it pillows to be honest). The bathroom has enough space and was sufficient. I hate to say it, but the food at breakfast was pretty mediocre. And the rooms and hallway are quite noisy. Outside there is enough parking place. Looking back, Boaventura was a bit far away from activities I did (but with the short distances on the island that is not a big problem).
