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 KingdomWe had a faulty Aircon in the room and it kept turning itself off at night so it was hot
We stayed half board so the food was nice and whilst we stayed they had two themed dinners which was amazing. The indoor pool, hot tube and sauna was nice as well as the outdoor pool. Very child friendly, with one afternoon where they had a live singer by the pool. Also they sent some room service of a chocolate lava cake for my daughters birthday, a nice touch to end our staycation.

PortugalIn the room, the noise of the minibar working at night, it’s disturbing and caused a not so good night.
Like most hotels in the Vila Galé family, it’s good. A little update on the rooms, and will be great.

PortugalI missed having a electric kettle to make some tea in the room. There is also a huge waiting queue for breakfast in the morning. Maybe cause it's high season and the hotel was full.
The hotel is very clean and in a nice location.

Austriavery crowded overall as large groups of tourists are brought by pullman to the hotel. the facilities handle the volumes well but breakfast and pool experiences are unavoidably affected
modern hotel on the outskirts of Coimbra. The surroundings are somewhat bare and unappealing but a good 15 min walk takes you to the historic center of town. the hotel offers parking for a reasonable fee. the pool is large and offers entertainment for children

PortugalThe location is not ideal if you looking to explore the older parts of the city on foot. But perfectly fine if you coming by train and need a few days to relax by the pool or at the spa. The dinner prices for some meals at the restaurant are a bit higher than expected.
The hotel pool was the real star, especially during these hot summer days. With a lovely setup for families with a smaller pool for the little kids. A nice pool bar offering some meals and cocktails. The staff overall were super friendly and helpful. Rooms were kept clean and the morning breakfast offered a good variety.

CanadaCarpets in the room did not look clean. There were absolutely no plugs in the room to connect phones, tablets, this was actually a dislike as it is unheard of nowadays. I didn't like, but it's not a deal breaker, that even when the room had an awesome view it could not be enjoyed as the large windows were facing the sun all day long. Had to have blackout curtains drawn the entire day. Something to avert the direct sun light like an awning over the balcony could be a good idea.
Spacious bathroom with a window, nice view, good pool and bar, good breakfast and restaurant, spacious parking although narrow exit/entrance to it. Close to center but not walking distance.
