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 most minor observation I would make is that the hotel does not have a frontage as such. We were dropped off by a taxi driver who didn’t know either and left us. Fortunately a super friendly Vila Origens staff member and sorted us out.
Location could not be better. A continental breakfast is brought out with the waiter/ waitress describes each item. Coffee, juice and champagne served to you.

United StatesThis hotel is truly exceptional. The property is immaculate, with every detail carefully considered, from the perfectly kept plants to the thoughtfully selected room amenities. It strikes a rare balance between feeling quaint and grand. The pool area is stunning, complete with chaise lounges and inviting cabanas. The breakfast alone was worth the cost of the hotel, it set the tone for the entire stay. A generous spread of cured meats, a variety of cheeses, fresh pastries, and vibrant fruits made each morning feel indulgent and unhurried. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff; their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine understanding of hospitality are unmatched. In over a decade of travel, I haven’t experienced service quite like this. A true standout in Albufeira and worldwide. A special thank you to Vera, Ana, Paulo, and Kiki for your incredible hospitality—you made my stay unforgettable.

AustraliaOur room was the cosy room. Needed a little more space for luggage. Also was bit noisy late in the night. But still comfortable.
The staff were wonderful and very attentive. Thankyou again 🤗 for looking after us! The pool and daybeds amazing… And the breakfast was sublime. Very continental, super fresh with local produce complete with a glass of Moet. Very civilised!

United KingdomBecause the hotel is located a short distance from the Main Square it is inevitable that some of the music noise can still be heard in the bedroom until the early hours.
Design and decor in every small detail were a delight. The staff work together as though they are one family with a cleaner seen as being just as important as the manager! The ease of access to the beach and all the town restaurants was a real bonus.

United KingdomNothing really but I would have said the bedding we had was a bit ‘tired’ and could have been doing with being replaced but it didn’t impact on our stay at all.
Perfect location, 2-3 minute walk from nice shops, restaurants and bars but amazingly once you are in your room, you don’t hear the noise from outside. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and helpful and breakfast was amazing!!

United KingdomWhen on the terrace on a night the noise from the square below could be heard but once inside the room ,with doors closed there was no noise. Although it did not effect us anyone with difficulties walking be aware that this accommodation is in the old town above where the majority of bars,shops and restaurants are located and there are steps and slopes to navigate.
Accommodation wise, everything was first class. The staff made our stay,There was nothing that they would not do to make our stay a wonderful experience. They were always there but not intrusive.We asked for restaurant recommendations for a special birthday and they took the time to print out a list of local restaurants (we chose Staar and was not disappointed).The room was elegantly decorated, clean with it's own terrace overlooking the old town.

United KingdomVila Origens is one of the most beautiful hotels I have stayed in; it is a slice of heaven, a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle of Albufeira's old town. It is so relaxing at the hotel, it is very quiet, and the lovely team cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable. We felt very spoilt here, and we could have the best of both worlds with it being so close to the old town. It is a truly unique hotel in every way. The building and grounds are beautiful, the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast is fantastic. We loved it so much, we are planning to return next year.

United KingdomThere is nothing to dislike about this property everything was perfect
This is just a very special place the type of place you don’t want to tell people about just in case it gets too busy and you can’t get booked. The location is brilliant 2min walk to both the beach and old town Albuferia. Would like to thank all the staff for making our return visit to Villa Origens just as enjoyable as our first visit. All staff are very professional and friendly. 10/10 all the way 👏👏👏
