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.).

What an excellent welcome! 👏 impecable staff great architecture and design. John the doorman was particularly welcoming. As were reception on arrival and departure. Very gracious of gratuity. Cleanliness was excellent. Service in Paper Moon was impecable. Great food also. The only reason I haven't given 10 is that on the day of checkout. Houskeeping knock about 0900 "When are you leaving?" "12" I say . She looks irritated . She arrives at my room 1157. Don't ask . Give me until my checkout time. Get a list of early checkout from reception and leave me be. This is rude 😒 . Thank you for an excellent stay 🙏

United KingdomW hotel implemented a 10% service charge while we were there. It’s discretionary but it was applied on every bill and you if you want it to be taken off, you have to have say.
It is pure luxury and trendy, comes with a cost but worth it if you’re looking for a special hotel. ALL furnishings were so comfortable. The beds/mattresses are incredible - can guarantee you a good nights sleep. The staff are brilliant and so welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble and they genuinely take the time to get to know you.

PortugalThe ladies changing rooms in the spa were not replenished with clean robes and towels. So when I got shown a locker to use by a staff member, she pointed out a free one which i realised had a wet used robe in it. I asked spa reception for a clean robe and they quickly provided one. Slippers for spa also seem a bit old and worn out
Really nice big rooms. staff were excellent and very friendly. Ordered room service ( burger and cheesecake) which was all delicious and arrived quickly. Great pool area and private beach!

NetherlandsMinor things: 1) WiFi didn’t work until they provided us with a code. A bit annoying but not a biggie. 2) Restaurants are good but a bit expensive. They do offer a list of restaurant recommendations that were all great in my experience.
1) Amazing staff: I was never so well treated in my many years of travel. 2) Amazing ocean views: waking up looking at the ocean was so refreshing. 3) Beautiful pool, and I went in April, wasn’t crowded. Truly amazing place to sun tan and rest and swim. 4) Room was spotless clean, very comfy, with lots of areas to chill. 5) Close to beautiful beaches: and I recommend Galé in a short distance away down the main road versus the beaches down the rocks ( my personal preference) - easier to swim in the ocean. 10/10 experience, I would definitely come back.

United KingdomA few things were closed due to being out of season but was not a problem.
Views from the 4th floor room over the ocean was fantastic. Breakfast at the market garden was great with the allacarte and buffet options. The heated outdoor jacuzzi pool was great despite the weather. The Paper Moon restaurant was excellent. The rooms were large with large living area and balcony with comfy sofa. Beds were huge queen size and very comfortable. Walk down to the beach through pine forest was nice. Staff were lovely, very welcoming and helpful.

PortugalFor such a big new resort the main pool area feel as it could be bigger. In the summer months I m afraid it would be crowded...And free space is definitely there. Breakfast was uninspiring.. but again it was low season and low occupancy. Some design options feel cheap and already showing wear signs, but overall manageable, at least for now.
New, modern, with good vibes. Room confort is superb. The room is huge, silent, with efficient AC, great bed, great cleanliness and comfort overall. The room balcony is a great place to relax. Really appreciated the outdoor heated jacuzzi which is rather big and nice to use in the winter times. Great temperature! Amazing gym. Nice bath amenities. Gardens are huge and perfectly cared.
