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.).

ItalyI booked a private room with a balcony to the sea and when I arrived I was told that I’m gonna stay in the studio in front of the street. I understand that for some this might be an upgrade but lots of space yet a bedroom without windows is not something I enjoy and I looked specifically for a balcony and light in bedroom so it wasn’t a nice surprise. Anyways it’s was clean and worked for one night stay.
The central location and the accessible rooftop terrace was great, housing clean and hosts were kind.

United KingdomAs with any period property my room was not blessed with ensuite and it was down a couple of flights of stairs, I think that 'bathroom' was specifically allocated. The stairs also make it impractical for anyone with mobility issues... I am 73 but it was very OK for me!
My room, booked as a basic stay without breakfast included, exceeded my expectations. The hosts Rosie and Gino were very friendly, Gino enjoyed telling their guests about their journey and Rosie made a brilliant hostess her cooking skills were awesome she clearly in my opinion enjoyed doing it. I cannot remember the ladies name, perhaps Jenny, that helps to run their empire but she got about her business in a very organised and smiley manner... This particular house was perfectly located in the 'old town' a tiny looking outside opened up into a delightful Tardis of a place inside. Gino from Belgium and Rosie and her very engaging smile a native of Portugal their son already despite his relatively young age clearly full of life... I ate out quite close in the evening in a very good restaurant, and before and after my 'free' breakfast enjoyed Olhao much more than I had anticipated, the walk to and from the train about an unhurried 10mins...

United KingdomThe stairs to my room are very steep and very narrow, nothing they can do about this as it's a very traditional home. If you struggle with stairs then just take this into consideration. The room would benefit from a self in the shower and hook for towels, again nothing major just a suggestion.
The hosts are lovely easy going warm and inviting people. The location is great as is the roof top selenium with sea view and very comfy seating/lounging. Room was beautiful. Bed was comfy on the softer side.

GermanyBeautiful house hidden in the small streets of Olhao, amazing panoramic view from the roof terrace with cosy chairs, where I enjoyed breakfast in the morning sun - after a sporty steep climb up the stairs. The room was beautiful, a combination of traditional and rustic elements with modern comfort. Gino and Rosi were so welcoming and went out of their way to make everything great. The breakfast was amazing! Nice kitchen to prepare coffee or something to eat. The location was perfect, a short walk to the market, the Ria Formosa, and the harbour to go to the Islands.

SwitzerlandWould suggest that a door to the bathroom be added. Sea views are not from first floor balcony but from the roof. For the record some local taxes for Olhão Municipality are collected by the owner on site. This was unexpected but better to be aware.
Quirky and nicely updated fisherman’s home very close to the markets, shops and shoreline of the Ria Formosa. Very nice owners, Rose and Gino. Comfortable room with bathroom and balcony. Good and filling breakfast freshly prepared by Rose each morning. Lovely to chat to other guests at breakfast. Magnificent views of the sea from the rooftop.

FranceThe downside of such quaintness is the parking. Basically find a space and leave until departure! Which did make several trips back and forwards to unload luggage. Up side everything is close by. For those not as fit as we would wish, there is no lift.
Location was in the old part of Olhao. Narrow cobbled streets, old fishermen cottages that are biggthan appear. Very quiet and peaceful. Our welcome by Rose was very warm and welcoming. Very helpful with local knowledge. Breakfast plentiful and the traditional Christmas bread/cake an added treat. We were lucky to have the top floor room with a wonderful balcony, bit chily at Christmas though. Shared use of the Kitchen was a bonus.
