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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

Fantastic location a stones throw from bus station and the marina. Lively area so can be noisy at the weekend but worth being so close to restaurants etc. Honesty box was great idea in kitchen

NetherlandsWe really enjoyed our stay in Faro. The rooms were exceptionally beautiful and tidy, with comfortable beds, and the location was super central. The rooftop terrace was delightful, and the kitchen, equipped with everything you need, was stunning. Additionally, our interaction with Paulo was very pleasant; he assisted us with everything. Thank you very much!

CanadaParking was a bit hard to find. Some noise from local pubs during Rugby tournaments could be heard at night but I didn't mind as I knew we were in a central city place.
This was my favourite place to stay during our 2 week trip to the Algarves. The host was perfect. I accidentally left my hat there and he made sure I got it back. The place itself is absolutely charming and different from any place I had stayed in before. It has both a rich historical vibe but with modern amenities about it that is difficult to describe. I loved the old piano room with the high painted ceilings. I loved the kitchen set up , it had available beer and coffee to purchase! I loved our room which was perfectly set up with high ceilings and windows and decorated simply and practically and very clean. The beds were very comfy. I loved the shared terrace. I wish we could have stayed longer in this great place. It was easy to find and use the codes to get in, and just steps from the front door is a neat artsy store, a variety store and restaurants. Its on a street you cannot drive so parking is to be found a bit further away. I LOVED this place.

GermanyEverything was just amazing. The guesthouse is so beautiful, the kitchen looks like it’s straight out of a museum. There is a spacious terrace, where you can even see the sea. Paulo was so nice and helpful with everything and he told us a bit about the house and how they renovated it. Beds were comfy, the location is very central and convenient and you can walk everywhere from here.

United KingdomSound-proofing around the doors wasn’t the best as you could hear every tiny sound that was happening in the hallway. However once people were in their rooms it was completely silent which was good. Also the en-suite bathroom setup was really strange - a curtain instead of a door to separate the room from the toilet and then a shower cubicle with a window to the room (there’s a blind that can shield the window but i don’t understand why this was designed as such in the first place). It’s fine if you’re travelling solo but may be awkward if travelling with friends
Perfect location - just a few minutes walk from the bus station and near lots of shops and restaurants and the main strip. Air con worked really well and there’s a cute little terrace. Kitchen has all the amenities you could require. Overall this place was the perfect stay for my needs :)

GermanyBeing located in an old building, the premisses are accessible via pretty steep stairs. For the same reason, the rooms are not extremely well soundproofed. Furthermore, unfortunately, the bathroom/shower are only separated from the room by curtains.
Paulo, the owner, was immensely friendly, polite and accommodating of our needs (e.g. moving a table to the room, so I can work remotely, or letting us leave our luggage and stay in the premisses after check-out), which we're very thankful for. Also Paulo's employee, Mónica, was very considerate and cordial. The room and the entire premisses looked clean, fresh and well-kept, being the first accommodation in Portugal where I could not see mold in the bathroom/shower area. The kitchen is well-equiped and also looks and feels cozy. The location is very central, with easy access to the ferries and beautiful locations in the historical center.

The manager was so nice, he answered all our questions and gave us many advices on exploring the city. He helped us find our ring which was forgotten in the room and put our luggage in the lounge. The hotel is centrally located, by a very short time reaching the port and the train station. There were many stores and restaurants around the area.

There is noise outside, but the windows are really good, so you will see a difference as soon as you close them. Everything is walking distance. Really had a great time!
