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.).

CanadaThis is such a beautiful building and the room was quite spacious. It even had a 4 poster bed which was very comfortable. We checked in on Valentines day and to our surprise one of the staff delivered champagne and strawberries to our room! There were already complimentary treats in the room, some cookies and chocolates. Nice breakfast selection.

FinlandAbsolutely lovely and very helpful staff, clean and well decorated rooms. I arrived by motorbike and they offered my a space for it in a locked garage at no extra fee. Good breakfast with some warm foods as well. Location just off the main street of the village with everything within (very short) walking distance. Would stay again! :)

United KingdomIt very closely resembles a Pousada but it lacks the quality of Pousadas with the furniture a little worn, but it is far better value than a Pousada. Breakfast was good but probably a bit below the average we encountered in our two week tour.
The Convento is a beautiful old building in a lovely, quiet town which we very much liked. It is well positioned for exploring the Eastern area of Portugal. Our room was spacious, overlooked the pool - which we did not use but looked very good, the interior cloister was an attractive space. The hotel does not have its own restaurant but there are a couple within a short walk. We tried both but much preferred O'Acafrao where staff were much friendlier, the food first class, the house wine excellent and the price very reasonable. The hotel has a bar which does provide good, light snacks.

PortugalSuch an historical place should be taken care with attention. Here, unfortunately everything was a bit rundown. Very poor breakfast with no service. The staff could not make an omolet, only scramble eggs... Cleanliness in the bathroom could be improved.
The building is charming and beautiful and has a lot of potential. Central location in the village. Kind team.
