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.).

United KingdomNothing, it was all amazing.. I have been to many 5 star resorts all over the world but this 4 star resort had the best customer service I have ever experienced. I will definitely recommend you to everyone.
I just want to thank everyone at NH Portimao Marina Hotel for looking after me and my daughter from 20-23 May 2024. Everyone was so helpful from the staff at the reception who went above and beyond for us, to the guy who works at the emergency team who came to help call ambulance when my daughter shoved a Lego up her nose (sorry I don’t know your name but you know who you are). I also want to thank the whole team at The Marina Deck restaurant for doing EVERYTHING in their power to help me and my daughter. I can’t express how grateful I am, honestly I am writing this with a tear in my eye from how grateful I am. My 4 year old daughter has autism as well as coeliac disease so feeding her is very difficult as she can only eat gluten free and she can have quite bad tantrums when she is not comfortable. On day 1 when this happened at Dinner the lady Maria I think her name was (curly hair and glasses) was so so so helpful and the gentleman who worked with her that day. They did everything they could when they saw I was struggling with my daughter. Maria then spoke to her colleagues to make sure they all know my daughter has special needs and therefore they did everything to accommodate her. On my third dinner visit a lady called Carla helped us because she was advised by Maria of my daughters condition, she gave us a table at the back in a quiet area and she served the buffet dinner to us directly. She put the tv on for my daughter on a cartoon channel and asked the chef to make my daughter gluten free potato chips (fries) with gluten free ketchup as she saw I was struggling to feed her what was on the menu. These two ladies Maria and Carla deserve big praise for their amazing efforts and I left them both a tip with their colleague at the front desk so I hope they receive it. Again thank you to everyone in NH Portimao Resort. I couldn’t be more grateful to all of you for making my daughters holiday an amazing one.

IrelandFeels like it is in need of a bit of a spruce up in areas. I think they are mid doing that though. Can be a little loud in the evenings. We could hear music 1 or 2 nights. Not too loud so didn’t bother us too much but there is a road nearby that had loud bikes going up and down. The doors aren’t designed to keep out noise. The pool isn’t heated and was therefore quite cold for young kids.
Beautiful pool area. Lovely rooms and balcony. We moved from marina sun to marina beach and glad we did as there would be a longer walk from there to the beach area. The beds were super comfortable. Really interesting incentive to reduce the amount of housekeeping. If you don’t need housekeeping some of the days of your stay you get a free drink. Breakfast was possibly the best brekkie I’ve ever had in a hotel. Super close to the beach and the main road in Praia da rocha ( bar the hills and steps) and super close to the beach club. They also provided us with a cot for our baby.

United KingdomOverall good stay! Mattress was springy and a little uncomfortable (not too bad.) Lighting options in the room were a little dim for my liking, but not a big deal. Restaurant on site with good food.
Nice hotel/resort. Pool was nice and quiet, perhaps due to off season. Good hotel, nice rooms.

New ZealandWe had an ant and insect invasion in our bathroom every day. Told cleaners, reception & nothing was done. I expected some kind of apology or reimbursement but nothing. Cleaners just cleaned the dead insects daily. Also booked a marina view room and had a pool room instead.
Great facilities, wonderful pool area, great buffet breakfast. Amazing location for Dnb all stars festival. Very friendly staff.

Everything, good location close to the beach, everything within walking distance, Ubers are super cheap, nice spacious and clean room with small kitchenette, staff were lovely and helpful, nice pool area, lovely views of the marina. I can imagine how busy and popular the hotel gets in the summer.

PortugalI have to drive my car between my room and reception. Of course hotel has transfer - golf eletric car, but i like to have autonomy and not always asking for transport to go to reception or breakfast.
Great breakfast, but it was long distance from my studio. I don't appreciate the concept just for a night.

South AfricaThe cleaning of our room was not the same time every day. We had to make our own bed which i didn't mind but the dishes we also had to wash. I would suggest to put dishwash liquid in the rooms with additional cloths.
The breakfast was amazing and my husband enjoyed it every morning. Just a pity we couldn't take anything to our room as i am not a 'big' eater. We did not make use of the pool cos the weather was too cold. Location quite far from where we wanted to be.

NetherlandsThe kitchenette is super basic. There were no tea towels, washing up liquid and only one pan you could use for soup. It's not much use other than making a salad or sandwich or heating up your take away. The marina and parking lot next to the hotel is public space and several times during my stay, people would take their cars for a spin and play loud music at night. If you are a light sleeper like me, not ideal for a good night's sleep.
Unique hotel next to the marine with colorful buildings. I was in one of the Marina Sun rooms which is about a 7 minute walk from the main building. Balcony in the sun was wonderful with a view of the marina. The location is a bit far from everything, but not a problem for me as I like to walk and the quiet. They have a golf cart service to bring you to the beach, which is great. The room was sunny and large with a comfy bed and sofa bed. Breakfast is excellent. So many different options, warm and cold, sweet and savoury . I was a bit sceptical at first, but they even have a lot of vegan options. Perfect stay for a short stay in Portimao!

Loved the location and a very nice property. The pool area is very nice and a nice walkway around the Marina. Beach is close to walk to as well as restaurants and shops. Property is very clean and staff are excellent. The breakfast is excellent…a large variety of foods and very impressive
