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.).

CanadaThe room is not very spacious and had limited places to hang or organize our stuff. Also, need to be careful exiting the place, since there's no sidewalk and narrow street right putting a foot out. Other than that, excellent value for the price.
Location was great for us. A 5 mins drive to the parking and then 5 mins walk to the bridge to access the University and river park. Great breakfast and clean room. Very friendly staff and nicely decorated and cozy place.

PortugalThere is nothing I can think of that could be improved, it was in every way an outstanding experience.
What an amazing experience! The space itself is beautiful and clearly kept up with pride and love, it was spotless. The grounds and outside space were gorgeous and very inviting. Beautiful rooms. There were so many thoughtful details, in the rooms they left a small bottle of homemade brandy from grapes from the property and there was fresh made cake in the kitchen when we arrived. The staff and owner were extremely hospitable and friendly and had excellent recommendations for local restaurants and activities. And the breakfast was excellent! Overall this was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. Highly recommend!

Oryza is a unique property with a lot of character. It was clean and comfortable and Luis is an extremely helpful host. The breakfasts are wonderful with bread, home made jams, pastries, eggs, fruit, yoghurt, etc., enough to get us going for the day. Guests have access to a lounge, a room where they can bring in their own food and a wonderful outdoor space.

If this place is available book it!! An amazing beautifully restored guesthouse 5 minutes drive from Coimbra. Edgar and Louis were fabulous, more than helpful with recommendations of what to do in Coimbra.We spent one day just at the pool and walking the beautiful grounds. Breakfast is served straight from the community farm - so fresh and tasty. The room was big and bright, the bed was so comfy. The nicest place I have stayed with amazing staff.I will certainly return!

SwitzerlandEverything was great.
Great venue that was renovated to keep its historic charm but provides all the modern conveniences such as AC, rain shower, TV. Breakfast area and food is phenomenal, atmosphere not comparable to any other place I’ve stayed before. We only stayed one night so didn’t have sufficient time to walk the farm and as we stayed beginning of April, we did not use the pool. We will definitely come back - Oryza is on my list to make a detour when we’ll be next in PT.

The staff (Luis and Edgar) are incredibly friendly and helpful. They gave us information about things to do in Coimbra and made great recommendations! The property is a historic building that is well maintained and beautiful. There is an organic garden on the back of the property and we love all the fresh produce from there. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Coimbra.

The breakfast was delicious, fresh, plentiful and had a wide variety of offerings. The location was ideal - a short distance from the centre of Coimbra yet in the country with a beautiful courtyard and orange grove and garden plots, chickens and a bamboo forest if you take a walk down the back of the property. Luis, the owner, was informative, gracious, accommodating and helpful. Five stars! Ten stars!

PortugalI found this place by chance, looking for a room while a family member was at the nearby hospital, the Centro Cirurgico Coimbra. It was minutes away, which was convenient. I was amazed by the entire place. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable, with a lovely bathroom. Breakfast was excellent, in a lovely setting with a view to the garden. This used to be a family mansion - a Quinta - renovated to keep both the original character and authenticity while offering modern accommodations. It felt like home. The staff and the owner are delightful, friendly people who make you feel welcome. The Oryza house is a true gem, hidden in a village only a few km from Coimbra center. It was perfect!
