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.).

CanadaLighting at bathroom mirror was terrible and needs improvement. Irons should be in the room and 1 pillow for each guest is not adequate on the bed. I requested extras and did request an iron and these items was delivered promptly, however, an ironing board was not provided. The 13 euro per person breakfast was mediocre but the coffee and fresh squeezed juice was exceptional.
We loved the surroundings and peacefulness of the resort. The room was large and what we expected. The staff were wonderful and very accomodating.

Canada-The location is amazing BUT the police made it extremely difficult to get to the hotel. It added an additional 2hrs to get to the room. -Bella picked us up and helped get our car into the parking lot. Bella was amazing! She gave us a tour in the afternoon and showed us around. I think this should be her permanent job at the hotel. We got to see all of Sintra with her help! She was truly amazing!

United KingdomThe breakfast was fairly minimal and not good value. The rooms look great, very stylish and quirky, but no hangers and no drawers to unpack properly. I would have liked more than one pillow each although I'm sure they would have provided had we asked.
The thing we most loved about our stay was the location, the Quinta is a pleasant 10-minute walk from the historic centre of Sintra, nestling amongst lush and very long-established gardens with a timeless, back-to-nature feel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the whole place is atmospheric and peaceful. We weren't able to enjoy the garden due to wet weather but would be lovely later in the season.

United StatesMinding the sloped ceilings in the attic suite but we should have looked at the room photos more closely :>
Beautiful old world setting and buildings steeped in history. Lovely reception, staff was very warm, friendly, and incredible helpful-especially Francesca! The dinner was lovely, breakfast was simple but good and the original Medieval bar next door is not to be missed! That being said, the hotel location is complicated to find- you are just outside the heart of Sintra- which is conveniently within walking distance- but the roads are very challenging and crowded. Map it out in advance as any mapping apps you might use will have just enough of a lag for you to miss crucial turns. Once that happens, it's a 20-30 minute lap around the entire town again due to one-way traffic. Once you actually find the hotel, pull into the first driveway (carefully!), unload your car, then proceed down below to the amble parking area. The hotel was very gracious in letting us stay in their lot for the day so we could finish exploring.

United KingdomI had to ask for more coffee pods - room service didn't leave any. Confusion over British tea bags and confusion over milk - i got some in a small coffee pot in the end. Only bare hangers, scant storage space - looked stylish but not practical. Seats not comfortable but stylish..
Birdsong, stylish decor, coffee machine. gardens, pub next door, friendly staff.

United StatesThat we had to leave. Can’t wait to return next year.
The quintessential Sintra experience location. Attentive and knowledgeable staff - like Sorwar - who will ensure your stay is memorable and recommend wonderful places to visit. Food that rivals the finest restaurants in a rustic and welcoming setting. A magical place with amazing sunset view and convenient walking access to sites like Quinta de Regaleira, Quinta dos Lobos has everything that will make you remember Sintra’s fantastic environs.

United StatesNothing to say bad about property we loved it
The location was great we were able to visit the major tourist areas in one day. The staff were very kind and although we arrived late, they accommodated us with food. We loved it so much we came back two days later. The location is really for those that want to unplug from the world and reconnect with nature, location very tranquil.
