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 KingdomOutside blind did not close fully down and let light in to bedroom, was harder to get to sleep because of the light shining in. Communal TV area was very loud at 0100 and couldn’t sleep. Not the properties fault, just other inconsiderate guests.
Close to the airport. Friendly staff.

United KingdomPerhaps more amenities in relation to the area. Bicycle hire, paddle boards etc.
Location on the island is fantastic. A hidden gem compared to the rest of the algarve. Right in the heart of the firmosa. The hostel more like an apartment, very spacious and the views from the large patio of the lagoon are amazing. Super large lounge and kitchen to share with the other guests, feels like home from home. Caters for up to 15 people which is perfect. The bar and restaurant a short walk across the road. Love this place excellent value for money. I am returning shortly for another stay.

IrelandRoom was extremely small for 5 people room. athough air conditioner was mentioned on website. it was not working at all in my room . august is hot month for faro. so it became so unconfortable. Above all the staff lady who is also the day manager for hostel, was so rude. she was not putting any effort to make the Ac working.
The location of the hostel is great. it's near to the beach and other restaurants. hostel has its own very beautiful view of back waters. kitchen, lounge, bathroom, and sitting area was good.

Czech RepublicThere were quite many ants in the bathroom and terrace. My locker was broken. Nothing serious.
The setting of the house is lovely with a view from the terrace over the lagoon. Well equipped kitchen and dining tables. The location is on an island just a minute from a long beach. You get there by a ferry from the town and it is nearby the airport. You can watch the planes taking off all day flying just above your head. Still no problems with extreme noise. This place is good for meeting other ppl and chilling. Relaxing vibe.
