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 KingdomThe beds were a little firm for our ageing bodies!
Our stay was excellent. The hotel was very clean, the staff very professional and helpful. We especially enjoyed the food in the restaurant, which was one of the best we have found in Portugal. Indeed, we were surprised it was not better patronised. We would certai.nly stay there again.

United KingdomIt is a few years since I last stayed at the Bessa; I had forgotten what a good hotel it is - clean, modern, efficient and friendly. The staff were very helpful to accommodate my request for a late check out. Breakfast is always good there, and this time I had a couple of snacks in the bar in the evening, which were truly delicious.

United KingdomFor the price, nothing to complain. I would definitely visit this again. Would be nice to have usb c ports instead of normal USB A on the rooms to charge.
Probably the cheapest nice quality hotel you can find that's relatively close to the main popular areas in Porto. For the price, you can't get better. The gym is not worth going to nor the sauna but overall a nice experience. Also, don't get breakfast. You can get a much better cheaper meal going to local coffee shops next to Boavista Stadium.

IrelandThe rooms miss hooks in the bathroom for towels and a mirror outside the bathroom. The shower se up, as most hotels, does not keep the water from creating pools of water on the ground and I had to mop the floor with the towels after each shower. I could not open the window in the bathroom and there is no airing system for it.
The breakfast times and options were flexible - I welcomed that. Staff was very courteous and the hotel is very clean. The bed was very comfortable.

United KingdomThe hotel was far from the city centre although there is a bus close by. I felt that the price was a little on the high side for the location far from the city centre (unless you want to see Boavista play as the football ground is next door) and for the amenities provided.
Room was spotlessly clean, with a very large double bed and all standard amenities provided. We used the steam room (you will need to ask at reception to do this) which was very nice.

United KingdomThe reception took payment for the room without telling us. They only asked for the card I had booked with then gave a receipt. We actually wanted to pay with another card due to exchange costs. We asked if they could refund the card so we could repay with the correct card and was told NO
Good breakfast for the cost of €12 Lovely comfy bed and the hot tub was a great addition after a long day walking. Room was very clean. The only thing I would say that you have to get into a bath to take a shower which may cause some people difficulty
