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.).

SpainStaff was very kind but needs to be more professional. Restaurant is a bit expensive.
Beautiful building nicely decorated. Large and quiet swimming pool. Very large gymnasium and several sport activities free of charge (bicycles and standup paddle). Tasty breakfast.

PortugalBreakfast below expectations. The hotel's restaurant is too expensive for the type of service and food served. Little on offer in terms of wines.

PortugalThe location was ideal for us - very close to the motorcycle event that we were exhibiting at. Breakfast was the main meal that we consistently ate at the hotel and it was delicious and varied. The few dinners we had there were well prepared and presented and the service was of consistently high quality.

PortugalNothing major. The massage service didn't seem to be running during part of our stay (weekdays). It seems somewhat misguided given it was in August. Even though the restaurant provides great food and some alternatives, it can be a bit expensive for the value provided. There was a "plague" of bees near the exterior part of the restaurant that were very troublesome. I don't usually have problems with insects and animals, but in this case it was a bit too much and the hotel should try to arrange some solution. (Maybe for next year you need to plant flowers in the grounds a bit away from the main building so the bees go there instead of the hotel itself?)
Herdade da Cortesia is a very modernized hotel at the Maranhão Dam. The whole hotel is very well modernized and well equiped. The room was fantastic with all the modern decoration and equipment you could desire. Excellent TV, great WIFI coverage (through all the hotel), good bed, excellent bathroom, and every room has a Minibar, coffee machine, and an excellent balcony that in most cases has a great view. The Restaurant provides excellent food, with a fixed menu. Most of it consists of local dishes with some more "fine dining" twist, and it was very good. The deserts are also very good (try the Chocolate Mousse, it was traditional style with a very large portion). The breakfast is very well equipped and has a lot of dietary alternatives (for vegetarian people). The Hotel as an exterior infinity pool with a very decent size for the hotel. It has several sun loungers, and some puffs and mattresses you can use spread around. Hardly you will have issues having somewhere to sit. There are additional water sports services that you can take advantage, even though I didn't try.

United KingdomThe air-conditioning in the bedroom was useless. Only 5 rooms have walk-in showers; ours was over a bath and very cramped
Located in the wilds! Our mistake was using the hotel as a stop-over. Such a waste as there's loads to do. Staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. Strong ecological ethos, lovely infinity pool, subtle and charming decor throughout

BelgiumThe path around the lake was less walkable than it first seems, but really was not a big issue.
Excellent stay! We loved the rooms, service, people, setting. Perfect place to disconnect and get some real rest. Beautiful design and very very friendly staff. Delicious food both for breakfast and dinner with very nice service. Really loved it and would go back for sure!
