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.).

PortugalEverything was so perfect! The only thing is I like my baths super super hot and the water wasn't as hot as I expected. It really didn't matter to me but I know others might care.
I came here for my final visa appointment for my immigration and decided to stay somewhere that looked nice so that I would be comfortable and stress free. WOWWW I was so surprised!! This is a true Palace - not just the name of the accommodation. The staff was so kind (especially Miguel who checked me in and gave me an excellent tour after my 8,5 hr bus ride from Lagos). This is definitely a luxury stay which far exceeded my expectations given the more affordable pricing. It feels uniquely cozy and extravagant at the same time. Each guest gets access to the grounds, spa, pool, and self-serve bar. I highly recommend if you're looking for a nice stop on a road trip or a luxury stay at a reasonable price point. I didn't have a car, but I would recommend renting one if you spend a few days here to explore the surrounding areas and hikes. I took a lot of pictures and shared this experience on my social media pages @RoamAwayFromHome_ on Instagram and a YouTube soon at Roam Away From Home if you want to see. :) I was honestly so impressed with the staff and grounds that I decided to document my experience (originally, I wanted to keep it private because I was there for immigration stuff but ended up being just too happy not to share).

It is rare to enjoy a hotel breakfast being waited on. The Portelegre Palace makes the breakfast buffet scrum disappear as you are waited on hand and foot. Plus the breakfast was scrummy!
