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.).

PortugalThe rrom was cold because we don't have control over the thermostat, is centralized. Plus, the air conditioner has a very loud noise when in stand by (is less noisy if it is working). In general, noise isolation is not good as well, you can eeasily hear your neighbors and the lift.
Clean, modern and straight forward the minimum to have a confortable stay. Breakfast is simple, but with enough options to satisfy all tastes.

GermanyWe had a very good time. The hotel is very close to the city centre and the walk to get there is lovely. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean and well furnished. The air conditioner in the room worked perfectly. The breakfast was the only thing that could be improved, but it was still good and offered both sweet and savoury food as well as seasonal fruit.

United KingdomThe room we stayed in was small and didn't really represent fair value for money. The hotel is located at the top of a hill, on a busy road.
Extremely helpful staff, who were friendly and personable. Nice location, close to public transport (local bus stop), the botanical gardens and the old town. Friendly cafe within 100 meters, plus a local convenience store 50m away.

We stayed at Hotel Botanico de Coimbra for several days in July. The hotel was well-managed, rooms were very comfortable and air conditioned, complementary wifi worked very well, and the hotel served a good light breakfast. There is a small bodega and cafe next door which made it very nice for drinks and other items. We very much enjoyed the stay and look forward to staying again in the future.

PortugalWe could listen a little bit the cars sound passing by the street outside, due to the proximity of it. They should have a bigger car parking, so we could park the car near (in front of the building. there's only place for 1 car), instead parked in the street behind the hotel at about 400m of it, (in matter of fact, there was no problem about it).
The breakfast was good and had much to choise. Located on a calm zone. The room was clean and the WC was new.

United StatesLocation is on a busy street, so there is a lot of street noise if you open the windows. If you opt for air conditioning, the a/c was a bit loud, at least in my room. I also had a room right by staircase, which meant I got all of the noise from the lobby, coming up the staircase. Parking was street parking a couple of blocks away. This ended up not being an issue, though.
While this was a little bit of a walk to the old town area, it was right by the botanical garden, so if the garden was open, you could walk through the garden. (Be prepared for hills in this town!!) Friendly staff. Decent breakfast.
