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 KingdomNot a bad point as such, just took me a day to get used to the layout and location of doors/keys.
Breakfast was nice a selection of cheese, ham, fruit, fresh bread and scrambled eggs on request. Hotel staff were superb: exceptionally friendly and helpful - impeccable service. Room was nice, fridge, comfy bed, good aircon, walk in shower. Balcony was a nice suntrap from 14:00 onwards and lovely to have the breeze on warm days, meandering it's way through the room. The hotel has a massive stock of wine, port and cheeses etc. We very much recommend sampling the port at the hotel. Location is superb, right in the heart of old town. Five minute walk to the bus and train station, public transport is cheap and affordable. Free pool table was in a nice room to play in. Loads of restaurants within a few minutes walk. Virtually everyone speaks some english. People in the Algarve are very friendly and helpful.

United StatesThe layout of the building is like a maze. More attention needs to be devoted to maintenance details as the building is old. It would have been nice to have better towels.
The breakfast was delicious and beautifully served. The wine tasting we had was excellent and reasonably priced. The food at dinner was superb and beautifully presented. The owners and staff treat guests like part of the family and do their utmost to take care of them well.

Beautiful guest house, owners & staff were so friendly & helpful. We loved our stay, we loved the breakfast experience & the owners catered very well for my gluten free husband which we really appreciated. Our bedroom & bathroom were spacious with lovely bedlinen, towels & toiletries. We enjoyed the port tasting with Pedro & would recommend doing that during your stay. If you want to stay in Faro, then look no further, we were super impressed with this amazing place. It is close to the old town, lovely restaurants & cafes plus great transport links.

United StatesIt was great, no notes !
This place is a hidden gem! We were delighted and every turn. The house was cozy and comfortable. The owner is a wine expert and very passionate about the fabulous wine collection they have. We decided to have dinner there, and it was one of the most amazing meals of our lives seafood, and the most delicious wines and ports. We really appreciated all of the care. The owner took to explain the wines and share their passion about it.

United KingdomTerrace needs some work, canapy broken, arms permanently extended. Exposed brickwork makes it very ugly, needs plants, flowers, decorative lights to make it a relaxing environment. In the bathroom the toilet seat needs tightening and a glass for toothbrushes would be good. Did ask for one but it never arrived. Charge to make a coffee seems a bit cheeky.

United KingdomGreat location and wonderful hosts at this boutique hotel. . We had a delayed arrival but they still put on a great cheese board and wine in arrival at 10pm. The breakfast was great with a wide choice of continental offerings . As our host specialised in wine we did a wine tasting which was excellent and good value for the quality of what we had . Room and facilities were good . We rarely return anywhere but we will go back to Opus one. The Wifi password was your home and that is exactly how they made us feel .
