How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIrene is a really pleasant host of the B&B, who gave a lot of useful advice on nearby restaurants and bars. The Casa is very well maintained by the staff, who are super friendly. The rooftop terrace is a nice place to sit outside (covered for extensive sun or in our case heavy rainfall). We stayed in the 'Delfts blue' room which was decorated super cute. The breakfast was tasty and we felt so welcomed when we received the on-house mini bar drinks/snacks for free! Casa Alegria knows how to make clients happy by small gestures! Casa Alegria is also closely located near the Santiago diving center which was super convenient for us, and on a decent walking distance from the Museum of Resistance (so no need to take the 'van communal' for this, if you like to walk).
Just be informed that the bathroom is outside the room, but for private use by dedicated room guests only (which was not a problem for us). I am not quite sure if the warm breakfast side (e.g. bacon or banana pancakes) are remade when they are low in quality throughout breakfast hours. During our stay we had breakfast with 6 other guests, which caused a fast decrease of bacon - which was not replenished automatically while we were at the table. But maybe it is easily made when you request the staff to make some extra.

Verified reviewLovely big clean room, good WiFi, lots of extra touches including a mini bar. Lovely staff.
It's not the hotels fault, but the dogs on the street did not stop barking! Our first night, they barked pretty much all night! On our other 3 nights, they were constantly waking us up during the night.
Dear guest, Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to write a review. Please do not get me wrong, but we are a little bit confused. for hygiëne you rate us: 10 for comfort you rate us: 10 for staff you rate us: 10 for facilities you rate us: 10 for location you rate us: 10 for price quality you rate us: 10 But because dogs are barking, you rate Alegria with a 6. Although it is not our fault, the hardworking team is a kind of punished? sorry for asking, but we really do not understand... A review is for new possible clients to see how we are as Alegria. These guests do not see the 6 x 10. They only see the average 6. Me, for my team, feel very sorry for this. Again, thank you for choosing Alegria. We wish you happy travels. Team Alegria

Verified reviewThe location to the main street and the coastal walkway to the beaches were excellent The guest house is two houses, we were in a small room, only issue was no hanging area or coat hangers for clothes but overall the room was very tastefully done and the bed was super comfortable The staff are pleasant and helpful and the whole house is immaculately clean The breakfast on the roof terrace is very nice, the access is via a spiral staircase The pretty sitting area outside the guest house is very nice and relaxing and a tropical garden I would recommend and I definitely would visit again

Verified reviewSecond time at this nice and cosy place. It will be my home, when visiting cv for work. Lovely happy staff, and again a perfect breakfast on the rooftop. See you next month again.
Wifi sometimes slow, but totally not the fault of Alegria. They have a good system, but it is just not coming in sometimes (wifi company can do better I think!)
