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):
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.).

PortugalNothing to the with the property maybe but i could not feel safe at dark / night because of dogs barking everywhere around the town at night. yet short taxi ride from the beachfront anyways
* Very nice welcoming by the owner, dear Maury and his sweet little son <3 * Everything clean, nice, presized, arranged, thought, prepared, cared with love and attention with extra care ... here ! * The room and the bathroom pretty spaciously large ! * Room was cleaned next morning since I forgot to tell that no need. * My room had some morning sun. * There is a net for mosquitoes. * Bed/mattress is not with springs its sponge type, yet pretty large size. (no small fridge) . * Small table with mirror and chair is helpful. Also having a fan in the room is excellent. * Bathroom has a bide if you like. * Excellent breakfast with all basic essentials, all made/prepared by Maury. Must try his homemade yogurt, and cake too. * Except check-in&out times, main door is locked and all guests can access to upper levels/rooms by side entrance with extra key, for security. There are signs of cams around the building too. * Location is 5-10 mins walk to the main seaside cost of Sal Rei. Post office, main shops, Chinese stores, local bars, bicas, cafes, restaurant, beaches and the Pier is walking distance. People around/on the streets are nice and welcoming. Just be aware with dogs at night time) And main Port is also nearby area. There is another beach near by (Praia de Cruz and Cabral but not ideal for sunbathing or swimming. Yet cute restaurant Cafe Alma Criola is nice! look for the CreoloTour people at lunch time, good tour! ) * Maury contacted me directly on W.app to check and arrange my arrival. Very kind and efficient. Can arrange taxi for you Yet all drivers know the B&B Salinas. He was also helpful for some info before and after I get there. * İts a calm and local area. there are some salt lakes behind. * what you see on photos is what you get, no bad surprise! Yet all nice in this place Grazie Maury

GermanyMaury is truly the best host on the island, always friendly and helpful, keeping his B&B extremely clean and safe. He will always help you with anything you may be looking for - like taxi service or tours (both for a reasonable price), money exchange, information about the island, including daily live music tipps, restaurant reservations or tipps for visiting other islands. The rooms are very spacious, daily cleaning service and alltogether very friendly staff. Thank you Maury and I definitely will visit you again!

United KingdomWe on 3 occasions during our stay had 3 to 4 very good fruit as we think sometimes the fruit is prepared overnight maybe? The reason we sat that is the juice in breakfast bowl & some of the fruit looked a bit offish but was nice to be fair.
B&B Salinas is about a 5 minute walk to the beach 1 way & 2 minutes the other way. Well let's start with the breakfast of fruit salad, bread and jam & yogurt with cake. not our usual breakfast to be fair it was very nice. Our host & the girls serving breakfast we're very nice & polite & our room wS cleaned very often. It's basic the rooms but great for what we wanted. Good food around the area

FranceI stayed four nights but towels were only changed after three nights - this is really no big deal though! When I asked for a second cup of coffee at breakfast I was refused, which was a slight shame!
This is a great option for the price in the town. Maury is a really friendly host who provides good recommendations for restaurants and live music venues. Room was spacious with a big balcony.
