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 reviewThe location is really prime to explore Porto. The room was big, clean and comfortable. The staff was really kind and friendly. This hotel is perfect for families, also with toddlers.
The only negative aspect is that it is not wheelchair accessible (there at at least 30/40 steps)
Dear Marta, Thank you for a positive review! We are really happy that everything was great for you during your stay! We would like to point out that this is not a negative point but rather one of the features of our hotel that is mentioned on our booking page. Furthermore, after making the reservation, an email is always sent to reinforce the fact that we do not have an elevator, only a luggage lift. We would love to welcome you again in the future! Kind regards, B The Guest

Verified reviewRoom was spacious, clean and quite large. The hotel is in a great location with easy access to most Porto sites, transportation, etc. The staff was friendly and helpful (hats off to Artur at the front desk who went above-and-beyond). Restaurant recommendations were spot on. Thanks.
I liked pretty much everything.

Verified reviewReally lovely staff who couldn't do enough for you. Excellent location and a very nice breakfast. Stylish, spacious and airy room with a super comfortable bed.
Quite steep stairs to climb up and down for gaining access to reception and the floors above, although there is a dumb waiter for standard size luggage and the staff were very eager to help.

Verified reviewWe had a lovely big bedroom and bathroom. The breakfast was plentiful with mainly Portuguese choices. The check-in staff spoke very good English and were very helpful. Generally all the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Beware that parking is difficult. We would suggest taking one’s car straight to the multi-storey car park a bit further up the road, as the spaces immediately outside the hotel are rarely available, even for unloading and loading.

Verified reviewB The Guest Downtown is a stylish, artsy boutique hotel in an absolutely perfect location for exploring Porto – right across from a vibrant, modern market. The room was beautiful and spacious, and the hotel has a lovely dining area where breakfast was also good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Note: there’s a lift, but it’s only for suitcases. Overall, it’s very good value for money – we really enjoyed our stay!
