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 reviewI had a short stay here, only 3 nights. Nice hotel, clean room, very good shower, strong wifi signal, beautiful music by a singer every night in the piano bar. Breakfast ok but average, I mean nothing exxagerated or useless things, though you have all you need to start the day well refuelled. Not too much daily changes in the selection of food. Dinner buffet I tried just once (because the other days I wanted to try two other restaurants outside the hotel): it was ok, nothing exceptional though. Some of the food that needed to be hot was instead less than warm. Swimming pool good, with many lounge chairs available: also the menu at the pool bar was ok, quite wide choices of different food, with some generous portions. I want to highlight the job of an employee of the hotel: Maria: she is really a top star, hard working woman, all day long, present at breakfast, afternoon and dinner, and always ready to help, serve customers, and also to clean promptly the tables once they had been vacated (a key thing when you have many customers, maybe some waiting to sit, because hotel was very crowded, if not sold out, in those days). She speaks also well Italian, and she did it with me 👍🏼👏🏻
All was pretty much good during my stay, no real negative points. Hotel is not too far from the beautiful Praia da Coelha, it can be reached with a good 15 mins walking. For other beaches you need to have a car. Hotel has a free shuttle twice a day (or more, I don't remember well) to the very nice (especially the city center) town of Albufeira. And also has a free shuttle once or twice (except on weekends) to Praia Gale. I used It only once for Albufeira and was good, well organized and on time

Pool and poolside bar shut to early so you have to get cabs for evening entertainment evening entertainment in hotel was a bit boring
Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words about our rooms, bathrooms, friendly team, and clean pool. We are pleased to know you enjoyed these aspects of your stay. Our hotel is well known as a place for rest and relaxation, which is why our pool and poolside bar close earlier in the evening. However, we do offer live entertainment from Monday to Saturday until 11:00 pm, providing our guests with music and activities without disturbing the peaceful atmosphere that many value. We appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind as we continue to enhance our guest experience. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay in the future. Kind regards, Suzette Vasconcelos General Manager

Verified reviewGood service, friendly staff. Good breakfasts and live music every evening. We also booked dinner once, and the food was great - it was a Portuguese-style barbecue evening. Great location in a quiet suburban area with plenty of restaurants nearby. The nearest beach is a 10-minute walk away. Clean room, cleaned every day. Two swimming pools - indoor and outdoor - plus a sauna and hammam. Plenty of space to relax. Quiet atmosphere, it's a family hotel.
The hotel is a bit old, and the furniture is somewhat dated, but everything is clean and tidy. In our room, the wallpaper was mismatched - one part was yellow, the other white. It looked strange but didn’t bother me. The beds in our room were separated, it felt a bit unusual for us, but we knew about it when booking, so no complaints. Wearing a swimming cap is mandatory in the indoor pool. I wish I had known this in advance - I would’ve brought my own. You can buy one at the reception for €5. The elevators are extremely slow.

Verified reviewI like how all the staff were so nice and accommodating to our requests. The breakfast was lovely and the hotel didn’t feel too crowded. It was a peaceful and relaxing.
It would have been nice if there is atleast a kettle in the room as we usually want to have a cup of tea at bedtime. Also, there should be more options and varieties for breakfast.
Dear Guest, Mrs. Claudine, Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re truly pleased to know that you found our team friendly and accommodating, and that you enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing stay with us. Creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere is one of our top priorities. We also appreciate your suggestions. Regarding the kettle — we completely understand how nice it is to enjoy a warm cup of tea in the comfort of your room. We're happy to share that we have already started equipping our rooms with kettles, and this process will soon be completed across all units. We hope this will enhance the comfort of future stays. As for the breakfast variety, your feedback is valuable and has been shared with our kitchen team. We're always looking for ways to improve and provide a more diverse and satisfying experience for our guests. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back again soon! Warm regards, Suzette Vasconcelos Hotel Baía Grande Management

Should have water drinking facilities in the gym and indoor pool. Could ideally run more complimentary shuttle services to the beach and town.
Dear Guest "Sukhvinder", Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed our breakfast and appreciated our location — both are indeed highlights for many of our guests. We also truly value your suggestions. Providing drinking water in the gym and indoor pool area is a great point, and we are already looking into how we can implement this in a practical and sustainable way. Regarding the transportation service, your input is very timely — we are currently reviewing the schedule and have already added an additional complimentary time slot for our guests during peak periods.

Verified reviewWe were very surprised that a 4-star hotel did not provide bathrobes in the rooms and had no tissues available. The spa is in very poor condition. The hot sauna works intermittently, not all equipment in the pool is functional, and the benches are broken. When we brought this to the attention of the person responsible for the spa, she started coming up with various excuses and seemed very displeased with our complaints. However, she did point out that we were not wearing the “correct” swimming caps in the pool. It turns out that the proper caps must be purchased from her for 5 euros, even though their actual value is no more than 50 cents.
