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.).

United StatesCan’t think of anything we didn’t like.
We loved the modernness of the space with the charm of the older furnishings. The apartment was spacious and well furnished with basic supplies. We were delighted to find a bag of chips and a bottle of wine that was included with the apartment. The clothes washer worked well and the water pressure in the showers was outstanding. Beds were comfortable as well.

United StatesNoise level was a little high as it was the end of the semester. It was tolerable, just not ideal. No way this can be controlled by the property so would stay again.

United StatesIt was somewhat difficult to get to with luggage. If you have a car, drop off your luggage near the Santa Cruz church before parking. Be sure to tell them if you need the sleeper sofa set-up.
The studio was just as pictured. Has everything you need. The hosts left a snack and wine. The location is in the midst of major attractions, restaurants, and shops.

United StatesWhile the facilities were excellent, and it was flat (a major plus in Coimbra), there was one major problem. Live music is played directly outside 6 nights a week. If you are only staying a week, that isn't so bad. But there were three musicians with play lists on repeat. I stayed three weeks and heard the same play lists six times each.
The location was excellent, in that it was easy to walk to shopping and to the elevator to the university. The facilities were also great.

CanadaThe apartment is right above a bar which generated quite a bit of noise in the evening. The noise couldn’t be heard from the back bedroom but could be from the bedroom closer to the street - ear plugs recommended. The building roof also leaks in heavy rain and water comes into the hall way, which was a bit of a surprise!
Great location - right in old part of Coimbra, close to shops, restaurants and other amenities. Having two bathrooms was great and the place was spacious, clean, beautiful and well equipped.

United KingdomIt was a little noisy at night, particularly on the Saturday night that we stayed. It was difficult to get the temperature right on the shower and the shower head would not stay in position. The floor tiles were loose in places.
The location was excellent, there was a good welcome pack on arrival, the apartment was very homely and spacious and there were plenty of places to sit comfortably. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need for a short stay.

United StatesNothing - this was a fabulous stay.
This apartment was fantastic - very large and well-equipped. We especially appreciated the washer with drying rack and detergent pods. The location was perfect - just off the main pedestrian street with balconies overlooking the plaza and ancient city arch. The restaurant below was lively and had a musician performing until about 11pm which we liked although this might be a drawback for some. The hosts recommended convenient free parking across the bridge at the convent which worked well for us. Communication was all done via Booking.com and whatsapp and it was seamless. They provided an extra door key upon our request.

FranceBecause of the perfect location for sightseeing, the car access was impossible to the property. We had to park 5 minutes away and roll out suitcases up the hills.
It was great to be right in the center of the historic town close to everything we wanted to see. We even had our own entertainment on the square in front of our windows. Every night there was a musician playing popular music!
