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 KingdomNothing, there was nothing to complain about. Maybe a couple more towels in the bathroom and some flannels would have been useful.
We thought the staff were very friendly and liked the location of this fun and quirky hotel. The breakfast was very good with a great selection of hot and cold foods and all the staff were helpful and friendly. This hotel has a great vibe and is in a good location for exploring Porto.

UkraineOh, well, the wallpaper in the elevator is slightly peeling off, the grass could be real in the garden and the people outside could just stay at home and not shout all night (closed windows provide excellent soundproofing by the way), but this is me counting the three things I did not “like”. Honestly, this is a great hotel and I will stay again!
I loved this hotel. It’s fun, it’s funky, it’s friendly, it’s comfortable. Loved it! The staff is great, the breakfast is lovely and they offer free 4 o’clock tea, as well as a glass of porto and 10% off food. Clean modern rooms, plenty of space, lovely communal areas. The location is also excellent.

The staff was attentive. I like the proximity of the hotel to things to do. I also like that they are conscious about not wasting products but offering them upon request. The breakfast buffet had plenty of options and was delicious.

PortugalIt's the second time I stayed at Chic&Basic and it's seriously my go to place whenever I am in Porto. The staff is the NICEST, everyone is happily serving you and making sure you are having the best experience. The rooms are spacious enough, the balconies amazing to chill at after a whole day of sightseeing and the beds and bedsheets suuuper comfy. The variety at the breakfast (with vegan options available) is amazing and very tasty. The decoration of the hotel itself is amusing. The location is top-notch to walk around the main areas of Porto. I can't recommend this hotel enough!!

HungarySeagulls… they are sooo loud at night, if your room is on the top floor, you need airplugs! but of course it’s not the hotel’s fault! :)
Everything was just perfect, really, this hotel, this team knows how to do this! We booked the top floor terrace room, outside noise was okay there! Extra sweet from the staff that we got presents (wine, cake) during our stay! Breakfast is absolutely perfect, lots of choices. The hotel location is great, the area is packed with nice local restaurants, bars, a bit less tourist-filled!

GreeceFirst of all we loved the people working in the hotel. They were very kind. Rooms are beautifully renovated and spacious. Also the food is perfect! Great breakfast (one of the best i have ever tasted) and dinner was also very good. I say it's a very nice choice for the price tag. 👍

United KingdomI think the breakfast station could be kept more warm especially the eggs, beans and other warm bits. Otherwise, breakfast was nice and had a decent variety.
The staff were very kind and friendly especially on our arrival. I liked my room and the balcony i had. The garden area was lovely. The receptionist on arrival was very sweet and gave us port and nibbles and gave us some recommendations on a map of places to visit during our stay in Porto. She was very kind and accommodating as were all the staff.

GuernseyThere were a number of things that were disappointing such as the advertised garden view was not a garden view but more of a building site and roof. We could not use our balcony because of the constant kitchen smells released directly near our room. There was little hanging and storage space for a couple staying for a week. I did report this and the hotel were quick to respond and validated our comments and promised to advertise the room more accurately in the future. Would we stay here again, almost certainly, especially if the balcony wasn't that important and it was a short stay.
Staff were excellent, very helpful and always cheerful. the location is excellent but can get a little busy outside the front door Breakfast was good and constantly topped up. The little treats in the bedroom were a lovely surprise.

Everything! Breakfast was fabulous. Afternoon snacks provided free of charge as was bottled water. The staff kindly changed our room to a Garden Room as it was quieter. Dinner was good and reasonably priced. We are in our 70's but we loved the concept and overall atmosphere in the hotel. Almost forgot outside space amazing as were all the staff.
