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 reviewIt well located, nice and clean. The host was great and very helpful, at check in we got a full guide on what to see in the city (followed it and were happy).
Nothing. I will only admit the noise from the street (tram and cars). But it has nothing to do with apartment. It is pretty obvious on the map that the road is nearby.

Verified reviewThe location is great, you can walk to the center no problem and you are very close to the river. The balcony was nice
The place was broken.. there was mold in the bathroom and the vent didn’t work, the bed was no double bed but two twin beds connected together and the mattress was uncomfortable and squeeze. The kitchen cabinets were broken. In night there was a lot of noises and we wake up couple of times. The owner said there is plenty of parking but we didn’t found any when we arrived. Only after waiting some time by luck someone moved his car..

Only one key which was needed in order to enter and exit the building, making it difficult for one person to stay behind and leave later than the other. There was no way out without the key …

The main issue was climbing 4 flights of stairs . We should have been advised when booking confirmed. We may have cancelled.

Verified reviewThe apartment was clean and as described, the kitchen was reasonably equipped and had a few essential ingredients already which was nice. It was reasonably easy to get to ribeira along the waterfront, and there were stairs to ascend the hill nearby. There were plenty of bars/cafes nearby and a supermarket about a 15 minute walk away.
While the location was reasonably central, being directly next to the river meant being next to a busy road and tram tracks and the noise from these was quite loud. The trams were the loudest but only ran during the days, however there were quite often very loud motor bikes going past late into the night. This is obviously not the host's fault and unavoidable if you want to be located right next to the river, but it did bother us a bit.
