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 reviewBeing elderly the shower area felt safe. Low bath and safety handle on the wall. The barman was particularly good.
Shouldn't have to pay a daily charge for a kettle. Can understand paying a deposit. Didn't like the breakfast that was offered. Self service like Premier inn would have been better. Not worth 15e
We would like to thank you for your preference of Hotel do Cerro and for your comments. Kind regards, SN

Verified reviewThe size of the two bedroom apartment was good for our family of four. Very good quality of food at the pool.
The apartment is very outdated and needs to be updated. Beds are extremely hard and very uncomfortable.
Hello, thank you very much for your review and so glad you enjoyed the pool service, Shame you did not report to reception about the beds, we would have put toppers to make them softer and more comfortable to your liking. Best regards, SN.

Verified reviewReception and bar area were relatively nice. Staff friendly and helpful.
The hotel has seen better days and is very tired in many areas. Pool area loungers were old and the outside dining tables were rusty and grubby. A non-existent courtesy room which consisted of a toilet and a tiny shower cubical by the pool you couldn’t even get a case or yourself in to even attempt to get ready. We had two rooms; On either side of the hotel and on one side of the hotel they were old and in need of an upgrade. The hotel is a good 15 minute walk downhill to the beach which is nice. The uphill walk back you’ll need to be Prepared for a workout.

Verified reviewMost of the hotel people were very helpful
The wifi was very bad. Not the signalstrength but the internet connection. We got a password wich was per user for 3Mb download. I asked if we did not need 2 passwords, but that should not be the problem the lady from the reception said. I contacted the reception 3 times. The router was rebooted and than the internet was ok for a while. The last time the man at the reception said that I should have read the reviews and see, that the wifi is bad. There was no solutioin for this.
