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 KingdomOnly complaint is that the curtains let through a lot of light so i’d bring an eye mask next time
Great location right on the new town strip but somehow not noisy and felt safe and gated off. Clean rooms, very nice bathroom, cooking equipment and friendly staff :) (pool also wasn’t anywhere near as bad as other reviews suggest)

Friendly staff, nice clean room with good amenities, and close to the Strip but far away enough to be quiet when sleeping.

IrelandThe entry to the complex is complicated,, especially when driving but secure parking when inside albeit access is locked after 7:30 pm due to pedestrianisation of the strip (no in or out). The complex is a mix of tourist accommodation and private housing which might not be to everyone's liking but suited us perfectly. It is not a VIP complex but more than perfectly adequate as a base in Albufeira,
The property is close to a bustling strip in Albufeira but once inside, the complex is relatively quiet. On the strip there are a multitude of bars and restaurants and its all within striking distance from the sea with a taxi rank just steps away. The outdoor residents pool in the complex is huge with grassy areas to sunbathe on. The room is extremely well equipped with air con and many mod cons (fridge freezer full size for example) and staff could not have been more friendly and helpful.

Luxembourgit is not the hotels' fault - there is a lack of respect from other people using the pool (glass bottles), not sure it is really private as I saw people jump over the wall and any one around use the pool
Staff extremely helpful and accomodating, location is new and very clean. Best for party people - beginning of June might still be ok, later too much disco feeling - a lovely pool available

HungaryThe location is terrible. It is in the middle of the party street which is closed between a period of time, so we had to calculate the daily trips according to the regulation in order to be able to park our car inside the area. Unfortunately, the noise from the parties could be heard from outside.
It was quite a new accomodation when we stayed here even the tables were freshly painted. Our hosts were lovely, kind, helpful, I could mention all the good qualities here. The room was huge, the bathroom was modern which I really liked. We had all the amenities and appliances we needed for a good stay. We even received a bottle of wine upon arrival. Thank you for that:) Plenty of restaurants, bars nearby, the beach is a 10 minute walk.

FranceThe apartment's sound insulation was really poor when I came in, which was an issue as the strip (street full of bars) was just behind the compound. This could be mostly fixed: the window frame that gives access to the balcony is not properly installed as it can be moved (not only the window but the surrounding frame too!). Moreover, the door is light and lets the sound enter through the sides (this could be improved too). The insulation between the apartments was also basic as I could hear the neighbour watching TV quite well. The apartment was missing shelves and cupboards to store clothes and food, and the terrace was missing chairs and a table to be truly enjoyed. The apartment description was erroneous (the studio apartment description included features of the 1-bedroom apartment), so pay attention to that.
Nice garden view, large balcony, big swimming pool, great location close to the beach. Staff was helpful and demonstrated goodwill. Building is new and modern.

United KingdomI was happy all round to be honest. I've been to Albufeira around 12 times but never stayed here before. Would I stay here again? Yes, no.problem. 55 years old n still a party animal😎
Hotel receptionist very nice and helpful.. my flight was delayed and she kept me updated with my taxi, room and everything. I couldn't fathom the room door handle out and she gave me prompt attention to help me. Booked my return taxi out and got me a great price. Taxi went to rest of premises and she phoned them up to solve the small problem and things were soon resolved.my room was very decent too. I can imagine it's a very busy hotel at peak time too with it being at the top of the strip, great location and tbh I never heard any loud music from the strip but I was cabbages one evening as the next morning I found my shorts, pants n socks in the dishwasher 👌😊💯😎Signs of a good night.
