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.).

South KoreaBringing my luggage to the room was very difficult since there was no elevator. But it’s an old and beautiful property so I could understand.
In one of the most beautiful spots in the Douro, with a great view of the river. The terrace at the hotel was awesome, and the view was amazing. Perfect place to enjoy few glasses of wine. Super relaxing and just what we needed after the craziness of Porto.

United StatesAmazing little hidden oasis tucked into the Hills of the Douro Valley. The property is well laid out with lots of little nooks and crannies for people to enjoy privately. The views up, down and across the Douro Valley were spectacular. The pool was a welcome relief at the end of a day of exploring nearby vineyards. We were super appreciative and relied on the information we were provided with upon arrival. From the meals cooked and served to the check in and housekeeping teams we were humbled by the hospitality and caring bestowed upon us so that we could enjoy a top quality experience.

United KingdomEverything was stunning- couldn’t fault a thing!
Stunning location and an amazing place to relax. Nothing was too much trouble for Angela and the staff. All the facilities were very high spec and it felt like being home from home. It was much more than a hotel - we felt part of a big family. The food was exceptional and we ate in a light and airy dining area overlooking the river. Wow - like paradise from the moment we arrived ( by train to Ferrão-a station on the Douro line) Angela picked us up and whisked us 5 minutes up the hill. Welcome drinks by the pool and views to dream about!! We’ll be back- shame we only booked one night!

She invited us to stay and enjoy the pool till late afternoon on our checkout morning, she served us a try of cheeses and snacks with 2 glasses of wine to the pool area, and she gave my husband as a gift a book he started reading from the house library. The dinner Foni clocked us was amazing.

One of our group was gluten intolerant and staff went out of their way to ensure that gluten free options were available. Gardens and views are spectacular. Relaxing area by the pool after a busy day. We would highly recommend and will return.

Everything 😀 Stunning property, overlooking the Duoro River. The manager Angela is extremely efficient and welcoming. Beds were so comfortable, beautiful linen and beautifully styled. Quinta da Marka is also handy for visiting Pinhao on the train, take a 1 hour boat ride on the river visiting wineries nearby. The pool is divine after a hot day visiting wineries and Pinhao. Welcome drink on arrival too much appreciated.

BelgiumWe didn't love the evening meal. It was good value for money and maybe we are spoilt, we didn't think think it was nearly as good as anything else we have eaten on our trip to the Douro and Porto.
We had such a friendly, helpful welcome by Angela. She helped us carry our cases to our room, she explained everything and was generally an absolute gem! We hope to see her again next year!! The room was comfortable, the Quinta itself and the grounds were beautiful. What a dream!
