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 StatesThe only thing I would change is adding a dryer to go with the washing machine- with a family of five, hanging laundry every day was a bit tough to keep up with. But that was a small thing compared to how amazing everything else was. Highly recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We loved the location — close to everything we wanted to do, like the Benagil Caves, the Seven Hanging Valleys hike, and just a short drive to Albufeira. The apartment itself was spotless, comfortable, and in a quiet village setting. The pool had a nice mix of families, which made it feel welcoming without being crowded. After long days of sightseeing or relaxing at the beach, it was the perfect place to come “home” to. Highly recommend!

United KingdomFor the paddle tennis there were gaps in the wall where the ball could go through. Location was beautiful however it was about 20minute walk to town it was a nice walk some steep roads, however was difficult when it was very hot. It is very easy to get Ubers.
The swimming pool was very clean and not busy even during August we were able to get sun loungers. The depth in the shallow end is 1.1m and in the deeper end is 2m it gets deep quite quickly so we stayed in the shallow bit. There was also a children's pool. The paddle tennis was very good too free hire. There was a table where we could sit down and have a break and a drink. The small restaurant near reception had drinks and crisps available, we didnt try the breakfast as we cooked in our kitchen. There were three bedrooms two single beds in two bedrooms and one double in the third. One large bathroom and a wc with a washing machine. Very spacious apartment with plenty of storage. Lovely kitchen fully equipped and easy to use and cook. The balcony had a lovely view with tables and chairs overlooking greenery and the sunset. The sofa had a pull out bed for an extra guest we used this in addition to the sofa as we didnt all fit on the sofa. Large dining table enough for all of us. Very big fridge freezer. Cleaning staff and reception staff were very friendly we had fresh towels daily and apartment was cleaned well. The grounds were very clean and well maintained. We were able to get groceries on uber eats easily as we didnt have a car. A car would be more ideal if you're looking to travel to different places.

United StatesThere was nothing we didn't like about Placid Village. Even though it was a bit of a walk to town we didn't mind it at all.
Very spacious apartment that had everything we needed. The place was clean and comfortable. Staff was helpful especially when we needed a taxi at 5am to get to Lagoa bus station.

SlovakiaIt's a bit farther from downtown, but the walk there is really pleasant and mostly downhill. On the way back, we usually took a taxi.
The place was very well equipped—even a washing machine, which was a great help during a longer trip. The beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was rich with a wide variety of options. The staff was always available and incredibly helpful. There’s also a swimming pool and a tennis court on site.

United KingdomAbsolutely outstanding service from all of the staff at placid village. We only needed to stay on night but due to a last minute change of plans we arrived much before our check in time but were looked after right from the moment we arrived. We were able to have breakfast which you normally have to book in advance, make use of all the facilities and have our luggage stored securely. Then they had the room ready for us by 11am (normal check in 4pm). When we arrived in the apartment we could not be happier. It had absolutely everything we needed and was already cool (thank you A/C and much needed in 40° weather). We would happily return to Placid Village and are already considering it for a visit later in the year.

United KingdomCan’t say!
Absolutely beautiful interior and exterior, incredibly spacious and comfortable too. The parking space was a lifesaver, too. So many amenities- a pool, field, tennis court and breakfast area. The host didn’t speak English but was incredibly patient and kind. Loved the attention to detail: They offered ground coffee rather than instant coffee or pods, which was a rare plus! Nowhere else on our vacation did we have access to fresh coffee. They gave separate pool towels, which made our stay so much more comfortable. It seems simple, but not every place we stayed at that had pools offered pool towels, and we had to keep reusing our shower towel soaked with chlorine. Loved the extra consideration.

United KingdomThis is a lovely place to stay for families or friends. The apartments are spacious and clean. The staff is wonderful and the pool is a great place to relax and cool down. Placid village is about 20min from the town and beach, so it is slightly out of town and the walk back is up a hill. But this is great for getting some exercise in. It is totally worth staying here and we will definitely choose to go back again.

Located in a nice quiet neighbourhood. The walk to the town and back was nice and very doable. Nice sunset from deck. Enjoyed the big woodwind overlooking the deck. Also liked the wide array of options for groceries nearby.
