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 review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
The 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!

Verified reviewThe 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.
For 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.
Dear Kamini, Thank you for your preference at Placid Village. Thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful feedback.

It is great to know that you found the kitchen well equipped and the facilities comfortable for your stay.

We are glad that overall you had a pleasant experience with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Thank you. Kind Regards, Placid Village.

Verified reviewVery 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.
There 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.

Alarm woke everyone up at 530am one morning. Keepers needed to be let in by hotel guests to turn off 30 minutes later

Verified reviewAbsolutely 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.
Dear Joseph, Thank you for your preference. Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are truly delighted to know that your stay at Placid Village was perfect and that our team made you feel welcome from the very first moment. We do everything to make our guests feel at home.

We are especially happy to hear that you appreciated the breakfast, the early check-in, and all the amenities including the much needed air conditioning in this summer heat. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we are thrilled that you are already thinking about returning later this year. We will be here with open arms to welcome you back anytime. Thank you.

Verified reviewAbsolutely 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.
Can’t say!
Dear Noore, Thank you for your preference at Placid Village. Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. We are truly happy to hear that you enjoyed both the interior and exterior of the property, as well as the spaciousness and comfort. We are also glad the parking spot was helpful and that you made good use of the amenities, like the pool area, paddle tennis, and breakfast space. Your kind words about our host’s patience and kindness mean a lot, especially considering the language barrier. We are also especially pleased that you appreciated the small touches, like the freshly ground coffee and the separate pool towels. We believe these little details can make a big difference, and it is very rewarding to know they added to your comfort. We do love to welcome you again in the future. Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us. Kind Regards, Placid Village.
