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 reviewGreat location, 2 separate bedrooms (although one is without windows) with kitchen and living room. Got some useful information before arrival to my email.
I missed that information when was making a booking, so it was an unpleasant "surprise": - Had to pay 30 EUR extra for a late chekin (after 10 PM, even if it's 10 min. late); - Had to leave 300 EUR deposit in cash (I've stayed in much better appartments than these many times, but never was asked for a deposit). For us it wasn't a problem, but keep in mind that if you have a big heavy baggage it can be an issue to bring it upstairs :)

Verified reviewThe location is amazing. Your are close to the Electrico 28 and to the Metro. There are restaurants and grocery stores all within a few minutes walk. The apartment has been recently refurbished and is very clean.
Climbing three flights of stairs and no air conditioning was expected but it isn't for everyone. Other than that, no complaints. If you do leave the windows open at night, make sure to bring earplugs if noise bothers you. It's not as loud as other streets in other districts - par for the course in an older European city - so it's better to deal with it effectively than complain!

Verified reviewGood location. Walkable distance to lots of restaurants. Quite at night. Maragarida was a great host and very helpful and responsive to all my questions. The owner also is good at communicating.
1. Two guys offering and selling drugs right below the arch (where you have to pass to get to the apartment) They offer it even if they see you with kids. This is not the owners fault at all but didn’t feel safe passing by everyday with my girls. 2. Uber or taxis are going to leave you far from the apartment since there is restricted access to the apartment. 3. No elevator. Narrow stairs not suitable for young kids or older people. Can be very tiring after a long day walking around. 4. There is no AC on the apartment, just floor fans. I have to mention that we were ok with just fans but it was also beginning of June, not sure during July or August when it gets hotter. 5. There are not enough bed sheets or pillows if you are a group of more than 4. 6. The washing machine was very dirty.

Be prepared for a 3 storey flight of stairs especially if you have loads of luggage to carry.

Verified reviewLovely clean bright appartment conveniently close to the centre and the Cathedral. Situated in in an older terraced house but decor was fresh and modern. Loved the sound of the cathedral bells to wake us in the morning! (Don't worry, they don't ring before 8am!)
Beds were very firm and only one pillow each. Comfy if you sleep on your back or front, but not if you are a side sleeper!
Thanks you.

Verified review1. The host, Margarida, was helpful. Her friend, Maria, who came to receive us was extremely pleasant and welcoming. She also guided us with regard to good touristic spots as well as restaurants. 2. The location was great, with proximity to restaurants, train station, metro, churches, supermarkets and touristic sites. There's also a lift right next door that conveniently transports you straight to the Largo da Sé! 3. The apartment was well furnished, clean and comfortable. In particular, the kitchen had all the essentials (pots and pans, as well as basic ingredients) required for a convenient stay. 4. We were pleasantly surprised to find a lovely bottle of Portuguese wine awaiting us when we arrived! 5. The pictures provided give an accurate description of the property.
The apartment is located on the third floor and has a rather steep staircase, making it rather difficult for older people as well as those carrying heavy suitcases.
Thank you!
