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.).

Czech RepublicRoom cleaning could do better. Swimming pools outdated.
Loved the food! Absolutely delicious. Room was spacious and suitable for a family stay. Beach shuttle is really amazing service, takes you to 2 nearby beaches. Falésia is the nicer one, but be aware there’s no facilities available. Only 1000 steps up:)

United KingdomIt seems that most rooms, including ours, overlooked a car park. We were told that that the larger pool was not heated but the smaller one was heated. We did not think either pool was heated.
We had a very spacious apartment which had everything we needed. There were two pools. It is only a 15 minute walk to a very pleasant beach (Falesia). Loads of restaurants within 7 or 8 minutes walk. All in all excellent value for money.

United KingdomWe had booked all inclusive, but personally we didn't feel like there wasn't much variety. They always have fresh pizzas, but the toppings were the same each day, and the breakfast definitely caters to British guests. One member of our group was vegetarian and there wasn't a great selection of veggie options. Another thing to point out is that the food was not labelled if it was vegetarian/ vegan or even what the dish was. For example the 'meat pie' didn't have a label to explain what was in it or what meat it was. Nor did I see any labels for intolerances such as nut/ lactose allergies. If I were to book again, I would not go for all inclusive. I also did not find the beds that comfortable, but I was the only one to think so out of our group of 3 so that's just a personal preference. The sofa in our apartment doubled up as a sofa bed, we didn't need the sofa bed but the sofa itself was not very comfortable to sit so imagine that you would not get a good nights sleep on it either.
We booked the deluxe two bedroom apartment and it was very spacious, all the rooms were very large, we had two balconies and two very spacious bathrooms. We were a group of 3, which included my elderly mum who does sometimes struggle with hills/ long walks but it was very easy for her to get around the hotel, and the lifts were always so quick to call. The kitchens were well equipped with different size pots and pans and great selection of crockery/ cutlery. We didn't use them but were surprised to find the pots and pans so clean with 0 scratches on them! The staff were always really friendly and really helpful. They offer a shuttle to two beaches nearby, we went to the beach that offered the free loungers and shade, both times, the beach was very quiet. It is a bit of a walk to the beach once you get dropped off, but there was a member of staff who guides you along to the area for the hotel guests. (If you want to go to the beach at your own time, an uber is around ~€5 one way) There are a couple of restaurants walking distance from the hotel, a supermarket and a little gift shop (all within a 5-10min walk). Ubers are really cheap, on the way there we had asked the hotel to arrange a taxi for us, but on the way back to the airport we arranged an uber and it was ~€15 cheaper. The hotel is a great base, we went to Albufeira old town and Faro old. Faro old town was gorgeous and very picturesque.

IrelandWe had a fantastic stay at this all-inclusive hotel in Albufeira with a half-board option. The food selection for breakfast and dinner was impressive, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. The hotel’s facilities were top-notch – our room was comfortable and well-equipped for cooking, and the pools were a hit, with separate areas for kids and adults. The kids’ play area added a wholesome touch, keeping our little ones entertained. In the evenings, the lively atmosphere created such a great vibe. We loved every moment and would definitely return for a longer stay!
