Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomI can not recommend this beautiful hotel enough, a warm friendly welcome, gorgeous location looking across the Douro and a short walk straight into the main centre. Fab roof terrace, delicious food and drinks, the breakfast which is included is exceptional The spa is heaven and the treatments so good. We hired bikes for the day and they even provided beach towels Our room was just stunning a mini apartment so we had space to relax and decompress after a busy day I would go back in a heartbeat I just loved everything about it!

United States of AmericaThere was nothing we didn't like!
The location right on the Douro River was exceptional. We had a wonderful view of the river and of Porto from our room and balcony. Our studio had a lovely bathroom, kitchen and sitting area as well. The breakfast buffet was the best we encountered in our one month stay in Portugal. What a great variety of food, and you could order other items to be cooked for you, too. We also ate dinner at the rooftop bar and in the restaurant and had excellent food both places. Every person we encountered on the staff was so friendly and helpful.

BelgiumWe had dinner at the restaurant, but there was no music or no candles, so it didn't feel cosy at all. Food was also not the best.
The rooftop has an amazing view of Porto - probably the best view in town! The room we got was very spacious, breakfast was excellent and the staff was very friendly.

NetherlandsThe long walk from the lobby to the apartment and the lack of bell service at arrival.
The view from the apartment was in one word, exceptional, with the two bedrooms and the living room area having the luxury of a lounging area to enjoy the view of the bridge and the city skyline. Breakfast setting and options were outstanding, as were the crew. The rooftop restaurant is likely one of the best in many respects.
