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 reviewThe person in contact is always helping you whatever you need. The apartment has good size for a couple.
The apartment is getting quite old, and not cleaned deeply. It is a pitty because the apartment is not bad at all, but not taken care properly. Also the balcony is in front of the road. Maybe it was our expectations from the pictures and the other comments.
Dear Fernando, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the assistance provided during your stay and the apartment size. We're sorry to learn that it didn’t fully meet your expectations. We’re honestly a bit surprised by your comments, as the apartment was completely renovated less than 2 years ago — including a new mattress, some new forniture, new TV, new A/C, mosquito screens, fresh paint, and a brand-new sofa last year. We’ve made many improvements to ensure comfort and quality. As for cleanliness, it's one of the aspects most appreciated by our guests, including the review just before yours. The apartment is always cleaned thoroughly before every check-in. We also did our best to accommodate your needs by exceptionally extending the check-in time for your late-night arrival at no extra costs, well beyond the standard check-in hours, which normally end at 8 PM. We appreciate your feedback and are always committed to improving where needed. Thank you again for staying with us

Verified reviewZuela is a great host and was waiting to meet us at the apartment when we arrived. She also organised transport to and from the airport, which was super helpful. The apartment is in a great location, 10 minutes' walk from the lively pedestrian street of Santa Maria and across the road from the beach. The pool and gardens are lovely and very well maintained. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay and Zuela is on hand for anything you need.

Verified reviewThe apartment is perfectly located for the beach which is only a 5 minute walk, and the town at around 10 minutes to the pedestrian street and its restaurants. It was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for our stay. Although we didn’t use it, the pool is clean and well maintained as is the apartment complex. There are a couple of mini-markets on the doorstep for essentials. Ponta Preta beach is close enough to walk with a couple of beach bars. Zuela is the perfect host, on hand when needed but not intrusive, she couldn’t have been better.

Verified reviewNicely decorated, lots of day to day things you need, well thought about. Good communication and available if needed
Could have a mirror in the bedroom. Although there was a washer we cleaned the apartment and changed the beds. Not a big issue but not something I’ve had to do before.
Dear Rebecca, we are happy that your overall experience was great and that you enjoyed your stay. Regarding cleaning, we would like to highlight that this is a short-term rental which does not provide any "personal service", such as cleaning during the stay, that usually an hotel provides. Cleaning is included and, at no additional cost, before arrival and after departure and you were provided additional fresh towels and bed linen. We would like to thank you for being our Guests and hope to welcome you again in the future.
