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 are 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 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.).

United KingdomCleanliness could be better there were stains on the floor under the table, the breakfast was quite basic and more of selection would be great. The car park was very busy due to surfers and beach goers parking in the car park. We were never without a spot, but we may have just been lucky.
I booked a room with a sea view, It was outstanding. The staff were extremely helpful and polite and the owner was very much present and hands on. The hotel felt like a home away from home. The rooms are modern and the hotel communal spaces full of character. The contrast is quite pleasing I appreciated the simple as of the room vs busy communal spaces

United KingdomThe 4 star rating of this hotel is simply inaccurate. Maybe it was in a bygone era, but certainly not in its current state. However, this was obvious to me before I made the booking given the pictures and previous reviews. The swimming pool was out of action, and the central courtyard was undergoing refurbishment, with no notice as to how long for. Please don't let this put you off. It's charm and location by far exceed these minor criticisms. You would pay a hell of a lot more to be in a proper 4 star Hotel in Cascais, with limited views and charm. With a world-class beach on the doorstep, who needs a pool anyway?
I thought the hotel itself on balance was really cool and great value. Quirky and old fashioned. The staff were all friendly and helpful, especially in the restaurant and bar. We had a couple of meals at the restaurant, which were perfectly decent and just about reasonably priced. We had a superior double room each, which included an amazing view of the beach. The features of the room are fairly standard, but all were working, clean, and tidy. Breakfast was decent enough, with plenty of options. I especially liked the bar area, which has lots of booths with views for a cosy drink with your travel party. A taxi is 10 euro into Cascais, or rental scooters or bikes can be found on the path that runs along the coastal road.

United KingdomThe property had a very dated, tired look about it. Some things were not well maintained - eg we had some rotten timber architraving in our room (at the base near the floor). Lovely view over the sea from the dining & breakfasting rooms, but the windows were dirty so this spoilt the view. We were not advised on arrival to park in the designated hotel parking areas, and on arrival we parked our car in the adjoining public car parking area. I moved it after about 3 hours into the hotel area, but by then it had recieved a large scratch on one of the doors in that time. Better if, on checking in, the staff had immediatley advised on the best place to park.
The location was excellent.

United KingdomAs I said the breakfast was plentiful and the food was of good quality. The small issue we had was the coffee and tea dispensing machine required an overhaul as it was so slow, and made you feel embarrassed holding up the queue. The bread toaster in my opinion also required attention, again it was so slow.
The location was absolutely amazing, the ocean was a sight to see. We booked the basic room which didn’t have the sea view but was spotlessly clean, which suited us for out two night stay. The staff were always cheerful and made you feel welcome. Breakfast was included which was plentiful although we had some issues.

HungaryThe quality of the breakfast could be higher. The selection is not wide at all, but this is the less; I don't mind if there is only one type of ham or bread, if it is a good one. The range of vegetables was nothing but some tasteless tomatoes.

The location is amazing because it's right on the beach. We had a room with ocean view and it was beautiful. The rooms are renovated, appreciated the AC with heat mode during the winter.
