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 States of AmericaI thought the price was a tad high for the location, but I decided it was worth it to me to be in such a idyllic setting.
Beds were very comfortable. The location, while remote, was perfect: incredibly quiet, surrounded by beautiful countryside, and a great hiking trail just off of the driveway.

United KingdomWhat can I say? This is a fabulous place to stay if you love fantastic views, picturesque countryside, a wide variety of birds (I was doing a birding trip and this location has masses of species to photograph), genial hosts, the most amazing dogs (gently, friendly, totally non-scary for those who are a bit wary), delicious and plentiful breakfasts, well-equipped rooms (mini kitchen and fridge is perfect for a bit of light self-catering if you don't fancy driving 8 minutes down the hill to Mertola) and a swimming pool. I can't wait to stay again.

United KingdomJose was a great host, welcoming, friendly, and very helpful. Breakfast was wonderful, plentiful with a wide selection. The location was perfect for us. Close to a local restaurant and just a short drive into Mertola, with great views of the surrounding countryside from the patio outside the room, west facing perfect for sundowners. For me, the best feature was the wonderful pool and terrace on the upper level. Friendly dogs were an added bonus.

United States of AmericaOur bathroom smelled a bit from insufficient sewer ventilation. We mentioned it to the wonderful owner who I'm sure will address it.
Hotel is located a approximately 5 miles from Mertola. It is rural with a view of distant mountains and wonderful dogs to play with. We enjoyed the chickens down the hill and sheep grazing in the distance (you could hear the sheep bells). Beautiful pool which we enjoyed greatly as the weather was quite hot. Glorious sunsets. Gracious breakfast. Welcome quiet after spending 5 days in Lisbon and Sintra.

Hong KongIt’s a 10 minute drive from Mertola, the main attraction in the area. There’s a small section of rough dirt road before reaching the lodge.
It exceeded our expectations. Friendly and caring host. Room not big but has everything, better equipped than other lodges 3 times the price. Breakfast was good too.

United KingdomIt wasn't easy to find in the dark. As against this, it was very nice to be rescued by the host. Everything else was first class.
This is an idyllic location. Quiet, remote, near the top of the rust coloured hills of Alentejo. A big friendly dog called Cali. I think there are only three guest rooms. Swimming pool immaculate. Meals can be had in nearby Mertola. Eggs from local hens for breakfast (their progenitor may have woken you). Not a place for children, as the only things to do are to read, cement relationships or simply stare into the distance with a meditative air.
