Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomThe spa was great (albeit the jakuzzi wasn’t warm enough) the only negative I had was the shower in the bathroom. Mine didn’t work well at all. Very slow pressure. Happened all three nights. I should have said something but I didn’t. Apart from that, very nice stay. I would stay again but at £100, it’s quite pricey for ten month of February.
Really enjoyed the stay at Vila Praia. Staff were great. The food was fantastic.

United KingdomMaybe it would’ve been nice to have a kettle or coffee making facilities in the room (they do supply them at reception though). As it was off- season the hotel was very quiet, so sometimes there wasn’t always someone in the bar/restaurant to get drinks.
Beautiful hotel with stunning grounds. Gorgeous pool and next to sandy beaches. Spotless and modern rooms and facilities. Staff were friendly and accommodating, went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

IrelandThe bed had a mattress protector made of plastic so when you moved it made noise and was not comfortable as we were roasting with it but easy solution, just remove it and remake the bed. Breakfast options were lovely and tasty but limited so after a few days we were a little bored with it, perhaps maybe it could be changed up each day? Two very small things which would not stop me from recommending this place!
Great hotel, only 40 rooms so feels like you’ve the place to yourself. Staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Room over looking the pool was great, good size and all you need. The spa includes free access to jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and I would highly recommend getting a massage (prices are not too bad)! There’s a chill out area which pool table and cocktails from the bar are fab! Location is great, 3 mins walk to the beach which you pass a fab Italian restaurant and on the beach there are a few bars, the one on the right we had a great fish meal in one of the nights. If you are looking for something a little more peaceful then this is your spot. We got a Uber into Albufeira one of the nights and was so glad we were staying out of that madness.

United KingdomWe probably couldn't have done longer than 3 or 4 days just because there's not too much to do in the surrounding area. It would have also have been nice to have a coffee machine/kettle in the room already and not have to pay for milk.
Staff were so lovely and accommodating. We were there for our anniversary and they'd surprised us with a bottle of delicious champagne. The hotel is clean, shiny and quiet. Don't bother with local restaurants because the one here is exceptional. The pool and spa feels secluded and a treat. And then you go down the road to reach the beach and sea. Felt like the escape we needed.

United KingdomEverything was great
Hotel is is a quiet location which was perfect. Long strip of a beach you can walk. 3 lovely restaurants on the beach, and a few more next to the hotel. you won’t feel you need to go to another town to eat. Best sunset and seafood. hotel is boutique, comfortable room, clean and spacious. Staff is lovely. Grounds of the pool area is beautiful. Plenty of sun beds. There is also indoor hot water big jacuzzi and steam room, sauna. Overall it’s a lovely hotel to relax and enjoy the warm weather. It’s not on the beach but literally less than a min walk to it. sun beds on the beach are for couple 10 Euro. I recommend to use the beach behind the first restaurant on the left. More secluded and quiet. And that restaurant has a bar upstairs. It’s the best spot to watch glorious sun set whilst you sip your delicious cocktails, with lounge music. Just lovely.
