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.).

My stay at Hospedaria Abrigo de Botelho was truly unforgettable! This charming hotel is both centrally located and incredibly peaceful, offering spotless rooms, a serene atmosphere, and a delightful breakfast in the inner garden. But what truly made my experience special was the exceptional hospitality of the owners, Mr. Roy and his wife. They took care of every detail with such warmth and kindness that I felt completely at home. Leaving was bittersweet, and their thoughtful gesture of walking me to my taxi speaks volumes about their genuine care for their guests. If you’re looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and charming stay in Goa, this is the perfect choice!

Nothing - all was good
The guy who ran the place was super helpful and freindly and told us all sort of practical details such as the best place to change money in town and also where to get an Indian SIM card. The buliding is a traditional Portuguese large home and is beautiful with dark wood ceiling and tiled floors. It is in the heart of town but there is not much noise. Beds are really big!

Beautiful historic house in a superb location, walking distance to fantastic restaurants and bars. Great breakfast choice including freshly cooked food in a garden setting. The owners were super helpful with ongoing travel advice and also helping us to make the most of our stay in this charming city.

The beds are rather hard for those that like something softer however pillows and bedding were great.
Triple room for 2 was huge with balcony, large bathroom and dressing room. Lovely old interior and furniture. Right in the old town but quiet at night. A characterful property. Breakfast was good and could be eaten outside in the garden.

The Hospedaria Abrigo is a beautifully maintained guest house in the Latin Quarters of Panaji. Roy and Sharon were the perfect hosts with recommendations for local restaurants, sight seeing and organising transport for our onward trip. Their staff were cordial and helpful. The home cooked breakfasts were lovely - a wide choice including an opportunity to try a variety of Goan dishes. The rooms are big and spacious, clean and comfortable.
