Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The rooms aren't carpeted. This meant that whenever my neighbour moved his chair, I could hear it scrape across the floor. This may be more to do with his technique than the hotel. You can definitely hear quite a lot from neighbouring rooms in the evening but it was perfectly quiet eventually for a good night's sleep.
It is only a short walk from the town centre. The staff I met on reception and at breakfast were extremely pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was substantial and set me up well for one day of walking and one day of sightseeing. The room was quite large and well set out with decent shower facilities.

1. The shower curtain was not adapted to the shower and the bathroom floor was wet after every shower. 2. The air conditioning worked but you couldn’t really change the temperature and it was a little but hot
We payed 7,5 euros and had a continental breakfast (important to our day of walking the Camino de Santiago).

The room was very dark, smelled of damp and had no life (I even bought some plants to lighten it up a bit) but the worst for me was that it had mould on the ceiling. The bed mattress was not comfortable and the linen was not soft and smooth (it felt starchy and hard) not comfortable on my skin, specially with the heat, regardless of the cool air from the aircon. The TV is very tiny and it really lacked variety in channels. There's no fridge (yet they allowed me to use theirs) nor iron in the room (no ironing sercice/facilities), the shower was not very practical and it would flood the toilet (and soak toilet roll if it stayed in its place) everytime I showered. The only plus was that it had a little balcony, just a shame that the view was completely blocked by the building opposite. Unfortunately it was a little bellow average and unless there are a few improvements I would not stay again. Would happily visit the staff and the beautiful town though😊.
The STAFF were all exceptional at making me feel welcome and comfortable, the room was so nice and cool when I came in, it felt great since it was extremely hot outside. The staff approachable, they made themselves available, and very accommodating. I really felt valued and looked after. The building itself was very clean and well presented and the location was excellent. I did the most to enjoy my stay and so did the staff.

Car park is very tight to leave. Wouldn't recommend trying it with anything larger than a supermini. Air con struggled to keep the room really cool but it was 38c, which is unusually warm.
Travelled as two adults and two children and we needed to find somewhere affordable for the last two nights of our Portugal holiday. Flag Hotel was within our budget but didn't get the best reviews. However, due to the great location close to the main area of Barcelos we decided to give it a try. Rooms need a bit of updating but everything worked well enough with exception of the desk chair, which looked like it was about to collapse. Other than that, very clean. The communal areas and the breakfast room were perfectly fine, and the buffet breakfast was good. I was worried it would be a busy, noisy hotel but had no issues at all. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I wouldn't say it was the best hotel I've stayed in, but better than we expected considering the price and reviews.
