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...).

NetherlandsKitchen could do with an upgrade: broken oven and leaking fridge. Off season you might prefer having a hire car as it’s a little away from the city and easier to reach the beach and other places on the island.
Perfect winter stay in a beautiful mansion with all the comforts of home. Absolutely lovely staff who were super helpful and friendly, always taking the time for a quick chat and making recommendations for things to see on the island. Beds are comfortable, good private bathroom, reliable WiFi, full kitchen facilities. Pool in the garden with a lovely yoga area.

PortugalIt's a big walk to the city center, but I would say most of the people that go to São Miguel rent a car, so that won't be a problem for most of the visitors. Also, don't be put off because of that, because there are hourly buses just next door that connect to the city center, which was very helpful for me in the middle of a storm.
Perfect stay, totally recommend it. I was attending a game in the stadium next to the hotel, so for me the location was just perfect. The room was big and had everything that I needed for a great night, and all the facilities (full kitchen, lounge, swimming pool) were also very good for the price. There was a huge storm the day I stayed and the staff was incredibly helpful, saved me of getting totally soaked to the airport. Thank you, will stay again next time!

AustraliaWe could hear the front door closing and opening which was disruptive at times. Bathroom and room become quite damp after showers but this is also in part due to the island's high humidity. Everyone has breakfast together which is lovely but it means that if you need to leave earlier than 9 am, you will miss out.
The staff and guests at Salt Lips are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish we could have joined more activities (yoga, surfing, island tour), but as we were not aware of this we had prebooked tours/rental car. The breakfasts and dinners were amazing. Lots of facilities such as pool table, swimming pool, lounge to keep you entertained. We were able to make use of the washing machine and dryer which was a lifesaver during our 6 week Europe trip.

Czech RepublicWhile we thoroughly enjoyed our stay overall, there were a couple of aspects that we found disappointing. Firstly, we noticed that the curtains in our room were dirty, which took away from the overall cleanliness of the space. Additionally, we encountered some issues with broken lights in the common areas, which affected the ambiance and functionality of those areas. Despite these minor inconveniences, we still appreciated the efforts of the staff and the overall experience at the accommodation.
We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay! The level of attention and care from the staff was exceptional, and they always went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. They were incredibly accommodating and readily catered to our every request. Additionally, we were delighted by the optional program that was available for purchase. It added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip and allowed us to make the most of our time there. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of our stay and would highly recommend it to others.

SwedenI mixed up the description of the "pool" table in the belief it was a pingpong table when I booked, so I really missed the ping pong table which I had much looked forward to beat my boyfriend in.
A grand joy to arrive into this welcoming oasis in Ponta Delgada, I got greeted by kind people who were genuinly interested in me, a rare bijou in these lands - you are far more then a customer. You are home. Easygoing, I had the opportunity to rest and be by myself, drink a coffee or play the guitar in the hammocks, or I could indulge in the cosy socialness of thought-through activities like surfing or a three-course meal by an amazing cook who brings some vegetables from his own garden. I´ts a well balanced atmosphere of community and down to earth-service. Every person who worked at this place was very loving and well-meaning people who´d Id wanted to talk more to, it was just too much fun stuff to do. And the beach is just a free electric bicycle-ride away rolling down the hills. Oh! And the BEDS were the best on the island (- and I´ve been to quite many.)

SwedenI really enjoyed my time at Salt Lips. The house is great and very clean. The vibe and the team in the Villa very chilled and friendly. Every morning we got surprised with a Breakfast special by Alexandra :) then we went surfing and in the afternoon there was an option to book a yoga session. There is plenty of space to work and the garden is big and has a pool, skateramp and billiard table. The location of the Surf house is close to the ocean and the different surf spots. The city is also not far and overall its a perfect base for exploring all the different spots of the island. Ill be back in the summer, then for the full surf package experience.

NetherlandsThe location was nearby Ponta Delgada and the airport, but was located at a very busy road. Also the curtains were very thin, so you wake up very early. And the last point, it was a accomodation where animals were prohibited, but they own a dog. We chose this accomodation because no animals were allowed, but at breakfast there was a big dog.
It was very clean and they offer you many facilities. You can go out for surfing in the morning, in the afternoon you can go on a tour and in the night they can cook for you.
