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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

United Kingdom- our first night was not pleasant. We found that the toilet would not flush and only scalding hot water initially came out of the taps then no water at all. The staff did not seem to care at all to find and immediate resolution or have anyone fix it. We spent a day and a bit going to the the hotel to use the toilet and check out showers when we paid to have a working apartment. Front desk staff did not seem remorseful or regretful at all which left us with a slightly sour feel after our stay here.
- Right in the heart of albufeira - Walkable distance to the closest beaches and the strip - Apartment and kitchen were fully stocked with all necessities

United KingdomI’d say because there’s no AC in the living room area, it becomes majorly hot inside the room, I would advise the hotel to probably look into that and see if they could install an AC in the living room. Also could do with better curtains for privacy if you want to get changed in your room with the light on. I would 100% advise, if you’re coming to this hotel really early in the morning e.g. you touch down at Faro Airport before 2pm, don’t expect your apartment to be ready. The room would be ready at 3pm/3:30pm onwards but due to the fact we got to the hotel at 11am, we were told that our luggage would be looked after whilst we wait for the room. Except, we were given a key to a room that holds our luggage inside and after we put our luggage there, we come back before 3pm, get told the room is ready and then we go to the luggage room to pick up our luggage to see that there’s many other luggage’s there? i found it a bit weird so probably do need to find a way to sort that out. Lastly, to the two women receptionists who served us when we first came into the hotel, I can understand that you’re dealing with a lot of tourists that come in and out etc so I could understand that sometimes you might be annoyed but I would advise, we’re not all like that, we don’t need an annoyed attitude but I won’t blame you, probably advise Emanuel to speak to them to sort it out.
The apartment was very clean, had everything you needed when it came to essentials. The AC in both the rooms we had worked amazing when dealing with the high temperatures. When my group were out enjoying the sights, the cleaning team would come inside the room and give us new towels and extra toiletries + nothing was stolen/or taken from the apartment, which shows that you can definitely trust Hotel Baltum in future use. The location in my opinion was excellent, you’re right next to old town which has a vast variety of restaurants and shops, majority of the places took contactless payments which made it easier. Even so, if you’re wanting to enjoy the night life, you’ve got a taxi stand right next to the hotel which can take you into new town (cab drivers do take euros so have some on you) and the rooftop bar at the hotel with the jacuzzi was great (closes at around 9:30pm), especially with the view you get when you’re at the top. I would also like to add, make sure you speak to Emanuel at the lobby to ask what there is to do, he’s got a vast knowledge of everything that’s going on and he was super helpful to us. Also the rooftop bar, I believe her name was Karina? she’s the one that was in control of the bar and made us feel comfortable and was a vibe whenever we had any enquires. Best thing about this place, you are literally 30 seconds away from the beach. There’s supermarkets everywhere so don’t worry about going to Lidl when you’ve got small businesses next to the hotel that don’t charge expensive and have everything you need for a good 5-7 days. P.S. if you’re going to do tours etc like boat, jet ski, quad biking, make sure you have euros on you & go to the ticket places! check all the pamphlets before you choose what you want to do (or probs check tripadvisor)

United KingdomThe air con wasn’t working in one of the bedrooms however, this was fixed within a couple of days of letting them know and the Wifi wasn’t working but again, not a huge issue for our party.
Perfectly placed in the heart of the resort but sound proofed enough that the noise of the clubs etc could not be heard late on.
