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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

BulgariaIt felt like visiting friends :) We had everything we need, Pablo and Olivia were so kind, they made us a plan and showed us the best places to visit during our stay. The location is great, we had rented a car and we loved everything about our stay. The studio is new, cozy and clean. Olivia was so kind and sweet - she even washed our clothes. We had a basket of local products as a gift :) I really could not recommend this place more! We would love to return one day ❤️

United StatesMaybe the bed could have been a bit firmer? But that's definitely a personal opinion as I don't care for soft memory foam mattresses. Pineapple Studio is perfection. We cannot sing its praises high enough.
Pineapple Studio is run by a wonderful couple, Graca and her husband Paulo a policeman. It’s named Pineapple Studio because they also run their generational business of greenhouses in which they raise pineapples. It’s a wonderful apartment, with Graca as the best host anyone could possibly hope for, always looking for a way to go above and beyond. It’s spotlessly clean. Everyday she changes the (very nice) towels, makes the bed and cleans! Her personal touches were greatly appreciated such as the basket of packages of cookies, crackers, chips and even a bag of oatmeal. The wifi signal was great, the shower was hot with great water pressure, the bed was comfortable (although I found it a bit soft), the area was very quiet, the kitchen came with every type of utensil or dish one would need to make a meal on either a 4 burner stove top and a microwave (no oven). There was even a washing machine onsite and although we didn’t make use of it, this was an amenity that was difficult to find in our travels. Free parking is right onsite--literally just steps away from the front door. And the property has a steel security gate that makes everything private. There's a shopping mall and 2 large grocery stores both within about a 10 maybe 15 minute drive from the property. Perhaps within about 2-4 blocks away there are 3 different small beaches where you can watch the waves crash into shore. And the airport is about a 15-20 minute drive away. We wanted to extend a special thank you to Graca for her assistance to us the first morning after we arrived so late the night before. Thank you for your assistance with the rental car place. And we appreciate your understanding with my extreme fatigue after almost 3 weeks of being on the road. All I wanted to do was sleep and Pineapple Studio provided a home away from home for us where we could relax and catch our breath. Thank you Graca for all your efforts. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer.

PolandOur second stay at this apartment was just as wonderful as the first, if not more so! The cleanliness of the place was exceptional, with daily housekeeping keeping everything spotless and fresh towels provided each day. This attention to detail in maintaining the apartment truly made our stay comfortable and hassle-free. The highlight of our experience, however, was the incredible hospitality of our hosts. They went above and beyond, treating us with the warmth and care as if we were part of their family. Their friendly and attentive approach made us feel truly at home and added a special touch to our visit. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone seeking a spotlessly clean, cozy, and exceptionally welcoming place to stay. It's evident that the hosts are deeply committed to providing a memorable experience for their guests.

Everything was very clean as well equipped. The hosts, Graça and Paulo, were friendly, helpful and informative. We really enjoyed our chance to talk with them and appreciated learning more about their pineapple production. The walk to town to a couple of different, excellent restaurants, was not far. It was very easy to get from their place to the airport in the morning.

We have had very good experience during our 2 weeks stay at this place. The owners are wonderful and very helpful. If you have no idea how to explore the island with a great enthusiasm they help plan a tour. The apartment is well equipped, nothing is missing, an additional advantage is a place to park, so you do not have to worry about where to leave the car. Graça often does laundry so you can confidently take fewer clothes. Graça and Paulo have created a magical atmosphere and staying at Pineapple Studio makes you feel at home. Highly recommended!

I loved my stay with Graça and Paulo! I don't think I've ever stayed with a more friendly and sweet host couple. They made every effort to make me feel safe, comfortable and happy during my stay. I got so many great recommendations about the island and what to see from Paulo - I managed to see and do almost everything! And Graça cleaned my apartment spotlessly every day, even did my washing a couple of times. I cannot recommend highly enough this place. If you want to stay somewhere where you are warmly welcomed but also given as much privacy as you need - this is the place for you!! The location was perfect for seeing the island with a rental car (parking inside the gate on the property). Thank you Paulo and Graça!

On the last day he showed us his pineapple plantation. Saved us a trip to an 'official' plantation. Mrs. Graça was very helpful in everything about the stay. She did laundry for us and cleaned the room every day. There is parking in the yard, the gate is locked. We definitely want to return!
