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...).

SwitzerlandThe property was very spacious and comfortable for 6 adults and a small baby, beautifully set up for us on arrival. Lovely pool area and peaceful setting by the golf course. But not far to drive to supermarkets, beaches and marina.

This is a beautiful property for a big family. Great bedrooms. Great living spaces and outstanding outside space to relax and socialise. The welcome package and little welcome packs and water in the room was a lovely touch.

United KingdomThere wasn’t anything we didn’t like…. The only thing would be to change the single beds to a super king size bed as my son is very tall and would have happily shared with his friend in a bigger bed as found the singles too small (he’s very tall) but that is a very picky observation as the villa is fantastic with everything there that is needed.
The lovely owner Kirsty has been in constant contact with me since booking the villa and arranged to meet us all there even though we didn’t arrive until nearly midnight. She was so friendly and welcoming and showed us quickly around the villa knowing we were tired and kept in contact and happy to help throughout our stay.

United KingdomWow! Where do I start?! What an incredible week we had here. Kirsty and Joao were so helpful and accommodating from the moment we booked, with recommendations for places to eat, things to do, general advice and arranged our taxis to/from the airport. When we arrived, the Villa was stunning, clean, extremely spacious and simply took our breath away. It was certainly the relaxing trip we were after. Kirsty and Joao’s hospitality didn’t end there. After a tour of the villa, equipped with literally everything you could possibly need, (they think of everything!) Kirsty took us to the supermarket! (Talk about above and beyond!). A special thanks to Joao too for his patience rescuing our little boys toys every morning from the pool! Fantastic week, thank you so much for making us all feel welcome! We will see you again soon!

Amazing Villa, Kirsty and her husband couldn’t have been better hosts. Honestly the best Villa stay that my family and I have ever had. They were super helpful and accommodating on everything that we asked. The little details in the Villa were also a lovely surprise, they think of everything e.g even kitchen foil and cling film are supplied!

Great views over the adjacent Pinhal golf course and perfectly located in an exclusive quiet cul de sac. This villa definitely has the wow factor and this is our second stay there in successive years. The hosts couldn't do enough for us. We'll be back.

Fabulous villa in a fabulous quiet location. The hosts Kirsty and Joao were wonderful to deal with and catered for our every need. Local to all amenities and a short (cheap) Uber ride to the town centre and Marina. The rear garden overlooks Pinhal golf course and has a great pool and poolside facilities all provided.

The Villa was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The location was great. Feel that should have hired a car but thank god for Uber. All the necessities were there from dishwasher tablets to shower gel a great addition and very thoughtful of the hosts. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning at some point.

United KingdomThe villa was incredibly spacious and clean. The pool was excellent and regularly cleaned. Pool inflatables and water pistols were a big hit with our two year old. High spec air con in all rooms and smart Tv including Netflix. Fantastic gas BBQ to cook food from supermarket which is just a 15 min walk away. Ubers readily available to return from supermarket or get to villamoura marina. Hosts were great and very helpful including recommending an outstanding restaurant. Deposit paid back before I was even off the plane. Kirsty kindly posted an item that we had somehow left behind.

United KingdomEverything, can’t fault one single thing, it was perfection.. We hired a van as there was 7 of us. 10 minutes to the beach, 10 minutes to the port, where we went for dinner every night. It was immaculate throughout, all the bedrooms were fabulous, from the decor to the unbelievable comfy beds and the air conditioning.
The Villa was absolutely amazing, best place we’ve ever stayed in…None of us wanted to come home!

United KingdomIt was perfect so cannot think of anything we didn’t like 🥰
Magellan House is probably the best villa we have ever stayed in and the owners Kirsty and Joao made the holiday so special . Kirsty put welcome baskets of toiletries in all 4 bedrooms (which are all en-suite) even Kids Shampoo for our grandchildren . The kitchen was so well equipped including all the tea , coffee ,cleaning materials , washing up pods ,dishwasher tablets and bottled water the list is endless plus a large entrance hall , massive lounge area with TV including Netflix, separate utility room and double garage . The property was immaculate , very stylish decor and we enjoyed the substantial outdoor space with large pool which even included inflatables , which again the kids loved ! It’s around a 40 minute walk into Vilamoura Marina and there is a supermarket less than 10 minutes drive away . The villa is on a quiet cul de sac overlooking Pinhal Golf course so the men in our party enjoyed chilling and watching the golf from the expansive outside terrace plus I think cold beers were also in there somewhere . Can’t say enough about Magellan House !! if you are looking for fantastic space with everything you could possible need this is the place for you !!

United Arab EmiratesWhat an outstanding place! The villa was absolutely excellent and the outdoor space was beautiful. We stayed for a week and the property had everything we needed and more. The hosts were an absolute pleasure to deal with and ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The location is excellent and in a really nice development of villas. The view onto the golf course was great and we loved spending time in the pool or cooking BBQs. Staying in the villa was far better than any hotel we saw in the nearby area. We couldn't recommend this villa enough! Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
