“Evora’s hidden gem - Pousada Convento”
The Pousada Convento is a luxuriously grand hotel to stay in. It’s also steeped in history. Rooms are very comfortable and the grounds are well kept. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I celebrated my 60th birthday there with my family and was treated like a star. Highly recommended staying… more

“Wonderful stay”
Most beautiful poussada - an ex-convent. Furnishings are tasteful & gorgeous - even an open fire in one of the sitting rooms. The room we had was spacious with a great view. There are tapestries, tiled cloisters with orange trees in the centre. Terrific, friendly staff. A wonderful experience

“A Great Place to Stay in Evora”
We were a group of 8 cycling through the Alentejo region and this was our first stop. The convent was selected by our bike tour company and we loved it. What a perfect location for exploring Evora. We could walk to shopping and each of our restaurants and there is lots of good sightseeing. The hote… more

“Perfect place to stay when visiting this historical city”
What more can I say, but you're sleeping in rooms that monks actually slept in. We loved it here for the one night. This is a 15th century property! Next to a cathedral and roman temple, what more could you want. Rooms are small (as expected) but nicely updated. Reception was very pleasant and … more

“Perfect location and a very nice place to stya in Évora”
The location is perfect. Next to the cathedral. Parking is free in a nearby parking lot - or you can pay 20 Euro to park at the pousada. We parked at the free parking lot - and it was very fine. Reception very helpful. Our room was very small and the bathroom also very small. Bed was too hard… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
