“5 star experience”
Based on the description I saw of the hotel, I was expecting something almost as basic as a Motel 6. Was that a wrong expectation! This is a beautiful hotel high up on a hill with a great view of the surrounding countryside. The room was spacious and clean and a good breakfast was offered. The… more

“Good standard traveller's hotel”
Hotel room had a balcony facing the telco tower. Room space was tight. Everything in the room functioned well. Too busy around the buffet at dinner time so we ordered off the menu. Buffet breakfast was also crowded. Food was OK Easy on site car parking.

“Great value for money”
We stayed only 1 night at the Melia Castel Branco. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spotless and had a comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a huge variety of options. The hotel is situated on a top of a hill and not the greatest location if you want to have dinner in to… more

“Nice city view thanks to room upgrade”
I chose the hotel because of the location and the fact it has electric car chargers on the parking. To my pleasant surprise I was upgraded to a city view room. There was only one AC charger on the parking but luckily there was not much charging going on so I could use it. The room was quite normal… 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There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published.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.
