Reading the guest score
7.5 out of 10 from 518 reviews. With that many stays behind it, one unhappy or delighted guest hardly moves the average, so it is a fair picture of what to expect.
In “Guest houses and B&Bs in Porto” it ranks 53 of 63, sorted by score and number of reviews together, so a perfect 10 from one guest does not outrank a 9.1 from two thousand.
