Reading the guest score
A score of 7.8/10, built on 929 reviews. With so many stays counted, no single guest swings the average much, which makes it a dependable guide.
In “Guest houses and B&Bs in Porto” it ranks 48 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.
