Reading the guest score
556 reviews have scored this place 7.7 out of 10. That is a large enough base that a single rave or complaint barely shifts it, so the number holds up.
Its place in “Guest houses and B&Bs in Porto” is 51 of 63, ranked on score and reviews together, so a single perfect 10 does not beat a 9.1 from two thousand guests.
