What the score and its reviews tell you
8.5 out of 10, over 100 reviews. One guest's good or bad night will hardly move an average that size, so the score reflects the usual experience.
By score and number of reviews together, it takes 254 of 549 in “Apartments in Porto”: a lone 10 weighs less than a 9.1 from a couple of thousand guests.
