Guest Reviews
- Ramon (1/5): Segúna una vecina son unos estafadores habituales (todo presunto, claro) - Nada No estaban presentes las personas que debían darme la llave. El propietario no respondió a las llamadas ni los mensajes de wassap. Las personas encargadas de la entrega de llaves no aparecieron. Tenía un sistema de entrega por buzón electrónico que no utilizan. Una vecina nos indicó que es una práctica habitual de los propietarios y de las personas que entregan las llaves.
- Margarida (1/5): Horrível! Afastem-se desta propriedade - Nada! Uma falta de respeito pelos hóspedes, porque não respondem as mensagens, telefonemas e emails. Não havia ninguém para nos dar a chave!
Não reservem este alojamento! Uma péssima experiência. Paguei o alojamento e não pudemos usufruir do mesmo, uma vez que os anfitriões não apareceram para nos dar as chaves ou o código de acesso às mesmas.
Péssima experiência e penso que o “booking” não devia ter proprietários destes.
Tive de ligar para o apoio ao cliente da booking, que após várias tentativas de contacto sem sucesso, cancelou a reserva.
Total falta de respeito
Como tinha feito a reserva e subscrito o seguro de cancelamento, o valor da reserva foi-me restituído, mas o valor do seguro não foi.
Sinto-me enganada pelos proprietários, mas também pela booking
- Canto (1/5): - De nada porque quando chegámos para fazer o check-in, com a nossa reserva confirmada, a casa estava ocupada e não pudemos usufruir da nossa reserva. Tentámos contactar o proprietário de várias formas (todas as formas que nos são possíveis) e não tivemos nenhuma resposta, nenhuma explicação, nenhum pedido de desculpas, muito menos o nosso dinheiro de volta. Isto é no mínimo criminoso. Não gostei de ser vítima de uma fraude porque quando chegámos para fazer o check-in, com a nossa reserva confirmada, a casa estava ocupada e não pudemos usufruir da nossa reserva. Tentámos contactar o proprietário de várias formas (todas as formas que nos são possíveis) e não tivemos nenhuma resposta, nenhuma explicação, nenhum pedido de desculpas, muito menos o nosso dinheiro de volta. Isto é, no mínimo, criminoso.
- Luís (1/5): Efetuámos a reserva através da Booking com duas semanas de antecedência. No dia do check-in, ao chegarmos ao local, não -
- Pedro (1/5): A estadia foi marcada por total desrespeito e abandono por parte dos proprietários. - Nada! Fiquei profundamente indignado por não ter conseguido usufruir da estadia, depois de os proprietários nos deixarem cinco horas na rua, à chuva e ao frio, com a minha mulher e a minha filha. A falta de respeito foi evidente, já que nem sequer tiveram a consideração de nos contactar para resolver a situação. Uma experiência que deveria ter sido tranquila transformou‑se num enorme transtorno causado pela total irresponsabilidade dos donos da casa.
- Estela (9/5): Un fin de semana genial - Es una estancia genial para conocer la zona. Fácil de encontrar, cómoda y con todas las necesidades cubiertas pagar unos días de tranquilidad. Nos ha encantado.
- Vasco (10/5): -
- Vicente (8/5): - kit de boas vindas á chegada com vinho, sumos e chás e mesa posta. Bastante lenha á disposição para a lareira entrava um pouco de vento pela porta, mas é habitual em casa daquela geração
- JUAN IGNACIO (5/5): -
- Justin (9/5): -
- Ana (9/5): -
- Assunção (10/5): - Excelente localização, casa muito confortável com todos os essenciais e como a estadia foi no tempo frio, agradecemos muito pelo aquecimento.
- Vanessa (10/5): 2eme fois que loue cette petite maison typique de castelo novo et je m’y sent comme chez mes avos. À bientôt - Les cadeaux offerts par le propriétaire, petite bouteille de vin, eau, dosettes de café, thé.
Dans la salle de bain shampooing, gel douche.
Et la vue incroyable avec terrasse devant et derrière
- Vasco (10/5): - Divisões grandes, quarto confortável, com grandes roupeiros, casa de banho muito limpa. Capacidade de fazer comida com cozinha equipada Duche antigo, a deitar água de forma não natural.
- Pedro (10/5): Vou voltar - Localização muito boa
Espaço muito acolhedor
Vista deslumbrante
Casa equipada com tudo o que é necessário
- DIAMANTINO (8/5): -
- Joseph (1/5): - J avais louer pour 4 personnes mais il y avait un lit deux places et une banquette Pour une personne sa veut dire que mon fils a couché par terre cet pas normal de payer pour 4 quand il y a que 3 lit de plus il n y avait Pas de climatisation il faisait une chaleur a mal dormir toute les nuits je suis reparti j étais encore bien plus fatiguée quand arrivant
- Cátia (5/5): - A localização, o estilo da casa, a facilidade de check in (self check in), a limpeza Fomos no verão, a casa é muito quente, não conseguimos ligar a ventoinha e quando perguntámos ninguém disse nada.. provavelmente avariada.. chuveiro e redes mosqueteiras a necessitar de manutenção
- Carlos (1/5): Établissement à supprimer - La seule chose que j'ai aimé c'est l'extérieur.
L'intérieur j'ai pas eu la clé.
Le propriétaire nous a laissé dehors comme un animal. Les gérants ont aucun respect.
C'est à booking de enlever cette établissement.
Ils mon dégoûté.
Ils valent rien ces gens.
- Joao Nelson (6/5): - Da casa e da localização A falta de ar. Condicionado
- Mesquita (8/5): Foi uma boa experiencia. - O alojamento correspondeu ás expectativas, a localização é ótima para descansar e desfrutar de uma bela aldeia. O congelador não funcionava e a ventoinha de teto também não.
- Mikhail (1/5): Stay away if you want to get accommodation - Nothing, stay away from this accommodation The host didn't appear, couldn't provide the accommodation and just texted me the message she feels sorry and promised to refund. Two weeks later I still didn't receive any refund. Looks like I'll have to initiate the charge back process with my bank.
- Diamantino (9/5): Superb -
- Mário (1/5): Avoid this accommodation! Booking should not make business with this owner. - The house looks beautiful, from the outside. I am very disapointed with Castelo Cottages!
There was nobody there to open the door or to give me the keys. There was no contact to give me the code for the door either.
The owner simply doesen't care about their guests! There is no alternative way of contacting the owner for solving some sort of anomaly like this.
I contacted the Booking customer support, and they tried to contact the owner several times, with no results.
Booking refunded me for the money that I paid when making the reservation, and the people in the village were very kind and helped me to find na alternative accommodation there.
What I find shocking are the comments from the people living in the village, saying things like:
- "It's always the same thing!"
- "There were several other people facing this same situation when making reservation with this owner, even families with small children... They don't show up, and you can't contact them in any way, and you have to solve the situation on your own!"
It's a shame, because the house seems lovely (from the outside), and there are a lot of positive reviews from other guests...
- Philip (10/5): Exceptional - The cottage was well situated in the small town and reasonably close to amenities No key or key code on arrival day.told key holder I was arriving late but got no reply.arrived 3am had to sleep in car.key holder turned up 11:45 with apologies.not very satisfied this issue

- Alexandre (10/5): Exceptional - I'd like to join the chorus of those who admired that place: count me in!
- Guilherme (8/5): Very good - Beautiful location, lovely welcome pack, great to meet the owners father. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous, the people nearby friendly and a great lace for tranquility. Difficult to gain access as mobility issues, but pointed it out with a request for a rail.
