Google Review Ratings

Google Reviews are user-generated ratings and comments left on Google Maps and Search to provide feedback about businesses, landmarks, and locations. Users with a Google account can leave a review by selecting a star rating (1–5) and optionally adding text, photos, or videos. As new reviews are added, the overall rating dynamically updates based on the cumulative average of all reviews. Older reviews remain visible, but recent and relevant ones are often prioritized in search results. Google’s algorithm also factors in review frequency, recency, and engagement to ensure the most helpful and authentic feedback is displayed prominently. Additionally, businesses can respond to reviews, influencing customer perception and engagement. While the average of individual ratings is a core component, Google also analyzes review content using natural language processing to gauge sentiment and potentially adjust the final rating.

Page Help Tips

  • Site Search: Our search feature is powered by Google, and the search results you will receive will contain several Google Advertisements followed by a list of pages where your search phrase was found. For example, if you entered "Portugal" in the search text box, Google will show you every page on our site where the word "Portugal" appeared. Please note that our Site Search results are restricted to our Website only.
  • External Links: Where appropriate, points of interest, other sites, specific locations, etc will be linked to allow you to directly visit their website. These links will always be "blue" to allow you to distinguish normal text from links. These links generally are of other websites, Wikipedia Articles or other informative Web Page.
  • Pinterest: Because we allow & support Pinterest picture acquisition for all of our images, you will be able to "see" a Pinterest icon in the upper left corner of any of our images. The Pinterest icon will be visible when you hover your mouse over an image (on a desktop or laptop). To make the Pinterest icon visible on a mobile device (think iPad or iPhone), single click the image and the Pinterest icon will be made visible. NOTE: Some images on various pages will not be Pinterest "pin-able". You will have to go to that page's Image Gallery where all images are allowed to be "pin-able".
  • Slide Show: Left click any image (not on the Pinterest icon), and the slide show will start. To dismiss the slide show, click the "X" in the upper right corner of the window.
