How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Hi Andressa, thanks for the feedback! Barracuda Hotel & Villas encourages and values contact with nature. We chose this beautiful rocky coast that embraces the Atlantic Forest to be an exclusive refuge and a starting point for authentic experiences in Bahia! Gym is coming soon, but in the mean time, we can organize experiences that exercises the body and mind, and also the nature! We look forward to see you soon! =D Hugs from the Tribe

Verified reviewVery helpful reception staff who spoke very good English, a bonus in Itacare. Good food. Lovely views of the ocean from the main area. Dining and seating all open plan, so a very relaxed atmosphere. Decent infinity lap pool, more of a dipping pool to cool down in. One is very much on display if sunbathing which I wasn’t there to do as this was a stop off point before moving on. So be prepared for the diners to have a full view of you sunbathing, and diners be aware you have a full view of the sunbathers..
I booked a forest room in the hotel. Although it was in a forest, the plants were so high in front of the balcony I would call it ‘A plant view room.’ I couldnt’ see the sea beyond or any forest; although I did stay in a corner forest room as well, and had a corner view of the sea which was preferable. It was near the gym or yoga area so was sometimes noisy. There is also a rooftop bar above these rooms so one can hear the music which is very pleasant though is on a loop and after a couple of days a can be a little ‘trying,’ when one is trying to relax. Nothing a pair of noise cancelling headphones can’t sort out though. The waiters and waitresses were absolutely lovely but the language barrier can be a huge obstacle when ordering food. The menu is decent but vegetarian & vegan options are severely limited. NB: I did hear from a local that the beach villas are stunning.
Thank you for sharing in detail your experience with us. Our team takes great pleasure in welcoming and accommodating the needs of all guests. We are happy to know that you felt at home. Our The Forest suites are truly integrated into the native forest. During the architectural project there was a great concern to preserve all the biodiversity of the region, thinking of a structure that had the least possible impact. The sea can be seen in the background and for a better view we recommend The Barracuda suites, located on the upper floor. Also, thank you for the feedback on the menu, we are always attentive to be able to offer the best experience favoring local ingredients that are daily purchased from producers in the region. We look forward to your feedback. Hugs from the Tribe =D

Verified reviewThe hotel and staff are amazing! We loved our stay! Definitely recommend the hotel and great for couples.
We loved everything, the one thing we thought was missing was a hot tub or a jacuzzi. For rainy season that would have been perfect as pool isn’t heated.
Thank you for your feedback! In the near future, with the hotel expansion, we will have a great gym area with everything that you suggested. Please come again and check in a couple of years.
