Verified guest reviews from real Bookers

Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do 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 or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

We booked a week in advance, and got a room on the ground floor just by the pool. This meant that it was quite noisy with children screaming and very loud music from the pool area. We could hear the music and loud noise even with all doors and windows shut. I would recommend the pousada to decrease the volume of the music and limit it to stop by 8pm (and not 10pm), and instruct guests in the pool to be mindful of others that are trying to relax in their rooms. The room smelt a bit mouldy, but I think this was due to the location of it (no direct sunlight, which may have caused the dampness).
The location of this pousada is amazing. Probably the best location in Buzios! You can go by foot almost anywhere and further away beaches are only a short drive away. It was very charming, the room was spacious and breakfast was delicious.

We were just a bit disappointed by our room that gave into the inside patio instead of the outside (while this was supposed to be an upgrade...). So not very private and a bit dark. Also, we were a bit surprised by the constant music playing in the lobby and common area. But as soon as I asked to change to nicer music the team was very friendly and did it immediately. Will probably return, but different room next time. thanks!
Very nice and friendly place.

Beautiful inn with cozy atmosphere in a great location, just a short walk to the beach and to town with restaurants and shops. The rooms and bathrooms are modern, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is delicious and the staff is very kind and helpful. Couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay in Buzios

1. Receptionist Fernando was very rude, couldn't even say welcome! 2. Rooms with extreme mold smell, they have tried to cover up with paint, without success! Just for the record we changed rooms twice and both rooms were moldy! 3. Breakfast without air con. meaning you started your day sweating, coffee was terrible! 4, We had booked 2 rooms for 3 persons, same price for the two rooms, there was a welcome drink included in the stay, so we ordered 4 drinks for two rooms, because we thought that 2 rooms for the same price would mean 4 welcome drinks! But no, the receptionist came out to the pool and told us in front of all guests, very embarrassing that there would only be 3 welcome drinks. How narrow minded can you be?! 5. I suggest. if you can erfort it, than book the hotel next door, the Vila da Santa Hotel Boutique & SPA it's worth it

we booked a superior room but were given a floor room right in front of the swimming pool and coffee tables, without any privacy, no window, but a glass door opening to the passage. room smelled like mold and there was a cleaning product sprayed from the air conditioner to mask the smell. there were ants on the furniture, inside the closet and in the bathroom. they said it was the only room available because we were the last to arrive and that they would change it after 2 nights. we stayed for just one night and moved to another hotel. we payed for a non refundable reservation but still hoping to be reimbursed for some amount.
