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.).

Verified reviewCharming hotel in a beautiful setting. Breakfast was great with choice of eggs, fruits, buffet, and local foods like pao de quejo and tapioca crepes. Room was very spacious and clean. The hotel also helped us organize transfer via private taxi to Paraty from Sao Paolo, which was nice as we got to make some stops along the way.
The pool is not really big enough for swimming, it is more of a plunge pool. Also, the air conditioner in our room was a bit dirty (likely the filter needed to be replaced) so there was some dust coming out of it.

Verified reviewWe really had an amazing time in this accommodation and it is really really beautiful and it is more beautiful than in pictures.Within five minutes You are in the center of the town. Also we can never forget the cakes they baked in the afternoon they were so delicious. The breakfast was also amazingly good and the atmosphere is very relaxing. The girl is really nice and she helped us with everything. The Wi-Fi was also very good in the accommodation. It was one of the best accommodations we stayed in Brazil. Also, the bathroom had a good shower and there was hot water all the time.
Our room was a bit small but we knew that before but for two people with 2 big luggages was a bit impossible to fit in and move freely. Also, during some times of the day, the smell of food was coming into our room which was a bit strong in the early morning.we also happened to be there the first night of the Cachaça festival, and the loud music played till the early hours of the morning so if you are going during this festival be prepared, but that’s not the Hotel‘s fault

Verified reviewLovely breakfast to start the day with a hot selection to go with the excellent cold buffet and fabulous cake. Carpe Diem is nicely situated just over the river from the main old centre giving it a quiet location and only a 2 minute walk to see the sites. Very helpful advice available and we had a great stay.

Verified reviewUnique hotel at a great location. It's a few minutes walk from downtown. Thus nice and quiet yet close access to downtown. The hotel is a very relaxed place to hang out and rest. Great breakfast and tea time. Highly recommended
Can't flush toilet paper through the toilet and the sign that said so was a bit hidden. So we flooded the toilet.

Verified reviewthe location is perfect, very close to the historic centre, but also quiet the hotel and room was beautiful - the furnishings and artwork are amazing the staff were lovely and helped us with travel from Angra dos Reis and back to Rio airport the gardens were very peaceful and well tended, we didn't use the the pool as we went to the beach breakfast was lovely - a lot of home-made items eg bread and jam, and cake at 5pm the price of beer and water in our fridge in room was very cheap
BUT we were woken every morning by the staff preparing breakfast on the ceiling above us could hear them walking back and forth on the floor boards as we were underground BUT the wooden double bed squeaked every time I moved, which woke my son up who was sleeping on the sofa bed
