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 reviewOur stay at Cap Azul was amazing! The location is absolutely incredible, with unbeatable sea views and the sound of waves as you sleep—pure relaxation. The photos don’t do it justice; it’s even more beautiful in person. Guillaume the owner is very friendly, and check-in and check-out were seamless. The breakfast was delicious and overall, it was the perfect stay, and we highly recommend it!

If you don’t have a car it may be difficult to go there. Also as a suggestion I would recommend a coffee machine same way they do with the water and drinks

Verified reviewThe place itself is nice although a bit secluded.
There wasn’t really any staff there except for what appeared to be the owners who spoke little English or Portuguese so it was a bit hard to communicate. The reception was a bit awkward, no towels in the bathroom, the curtains could use a little wash.

Verified reviewThe room was spacious, cool and clean with a balcony. Very nice space. Our breakfast and evening meal were very tasty. Only complaint was the bathroom door made so much noise when opened that one couldn’t go to the bathroom without waking the other up - very annoying!

Verified reviewNice bedroom with private bathroom and balcony with ocean view. Wifi worked great. Breakfast included.
Nothing not to like! ;) It was a bit out of town though, need a taxi to drop you off and pick you up, if you don't have a rental car.

Verified reviewLovely relaxing position, nice pool , room and breakfast. Very well run. Unfortuantly the nearby restuarant is closed and you have to get into town for a meal. There is a very nice walk along the sea that takes about 40min. We walked back along the road in the dark with no problem. Taxi is around 4 Euros. Port Novo is devoid of good restuarants. We had a bad experience in a couple. Luckiliy Autentico exists (near the ferry terminal). We ate there on each of our 4 days. Wonderful local, well prepared food at a good price.

Verified reviewClean, comfortable rooms with acces to a big private roof terrace. Nice swimming pool and sunbeds where you can relax in the sun or shade. You can take a walk over the beach to restaurant Sabores Ratatui or further into the city, which is nice. A taxi from the hotel to the ferry was 400 escudos.
Only place on Santo Antão where we've had mosquitos. However there's a net in the room and also a fan which keeps them away.

Verified reviewLight rooms with a vast view of the ocean and São Vicente and a large balcony with multiple seating arrangements. The rooms are no-frills but really nicely furnished and very clean. The owner provides carefully selected breakfast options. If you prefer to take your breakfast alone, you can also take it back to your room and eat on the balcony, which we did and quite enjoyed.
