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 was absolutely wonderful! The view from the room was breathtaking – we could have sat there for hours just enjoying it. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and we slept so well every night. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The breakfasts and dinners were fantastic – everything was fresh and delicious! We especially loved the homemade juices, teas, yogurts, and meals – such a treat! We also really appreciated all the helpful advice and recommendations about local sights, hiking trails, and places to visit. It made our trip even more special. We would love to come back and can highly recommend this place to anyone!

Verified reviewI felt so lucky to have found this hotel in the beautiful Paul Valley. The view from our window is exceptional and it makes me feel so calm and energised. You can hear frogs and lots of different insects in the forest at night, which itself is calming. We also had a little visitor (owner’s cat) in the room. Amazing memories, will definitely come back again!
Nothing. I loved my experience at Casa Cavoquinho

Verified reviewBesides the gorgeous location, the friendly staff and the good food, the staff went out of their way to organise a seperate dinner for my husbands birthday, with decorations and everything you could wish for. They couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommend!

Verified reviewAmazing room, so clean and stylish and unbeatable view. Location right off the main walking trails, they provide you with qr codes for selfguided hikes on maps.me (works offline). Breakfast was heavenly. It does not have a swimming pool but honestly it wouldn't make sense in the mountains as it rarely is hot enough to enjoy it. Bathroom is very nice though with great shower
Quite expensive, but again, well worth it

Verified reviewGood comfortable bed. Everything very clean. Spacious room. Like a tree house in the jungle for Europeans.
I’m seventy so didn’t like all the stairs. Not a problem for younger people. Access also a bit tricky.

Verified reviewThe crew of Casa Cavoquinho did everything to make this a memorable stay - from a delicious breakfast and dinner, providing filtered water for the hikes, providing detailed recommendations for various tours, supporting with transportation and so on. The house is situated perfectly to start various hikes from their doorsteps and the view from the rooms and terraces are stunning.
