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.).

Kitchen is shared and could be somewhat tidier and cleaner (having less utensils and food left by guests might help). Sea was rough, which made it difficult for us to sleep with waves permanently raging.
Wonderful location by the sea. Stunning sunset. Carefully decorated and comfortable. Jorg is a nice and efficient host.

Casa Praia has a perfect location right at the Atlantic Ocean. We had an attractive room, not large and minimally furnished, but everything we needed was there. All very clean and well maintained. The place has only two guest rooms and a wonderfully sheltered communal outdoor area (and kitchen) with sea views. We were lucky that we were the only guests and therefore had the casa to ourselves for the entire day. Manager Jörg is super friendly and communicates quickly and efficiently. He knows a lot about Tarrafal and the surrounding area. You can also contact him to arrange transport (boat, taxi, etc.). Breakfast was more than sufficient in quantity, although we would have appreciated a little more variety in fruit. And maybe something like yogurt with muesli and/or cornflakes... That said, what do you expect in a place 'at the end of the world', so no complaints. We enjoyed our stay!

- • Solo traveller

One should note that the guesthouse is located between the beach and only road going through the village, hence, it can be noisy at times. Moreover, one has to really like the sometimes rumbling sound of the Atlantic ocean waves hitting the shore, otherwise earplugs are a must. When I was leaving new mattresses were delivered, so this isn't an issue any more. Oh, and a spider here and there coming out from the old stone walls makes the overall African experience even more interesting.
This charming old stone house is indeed beachfront. The guesthouse is fairly clean. Since there are few/poor options for eating out in Tarrafal, a fully equipped kitchen is a huge bonus. Cooking with a German couple was indeed a nice experience. Jörg, the house keeper is super friendly and helped with just about anything. He arranged fresh fish from the fisherman.

If you only book one room you have to get lucky with your neighbours since you share the relaxing terrace + kitchen
Awesome vernue directly at the sea front! Waves can be a bit loud in the night if it‘s stormy.

No such thing.
Please consider that these comments are made by someone who travels around for fishing and is spending most of the time out on the water. But then Tarrafal is a remote destination where fishing and hiking are the only things to do. Casa Praia is very handy, cosy place with good accommodation and fully equipped kitchen where you can cook for yourself. Of course you can eat outside, but the choice is limited and you need to pre order. There is a small store 200m uphill with basic groceries. For some reason they don’t have tea or basic spices like pepper, so consider bringing these things with you. If you are coming for fishing, then Jorg who is a local host is your man. He can definitely point you in the right direction. Note that you are sharing the kitchen and the veranda with other guests. I had a hiking couple as house mates and we got together well. You can of course come with larger group of friends and rent the whole house. Hope this helps.
