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):
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.
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.).

AustriaNothing to tell.
The owner is a professional TV cook. You could tell the food was special, had excellent taste, and was beautifully served. The owner has been an excellent host in the old sense, making connections to almost all guests.

NetherlandsUnfortunately only stayed one night, as I was traveling elsewhere - but staying here gave me the chance to really relax and prepare for my travel. The bed was comfortable and the room clean and spacious. Breakfast was great as well is the restaurant itself. I had the honor to meet the owner and she told me about this project - as this hotel is more than just comfortable rooms with a bed! (google all the info) Keep an eye on this hotel and come and support :)

ItalyThe property is very modern, with great design and very clean. Outstanding attention to customers. We returned here a few days after our stay and asked to keep our luggages for the afternoon and they let us do that free of charge. Breakfast was amazing and rich, and they serve dinner too with many options.

Germany-
Clean, modern, great location nearby the beach with easy parking and next to an awesome gym and the promenade with options to do CrossFit. For me, the best food on the island due to vegan and healthy, microbiotic food and lovely staff. The food is pricier than elsewhere, but worth it.

United KingdomNo kettle in the room. More savoury items at breakfast.
Maria Julia was very attentive and made us bespoke foods for breakfast that was accommodating for vegans. Excellent coffee. Beautiful hotel with a lot of potential - it isn't quite finished yet with lots of spaces yet to be utilised but it's going to be really lovely once it's complete. The rooms were spacious, comfortable with blackout curtains.

GermanyIt's a matter of taste - but I think a European style hotel doesn't fit in Praia. It doesn't have the charme of other places we stayed at in Cape Verde. The huge glass front that the sun shines at during most of the day is also not adequate to a hot capital because the house feels like a sauna so that the AC has to be constantly running in the rooms. That made me sometimes freeze because we didn't find a way to regulate the temperature (buttons didn't work). The hotel also doesn't follow its own sustainability policy - changed towels after one night although we didn't put them on the floor.
Huge room with comfortable beds. The bathroom was great. 1km to Kebra Beach, my favourite beach in Praia. Maria Júlia is friendly and a great host. Breakfast was the best we had in two weeks in Cape Verde, she offered so many things that she just cooked for us on demand - in addition to the buffet. The restaurant is also good for dinner, our pumpkin - sweet potato soup was excellent.

FranceBrand new place with large & confortable rooms, very clean, quiet. The hotel is located not far from town (if you do not want to walk, taxi is only 2 euros) & near beaches ans wonderful sunsets. Julia Maria is a wonderful host but also a recognised Cook in Cabo Verde : you will have great food at her restaurant.
