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 reviewWe choose this property just for one night to get a ferry to santo Antão. It’s close to the port and we walked there in the morning. Sonia is very welcoming and kind, the access to the property was easy even if we arrived late at night. In the morning we also left soon and Sonia prepared for us a take away breakfast! The room was big and clean.
Nothing in particular

Verified reviewQuick check-in, friendly owner. The room was very spatious, with seating besides the bed, and a nice balcony (pity the wind was too strong to enjoy it). It is close to many things, but there are also many buses passing by all the time for going further. There is a bakery and an extremely cheap good food restaurant (Bar Atlantic) across the road. There is also a mini market that has most things. The ferry port is 20 minutes on foot, as is the beach (beach practically unusable due to wind, but incredible light and colors). Good wifi in the house. There is a common kitchen.
The shower area was always full of water even when we did not use it. There seems to be a pipe problem of some kind in the bathroom. Not seeing the water on the floor I slipped and almost fell. The bidet was also closed and out of function.

Verified reviewGreat place! The owners are very friendly and helpful, and easy to reach via booking or WhatsApp. The location is great, really close to a supermarket, some restaurants and the ferry to Sao Antao. There is plenty of parking options right at the house. The rooms and the other areas are clean, the breakfast is freshly made and the WiFi works great. Beds are comfy, but for 2 persons we prefer a bit wider. Shower works great (with hot water), there are enough plugs to charge your stuff. We have no complaints, everything was good! Thanks again!
Dear Gues Thank you so much for your very kind review. All the best for you! Anselmo and Sónia Fonseca
