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.).

United KingdomI'm quite an independent traveller: I like having access to a kettle in the room and being quite hands-on preparing my own food, so I was a little surprised at how much the kitchen was the domain of the staff. But to be fair, that seems to be the universal way of doing things all around Cape Verde, and actually meant as a form of politeness. So it's not really a criticism, more a reflection on my own style of travelling. The access to the kitchen and anything else I might need was offered to me; I just didn't want to be a nuisance.
Location is flawless - on a quiet street, but just off the main road. Aluguars stop virtually opposite the property and are very frequent, both going up the Paul Valley and along the coastal road. There is a little mini market just around the corner, open until 20:00. The owner is super - helpful and able to advise on all the best walks in the area. He suggested a much better walk than the one we initially wanted to do; he had maps and suggested places to eat. The room was very comfortable, clean, and the balcony was a nice bonus. The kitchen area is really nice, half al-fresco. All the staff were lovely and kind and very helpful. The internet works fine - there are 2 networks to choose from. I was also very grateful to have access to a guest fridge in the kitchen area. We regretted cancelling one of the 2 nights we'd initially wanted to stay and only staying 1. For bonus points, there is also a little 8-week-old puppy :)

BelgiumAs we shared the terrace with people smoking, I think you need to create the rule: either no smoking at all or you mention from the beginning to people that the terrace is possibly shared with smokers. We had to have an argument with the smokers in the other room (as they were smoking on the terrace, of course) as we couldn't let our door open for the fresh air from the ocean to enter as actually we could smell only their cigarettes...
We had a top floor room (with two big beds, superposed), with a big shared terrace. The room is big enough, simple but efficient for a holiday dedicated to hiking. The bathroom with the toilet and shower is big enough as well. Towels (big and few per person) were included. The place was clean enough, the girl was cleaning every day (not deep cleaning but a good refreshment). There are some good places to eat in the village (resto, local people).

FranceI confirm Wifi doesn’t reach the room. But ok for me since I have a SIM card. Breakfast could be improved - I was a bit disappointed by it. You have to make it more attractive delicious.
Honestly for this price, you can’t challenge a lot of things. Bed was ok. I had a small balcony to rest, the staff was nice and if you had any questions they were able to advice you. Location is easily accessible by Aluguers. Everything was clean (except the carpet in the bathroom - not sure I would have put my feet on it directly)

United KingdomNothing. I really liked the place and hope to stay there again
Very nice b&b in a great location, rooms are pretty, spacious and very clean, staff is lovely, breakfast is delicious. There is a nice shared outdoor space/garden to chill out after hiking. Jan (I hope I got the spelling right) who manages the place offered a lot of help with planning hikes and gave me great recommendations. He also shared info on places to eat, transport options etc, which is very useful especially that this was my first time in this country. I stayed one extra night to do more hiking. This time I came solo but I am planning to come back with my baby daughter and the boyfriend and stay again at this place. Really recommend it.

PortugalA simple guesthouse in the small town of Paul. A great stopping point when hiking the Paul Valley. The guesthouse team were friendly and accommodating. The room basic but quiet and clean. The view from the terrace was good and a great place to relax after a day's hike! A nice breakfast in the morning - bread, fruit, eggs, juice and coffee.

A friendly house on a good location in Paul. The manager was very kind and had a lot of nice tips to do in the neighborhood. He knows a lot of hikings and arranged transport if you want. Good breakfast, beds and shower. If you pay a small amount, you can swim in the nice swimming pool behind the house by the neighbors. When you stay in Paul, you stay here in Pousada do Cue.

The family was so nice and helpful that I felt very good and welcome there. Any question I had, Kati helped me with a smile. Also she organised a taxi driver to bring me to the Cova de Paul and she lent me a map of Santo Antao during my stay which was very helpful to me. I had a very big room (normally for 2 adults and 2 kids) with bathroom and balcony. Near the balcony were banana trees and other trees and I heard the birds in the evening. The night is very quiet. There is another terrace for all the guests where you can sit. Breakfast was very good. The location is perfect. When you came down from Cova de Paul you arrive just nearby the Pousada. There is a supermarket just at the corner. It was the best place I stayed during my holidays on Cabo Verde.
