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 reviewThe staff making breakfast was very friendly. Location was amazing and opposite a good restaurant. View was amazing and the pool was nice.
Due to my food allergy I could only eat 1 egg and fruit. The bathroom was a little bit old and moldy. the springs of the mattresses were noticeable when sleeping. Also a big gap in the middle of the bed. Checking in and out was not very easy since the owner wasn’t available during these hours.

Verified reviewWe arrived at the hotel in the afternoon, straight from our hike which started at the Cova crater - Vale do Paul. The location was very convenient for our travel plan. There is a grocery store right next to the hotel, and a restaurant opposite to it. The hotel is very well maintained, there is a nice pool in the garden and breakfast is also served there (it was a very good one!). The room was clean, air-conditioned, with comfy beds. We spent 2 nights there and could not enjoy the second breakfast but the host was very kind and gave us some bananas for our next hike (Cruzihna - Ponta do Sol). He also arranged a taxi for us upon departure, overall he was very attentive and welcoming.
Cannot think of anything.

Verified reviewBeautiful surroundings, breakfast was enough, staff was nice
There were frogs croaking very loud all night, mattress were quite uncomfortable and rooms needed some maintenance
We appreciate your comments. In reference to frogs, we can't do anything, as they are sounds of nature, normal in the environment where we are. These sounds, which are pleasant for some, do not always happen. It depends on the season. We intend to change the mattresses and maintain the rooms throughout this year.

Verified reviewSecluded courtyard room just in front of the little pool. We loved outstay here. It was peaceful with a nice sized clean room and bathroom. A delicious and varied breakfast was included in the price and our hosts couldn’t have been more helpful with choosing treks and organising onward transport. Highly recommend

Verified reviewBeautiful locatie in de valley. Nice garden with pool. Friendly helpful owner.
Cleaning could be better, bathroom door blocks and makes a lot of noise while closing. Door to the room can only be openend with the key also from the inside. By use with two persons, when the nummer one leaves with the key, the second person is looked in.

Verified reviewOur host was exceptional. He was warm, well informed and responsive to our needs. He made excellent suggestions and arrangements for eating in the evening. We greatly enjoyed watching the football game between Cabo Verde and Mauritania with Tony and some of his other guests. The rooms were arranged around a very pretty courtyard which also housed the pool
It was all good

Verified reviewTony and Alice were great hosts, the breakfast was very good and it's in a quiet location.
There are no restaurants in walking distance but it's a short taxi ride to Paul, there a plans for a new restaurant across the road to be open in the summer.
