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 reviewNice room with nice bed....we slept well.... A lot of pressure on the water...so we had a nice shower with warm water....it was great taking a shower.... WiFi was okay.... sometimes it was a bit weak... Breakfast was simple but very satisfied with nice omelet The reception was very helpful with arranging a roundtrip the island and taxi in the early morning to get us back to the airport...
the first night there was a terribly loud banging noise from the room next to us as if the windows had to be taken out The next day we reported it to reception and they immediately realized that these were probably the windows that were not closed. These had to be closed because there is no lock on them she fixed this right away

Verified reviewClose to the port, walking distance. Fast internet. It's ok to spend 1-2 nights
Insects in the room, look like little ants. EUR 40 per night including local taxes. I think it's overpriced compared to other hotels in Mindelo

Verified reviewI could hang my clothing for airfreshening. Cosy blanket.
Bad wifi. Very sticky air cause the window was facing the road and was on ground floor. So it could stay open for ventilation. The remote control of the ac was missing so no cooling also was not possible. No plugs in the room except one at the floor. The lightstands have also not been plugged in cause there were no plugs. The floor has been sticky, not dirty but sticky. Over all it is a very basic accommodation which is absolutely overpriced compared to other places to stay in cape verde.

Verified reviewBasic accommodation, about 800 m from the beach.
It was advertised as „beachfront“ which is absolutely not true. There is no ocean view and one is a 10 min walk from the beach. The beds are hard and the breakfast is rudimentary. The owner speaks only Portugese and the staff knows a little French. We booked and pay for 2 nights but left after the first night to find a better place closer the center.
