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.).

BelgiumWe had a little quiproquo for the payment because communication was super clear... but that was minor issue and was solved easily.
We arrived in the middle of the night from Praia Airport and staff waited for us. The location is really nice and central in Tarrafal. Very nice terrasses and leisure area in the hotel. Very nice breakfast! Really recommend

NetherlandsThe lady who did our check-in was great, but our customer experience with the owner and the kitchen staff was very limited. No smiles, limited interaction during breakfast and difficult to order. A bit below expectations with this accommodation.
Location is great, in centre of Tarrafal, close to the beach. Rooms are clean, facilities are great.

IrelandA beautifully designed hotel with redwood details that created a warm feel in the dining area and rooftop facilities. The premises was vey safe and a staff member monitored the entrance which you accessed by using a buzzer. The one bedroom room was not large and little tight for space but had a comfortable bed and coffee making facilities. The view was excellent and it was possible to view the sunset from the rooftop terrace. The owner was friendly and considerate and gave us information on hiking and supplied us with walking sticks. The breakfast was served in a covered outdoor terrace with table linen. There were ample choices for breakfast and eggs freshly cooked to your specifications. The room was probably not cleaned as often as we would have liked but on two occasions we were in situ when the cleaners arrived later in the afternoon. The hotel is near the local park and this gives it a further airy feel.

The location in the very center of the village in proximity to grocery stores and restaurants was nice. The facility looks new and well-maintained. A good and substantial breakfast was offered. A terrace on the roof with a view of the Monte Graciosa and the village, two hammocks, nice flowers, and a pergola were a great addition.

The breakfast buffet was a highlight. Delicious and plentiful, with wonderfully friendly service! The front desk staff was available all day and until midnight to address any questions or concerns we had. They were flexible about extending our stay when we wanted to stay longer in charming Tarrafal, and even helped us move our personal items between rooms. And they helped us book a taxi for the return to Praia Airport! If I return to Tarrafal, I wouldn't stay anywhere else!
